INDUSTRY:Automotive
Become part of an iconic brand that is set to revolutionize the electric pick-up truck & rugged SUV marketplace by achieving the following:
- Own the definition and maintenance of testable OBD requirements aligned with regulatory expectations and system-level diagnostic concepts across software-defined vehicle architecture
- Translate OBD system requirements into clear validation criteria acceptance conditions and structured test specifications ensuring completeness consistency and auditability
- Develop and govern test concepts for OBD monitors readiness behavior MIL activation DTC setting and clearing logic fault handling and diagnostic communication behavior
- Ensure full traceability from requirements to validation activities including test cases execution results issue tracking and release evidence
- Partner closely with HIL engineers validation teams calibration engineers software developers systems engineers and compliance stakeholders to align on test scope coverage execution strategy and closure priorities
- Lead the development and continuous improvement of HIL SIL MIL and vehicle-level OBD test scenarios including fault injection edge cases degraded modes recovery behavior and regulatory drive cycle coverage
- Review and assess diagnostic implementations against requirements to ensure correct monitor execution enable conditions reaction behavior and expected system performance under all relevant operating conditions
- Analyze test results diagnostic traces logs and measurement data to identify gaps inconsistencies false detections missing coverage or non-compliant behavior and drive structured root cause analysis and resolution
- Ensure OBD validation is robust across nominal operation boundary conditions degraded states startup behavior recovery paths and production-relevant use cases
- Support compliance readiness and certification activities by contributing to validation reports readiness assessments compliance documentation and technical evidence packages for internal and external reviews
- Coordinate validation activities across prototype pre-production and serial development phases including planning execution tracking status reporting and risk escalation
- Work with systems and architecture teams to ensure OBD requirements are designed for testability scalability and efficient validation execution within SDV framework
- Drive continuous improvement of test methods validation processes requirement quality and diagnostic verification strategies to improve engineering efficiency and technical robustness
- Support issue resolution by tracing faults and failures back to requirement weaknesses incorrect assumptions software issues monitor configuration gaps or incomplete validation coverage
- Mentor engineers and contribute to best practices for OBD validation methodology requirement quality and compliance-focused engineering execution
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelors degree
- 8 years of experiencein automotive diagnostics validation systems engineering or requirements engineering with strong focus onOBD testing verification and compliance
- Proven experience definingtestable OBD requirementsand translating regulatory and system concepts into robust validation strategies test specifications and objective pass/fail criteria
- Deep understanding ofOBDII regulations diagnostic monitor execution DTC behavior readiness states MIL logic fault detection concepts and emissions-related validation expectations
- Strong experience converting regulatory and system requirements intoclear validation plans monitor-specific test cases acceptance criteria and compliance evidence
- Hands-on experience withHIL SIL MIL and vehicle-level validation including development of automated and manually executed diagnostic test scenarios
- Strong proficiency with engineering and validation tools such asMATLAB/Simulink ETAS INCA CANoe/CANalyzer CANape and data analysis environments
- Good understanding ofUDS diagnostics freeze frame handling DTC setting/clearing behavior fault memory management and diagnostic communication over CAN and Ethernet
- Experience with requirements and traceability tools such asJama DOORS or Polarion including linking requirements to test cases execution results and release evidence
- Strong analytical and debugging skills with the ability to interpretmeasurement data logs (MDF/BLF) diagnostic traces and test reportsand convert findings into structured issue resolution
- Ability to read and understandSimulink models control logic software behavior system architectures and diagnostic specifications
- Demonstrated ability to work across systems engineering calibration software HIL vehicle validation diagnostics and compliance teams in a global and cross-functional development environment
- Strong ownership structured problem solving technical rigor and communication skills with the ability to drive alignment and closure without direct authority
- Motivated senior engineer who wants to improve therobustness maturity and compliance readinessof next-generation diagnostic systems through disciplined requirements definition and validation execution
