Senior Powertrain Systems Validation Engineer

The Qualification Testing (ICE and BEV) team operates within the Vehicle & Propulsion Controls organization and is responsible for ensuring validation coverage, software quality, and diagnostic robustness across propulsion programs.

The Senior Powertrain Systems Validation Engineer plays a key technical role in developing and executing validation activities, supporting validation strategy, and ensuring high‑quality software delivery. This role works closely with the Validation Project Lead to drive comprehensive testing, issue resolution, and system‑level validation for propulsion control systems.

Key Responsibilities:

Develop and execute Design Verification Plans (DVPs) for propulsion system requirements, ensuring thorough validation coverage at the subsystem and system level

Critically evaluate requirements for testability, completeness, and potential gaps, and support refinement efforts with engineering stakeholders

Define and implement test strategies for assigned systems, including identification of critical scenarios, edge‑case maneuvers, and failure modes

Determine and execute validation activities using appropriate environments (HIL, vehicle, SIL, bench) based on test objectives

Conduct validation testing across propulsion architectures using HIL and vehicle platforms, ensuring accurate and repeatable results

Perform detailed issue investigation and pre‑analysis, supporting efficient root cause identification and resolution

Collaborate cross‑functionally with Controls, Diagnostics, Calibration, and Validation teams to resolve issues and improve system performance

Support validation status tracking by providing clear reporting on test coverage, results, and technical risks

Contribute to continuous improvement of validation methodologies, DVP quality, and test efficiency
