Key Responsibilities
Develop and execute component, subsystem, and system-level verification and validation plans based on technical requirements and stakeholder inputs.
Support creation and maintenance of Design Verification Plan & Report (DVP&R) documentation and ensure adequate test coverage.
Perform requirement analysis and derive test cases using techniques such as Boundary Value Analysis (BVA), Equivalence Class (EC) testing, and risk-based methodologies.
Conduct verification and validation activities using HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop), SIL (Software-in-the-Loop), and MIL (Model-in-the-Loop) environments.
Execute and support closed-loop testing activities to validate product functionality and system performance.
Analyze test results, identify failures, investigate root causes, and recommend corrective actions.
Own resolution of moderately complex product, component, or system issues with guidance from senior engineers when required.
Evaluate analytical, simulation, and physical test data to validate product capability against requirements.
Utilize systems engineering principles to manage interfaces, requirements traceability, integration activities, and product risk.
Support product failure mode avoidance activities, including identification of potential failure modes and mitigation strategies.
Apply statistical methods and data-driven approaches to support engineering decisions and improve product quality.
Develop and maintain technical documentation, test reports, issue logs, and validation records.
Support change request (CR) management and verification of engineering changes.
Use engineering tools and processes including Engineering Standard Work (ESW), iDFMEA, DVP&R, Integrity, Power BI, and other validation systems.
Create and maintain test automation scripts using Python, CAPL, NI TestStand, ECU-Test, or similar tools.
Work with communication protocols such as CAN, J1939, UDS, and related diagnostics systems.
Coordinate testing activities with technicians, interns, or other supporting resources as needed.
Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives for test methodologies, tools, and validation processes.
Collaborate effectively with global and cross-functional teams to meet project timelines, quality targets, and business objectives.
