This role is ideal for an experienced individual contributor who is hands-on with test design and implementation comfortable working in complex distributed systems and passionate about delivering seamless connected-vehicle experiences to our customers.

• Own endtoend verification strategy for key connectivity features (Bluetooth Digital Key telematics network connectivity - WLAN/VLAN) from requirements analysis through release readiness.
• Design implement and maintain automated test suites for invehicle connectivity software and supporting tools with a focus on regression stability and coverage.
• Develop systemlevel and integration test cases that exercise edge cases failure modes roaming/handoff scenarios and interoperability across ECUs mobile devices and backend services.
• Analyze requirements architecture and design documents to identify test gaps and proactively influence design for testability.
• Build and extend test frameworks harnesses and utilities (e.g. Pythonbased automation log parsing simulators stubs/mocks) to increase repeatability and execution speed.
• Perform handson debug and triage of complex issues across Bluetooth/Digital Key telematics control units and network connectivity (WLAN VLAN) layers; capture traces and logs and partner with development to rootcause defects.
• Work with systems cybersecurity and performance teams to ensure connectivity software meets reliability robustness and security expectations.
• Contribute to continuous integration pipelines by integrating automated tests stabilizing nightly/continuous runs and reporting clear quality signals.
• Mentor more junior engineers in test design automation best practices and debugging techniques; help raise the overall bar for connectivity software verification.

• Bachelors degree in Computer Science Computer Engineering Electrical Engineering or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 5 years of professional experience in software verification validation or quality engineering including substantial handson test development.
• Strong experience testing embedded or realtime systems ideally in automotive mobile telecom or networking domains.
• Solid programming/scripting skills for test automation (e.g. Python; familiarity with C/C and/or Java is a plus).
• Practical knowledge of connectivity technologies such as:
  • Digital Key / phoneasakey solutions.
  • Bluetooth/Bluetooth Low Energy (pairing profiles audio/data use cases).
  • Network connectivity fundamentals (WLAN VLAN TCP/UDP routing DNS security protocols).
• Experience designing and executing systemlevel integration and regression tests including negative stress and longrun scenarios.
• Familiarity with test management and defect tracking tools and with CI environments (e.g. Jenkins Gitbased workflows).
• Strong debugging skills using logs traces and protocol analyzers (e.g. Bluetooth sniffers network analyzers CAN tools).
• Proven ability to work crossfunctionally in a fastpaced engineering environment communicate clearly and drive issues to closure.
• Strong ownership mindset attention to detail and a passion for delivering highquality customerfacing features.

• Experience testing invehicle infotainment or automotive connectivity systems (Bluetooth WiFi Digital Key/BLE telematics) across multiple ECU configurations.
• Experience with invehicle networks and automotive protocols (e.g. CAN LIN SOME/IP UDS Ethernet invehicle networking).
• Background in connectivity or infotainment domains within automotive including prior work on telematics or similar connectedservices platforms.
• Handson experience with Digital Key ecosystems (e.g. Bluetooth LE UWB NFC secure storage mobile app integration).
• Experience with:
  • Automated test frameworks and CI/CD (e.g. Jenkins GitHub Actions or similar)
  • Robot Framework or comparable automation stacks for bench and HIL testing.
• Prior mentoring or technical leadership experience within a verification or QA team.
• Background in correlating customer feedback (e.g. JD Power Compass callcenter tickets) with technical issues and feeding those learnings into test design and KPIs.
• Strong data analysis skills (e.g. dashboards metrics) to derive insights from large volumes of test results and logs and to improve test efficiency and effectiveness.
