Job description

Purpose
Test Engineer - Autonomous Driving Platform Integration & Validation
We are hiring Test Engineers across Junior and Senior levels to support the validation of autonomous driving systems, which includes motion control, vehicle dynamics, and full autonomous stack integration. The level of responsibility will scale with experience, from test execution support to leading end-to-end validation strategies.
In this role, test engineers will test and validate ADAS and self-driving systems, including perception, planning, control, and actuation, ensuring proper functionality of the end-to-end autonomy stack across both simulation and vehicle environments. The role involves designing and executing test cases for motion control systems, while evaluating vehicle dynamics performance and responsiveness.
Test Engineers will validate and analyze actuation systems including propulsion (powertrain/drive torque), braking, and steering, ensuring coordinated and safe vehicle behavior, and assess the interaction between control algorithms and real vehicle response, including performance under safety-critical and corner-case scenarios.
Additionally, the role includes performing system-level integration testing across sensors, ECUs, and actuators, validating sensor fusion outputs and downstream control decisions. Engineers will debug issues across software, hardware, and vehicle integration layers while ensuring traceability between requirements through end-end validation. Test Engineers will also conduct scenario-based validation for autonomous systems and correlate results between simulation environments and vehicle-level testing to ensure consistency, accuracy, and real-world performance alignment.
Essential Functions
  • Learn customer test objectives, ensure test objectives are well defined, and communicate objectives to test teams
  • Design test plans and verification strategies based on system requirements and customers' needs
  • Identify missing or untestable requirements, gaps in design and incomplete implementation
  • Analyze data and interpret results
  • Debug and resolve test-related failures and contribute to the root cause analysis of system-related failures
  • Manage project priorities, define tasks, and coordinate activities, deliverables, schedules
  • Develop novel approaches to evaluate the system
  • Develop and improve processes that increase operational efficiency of test execution
  • Communicate results and test status and provide concise test reports
  • Provide technical guidance to the test team
  • Apply policies, procedures, standards, code of conduct throughout including taking responsibility for the safety of self and others during testing
  • Communicate test plans, proposals, non-conformances, and project status to internal and external customers
