• Senior Infotainment Validation Engineer: 7–10 years

Role Summary

Independently drive automotive infotainment validation across rig, bench, HIL, and vehicle environments for premium OEM programs. Own assigned features from requirement analysis through test design, execution, defect investigation, fix verification, and release evidence. Quickly ramp up on complex platforms, support issue triage and release readiness, and collaborate effectively with Systems, Software, HMI, Audio, Diagnostics, and Integration teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Own validation of assigned infotainment features, including HMI, Audio, Navigation, Connectivity, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Cameras, Diagnostics, and Vehicle Settings.
• Analyse system and feature requirements, identify ambiguities, and create traceable test cases covering positive, negative, boundary, and integration scenarios.
• Execute smoke, sanity, feature, integration, regression, stability, and release testing on rig, bench, HIL, and vehicle setups.
• Validate end-to-end customer journeys and production-intent software releases across applicable configurations and variants.
• Prepare test data, configure test environments, flash or code ECUs as required, and maintain accurate build and configuration records.
• Monitor and analyse CAN, CAN FD, LIN, and Ethernet communication; execute UDS and DoIP diagnostics; and verify ECU responses.
• Capture and correlate CANoe/CANalyzer traces, Wireshark captures, application logs, and diagnostic data to investigate failures.
• Raise high-quality defects with reproducible steps, expected and actual behaviour, build/configuration details, logs, frequency, and impact.
• Support issue triage, failure reproduction, root cause analysis, defect containment, fix verification, and focused regression until closure.
• Maintain requirement-to-test traceability and update execution status, evidence, and defects in JIRA and Jama/DOORS or equivalent tools.
• Contribute to automation using CAPL, Python, or equivalent technologies, and improve reusable regression assets and reporting utilities.
• Provide clear progress, defect, and risk updates during technical, customer, and release-readiness reviews, including onsite customer-facing discussions in the UK.
• Support peer reviews, guide junior engineers on assigned topics, and escalate blockers or quality risks promptly.

Required Technical Skills

• Strong hands-on experience in automotive infotainment systems and end-to-end feature validation.
• Working knowledge of CAN, CAN FD, LIN, Automotive Ethernet, UDS, and DoIP.
• Hands-on experience with Vector CANoe and CANalyzer; familiarity with CANape, Wireshark, Vehicle Spy, or equivalent tools.
• Experience in ECU communication analysis, diagnostics, log analysis, feature configuration, and software integration validation.
• Experience with JIRA, Jama/DOORS, Confluence, requirement traceability, and DVP execution.
• Working understanding of XML/ARXML, ECU flashing/coding, software build control, and variant configuration.
• Ability to create robust test cases, execute negative and boundary scenarios, and produce objective test evidence.
• Basic to intermediate scripting or test automation experience using CAPL, Python, or an equivalent language.

Root Cause Analysis Expectations

• Reproduce failures systematically and compare successful and failed behaviour under controlled conditions.
• Correlate network traces, diagnostics, application logs, vehicle states, software versions, and test configurations.
• Apply structured techniques such as 5 Why, Fishbone, Fault Tree Analysis, Pareto Analysis, or trend analysis as appropriate.
• Isolate likely software, hardware, network, timing, power-state, integration, and configuration-related causes.
• Document evidence clearly, support ownership decisions, and verify corrective actions through targeted regression.

Validation Experience

• Strong rig-level, bench-level, HIL, and/or vehicle-level validation experience.
• Experience validating complete customer journeys rather than only isolated screens or signals.
• Experience with production-intent software, build/configuration control, and release-quality evidence.
• Ability to work independently on assigned feature scope and support cross-functional defect resolution.
