Validation Project Lead

The Qualification Testing (BEV and ICE) team operates in a fast-paced, dynamic environment within the Vehicle & Propulsion Controls department. The ideal candidate for this position is a strong team player willing to work in a fast-paced environment. Our mission is to isolate software bugs in electrified and ICE powertrains, ensuring the delivery of robust, high-quality software to the development fleet. The Validation Project Lead role is ideal for self-starters eager to develop a deep understanding of powertrain control subsystems and contribute to delivering world-class vehicles.

Key Responsibilities:

Develop and execute Design Verification Plans (DVPs) for propulsion system requirements testing. Critically evaluate requirements, design DVPs, and conduct testing. Determine the appropriate testing environment for each test case (e.g., HIL or vehicle). Perform issue pre-analysis to identify potential root causes and solutions. Identify critical and edge-case maneuvers to expose potential failures. Conduct testing on propulsion system architectures using Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and vehicles.
This role offers a unique opportunity to work at the forefront of powertrain software validation, ensuring the performance and reliability of cutting-edge vehicle technology.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical, Mechanical, or System Engineering or equivalent degree
