He/she specifies the test cases following the test strategies.

He/she ensures that the test environment is set-up correctly.

He/she executes the tests.

He/she ensures the consistency of the test results with the test specification, the device under test and the relevant System release.

He/she reports to the Test Lead or System Validation Technical Project Manager.

Responsibilities

Execute application and test-related tasks in coordination with the application team lead.

Align System Test Specifications with the Function Manager and participate in peer reviews for test plans and specifications.

Escalate deviations to the System Test Lead, providing adequate information and proposals for decision-making.

Support the closing of system test activities and prepare test reports.

Innovate and develop alternative test solutions to improve existing strategies.

Analyze incoming system requirements and develop Test Specifications with full traceability to ensure coverage of all system interfaces and stakeholder requirements.

Perform DVP&R and/or homologation tests according to customer requirements.

Support vehicle integration with OEM teams for active safety sensors (ultrasonic, cameras, driver monitoring, clusters, PEPS).

Ensure completeness of mechanical analysis and design verification activities, including measurement and analysis of ultrasonic sensor Field of View (FOV).

Manage vehicle-specific parameters and perform flashing of ECUs.

Execute bench-level and vehicle-level testing, including smoke, regression, and full validation tests.

Execute test drives to validate end-user features.

Perform in-vehicle calibration and testing of collision mitigation and automated park assist modules, including simulation of vehicle motion and trajectories.

Write and execute automated scripts for bench-level testing, with AI usage for automation considered a plus.

Work with various vehicle systems, including ABS, EPAS, EPS, and ECU.

Report issues via defect management tools such as Jira or Codebeamer.

Support the distribution and setup of the System Test Environment.
