  • Validate technologies including 5G (SA/NSA), LTE, Wi-Fi, eSIM, IMS, and NTN
  • Ensure seamless system-of-systems communication (device ↔ modem/ecu ↔ vehicle ↔ cloud)

Test Strategy, Design & Execution - 25%
  • Design and execute comprehensive test plans covering functional, protocol, regression, and black-box testing
  • Validate features such as eSIM, roaming, emergency services (eCall), and carrier aggregation
  • Ensure coverage of networking protocols (TCP/IP, MQTT, IMS signaling, etc.)

Performance, Stability & Field Validation - 20%
  • Conduct stability, MTBF, and performance testing
  • Execute drive tests to validate real-world scenarios (handover, weak/no signal, roaming)
  • Analyze KPIs such as throughput, latency, reliability, and power consumption
  • Lead and coordinate incident response for high-severity events
  • Conduct post-incident reviews and drive long-term remediation and resilience improvements

Automation, Debugging & Continuous Integration - 15%
  • Develop automation scripts using Python and Robot Framework
  • Integrate test suites into CI/CD pipelines and support SiL/HiL environments
  • Perform log analysis and root cause investigation using tools like QXDM, Wireshark, adb

Diagnostics, Quality Assurance & Collaboration - 10%
  • Perform ECU diagnostics and flashing using tools like ODIS; validate CAN/UDS communication
  • Manage defect lifecycle using JIRA/ALM tools and ensure release quality
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams and document test results, procedures, and best practices

Qualification requirements
