Job Description:

Role Overview:

We are looking for a skilled Embedded Test Lead (8+ years of experience) to join our ADAS Team. The role involves designing, developing, and executing comprehensive software and system validation tests for automotive systems. The primary focus is on developing system test cases using Python (EasyEval test environment) for SW validation, including scenario authoring and KPI-based performance testing. Experience with SW component verification using C++ test cases is a valuable plus. Prior experience leading a test team is a strong advantage.

Key Responsibilities

System Testing & Validation

• Develop Python test scripts for end-to-end component validation using scenario-based testing in the EasyEval (pytest) test environment

• Create test data pipelines for preprocessing, simulation replay, and analysis using pytest, pandas, numpy

• Identify gaps in existing test coverage and identify new test recording scenarios or author new simulation scenarios (e.g., using IPG CarMaker, OpenSCENARIO/OpenDRIVE) when a suitable scenario is not already available, then integrate them into the Python-based test cases

•Define and implement KPI test cases to evaluate ADAS algorithm performance (e.g., detection/classification accuracy, false positive/negative rates, latency) against requirements

• Collaborate with the Data Analytics team to feed KPI test results into shared dashboards, ensuring results are correctly reported and visualized for stakeholders

SW Testing & Verification (Nice to have)

• Develop and maintain SW test cases in C++ for verifying runnable components

• Implement unit and verification tests using Google Test/Mock targeting branch coverage, decision coverage, and quality gates

• Debug test failures using GDB, trace logs, and Linux debugging tools

Common Responsibilities:

• Perform root cause analysis and collaborate with developers for defect resolution

• Maintain CI/CD test pipelines and quality gates

• Analyze test reports with coverage metrics and quality assessments from CI/CD pipelines

• Guide and mentor team members on test design, scripting standards, and best practices

Technical Expertise

• Strong Python skills for test automation and data analysis (pytest, pandas, numpy)

• Experience with IPG CarMaker (or equivalent vehicle/driving simulation tools) for building and running scenario-based system tests

• Experience with simulation environments and scenario-based testing for ADAS/AD systems, including authoring new scenarios (OpenSCENARIO/OpenDRIVE or CarMaker native format) to close test coverage gaps

• Experience defining and validating KPI metrics for ADAS algorithms (accuracy, FP/FN rate, latency) and translating results into actionable test reports

• Proficiency with Linux, shell scripting, Bazel, Git, and CI/CD pipelines

• Familiarity with Docker and containerized test environments

• Experience with requirements management tools (Codebeamer, JIRA, TestRail)

• Experience with debugging tools (GDB, Valgrind) and performance analysis

• Proficient in C++14/17 (STL, templates, smart pointers), Google Test/Mock, and code coverage analysis (line, branch, decision coverage) is a plus, not required

Competencies & Skills

• Deep understanding of V-Model methodology with focus on validation activities

• Strong knowledge of test design techniques and validation strategies

• Ability to translate system/SW requirements into executable test cases and scenarios, including designing new scenarios from scratch when none exist

• Understanding of ISO 26262 and safety-critical testing strategies

• Comfortable with Git workflows, branching strategies, and thorough code review practices

• Ability to coordinate cross-functionally with data analytics teams to align on KPI definitions and reporting needs

Soft Skills

• Strong analytical mindset with attention to detail and problem-solving abilities • Excellent communication skills for cross-functional collaboration

• Self-motivated team player who works independently and is quality-focused with a commitment to continuous improvement

• Demonstrated leadership presence, able to guide and support fellow test engineers

Nice to Have

• C++14/17 skills and experience writing SW component verification tests with Google Test/Mock (branch/decision coverage)

• Prior experience leading a test team (people management: planning, mentoring, performance guidance) is a strong advantage

• Familiarity with dashboarding/reporting tools used by data analytics teams (e.g., Power BI, Grafana) to effectively collaborate on KPI visualization

• Data analytics skills (basic statistical analysis, data wrangling) to better partner with the analytics team • Knowledge of MISRA C++ coding standards

• Experience with code coverage tools and static analysis tools

• Experience with VW.os platform or AOS-based systems

• Knowledge of ADAS/AD domains, especially Situation Interpretation, is a major advantage

• Understanding of ASIL classification and functional safety

• Background in agile testing methodologies
