Responsibilities

  • Lead daily pre-merge testing, simulation-failure triage, task prioritization, team execution, and closure of critical issues.
  • Analyze logs, traces, metrics, videos, and state transitions to identify root causes across software, simulation, configuration, infrastructure, analyzer, and evaluator failures.
  • Use source-control history, failure patterns, signal evidence, and code-impact analysis to bisect regressions and identify culprit changelists.
  • Develop Python automation for log analysis, failure classification, regression isolation, automated bisection, reporting, signal processing, visualization, debugging, and validation.
  • Apply agentic AI workflows to correlate diagnostic evidence, identify patterns, summarize failures, recommend investigation paths, and improve triage efficiency.
  • Coordinate with development, systems, simulation, validation, tools, and infrastructure teams; track quality metrics, communicate risks, mentor engineers, and establish consistent triage practices.

Requirements

  • B.Tech. or equivalent degree in computer science, computer engineering, electrical and computer engineering, electrical and electronics engineering, automotive engineering, or a related field.
  • 8–12 years of relevant automotive software testing and validation experience.
  • Strong expertise in HIL/SIL, simulation testing, automotive verification workflows, and root-cause analysis using signals, logs, traces, and system-level evidence.
  • Hands-on validation experience with ADAS and automated-driving functions, including L2, L2PP, and L3/L4 features across perception, localization, prediction, planning, control, and vehicle interfaces.
  • Advanced Python skills for automation, signal processing, data analysis, visualization, debugging, and validation-tool development.
  • Expertise in bisection using Git, CI/CD pipelines, build artifacts, and change history to identify and validate culprit changelists.
  • Demonstrated ability to apply agentic AI workflows.
  • Ability to lead small to mid-sized teams, work with diverse stakeholders, and drive process alignment and continuous improvement.
  • Excellent communication, documentation, and stakeholder-management skills.
  • Preferred experience with AI agents or LLM-based workflows for log analysis, evidence correlation, failure classification, automated bisection, or root-cause investigation.
  • Preferred familiarity with GitLab CI, Jenkins, Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, cloud platforms, and large-scale simulation infrastructure.
  • Working knowledge of Automotive SPICE processes and ISO 26262 functional-safety requirements in ADAS software verification and validation.
  • Understanding of ADAS regulatory standards and consumer-safety assessment protocols, including Euro NCAP, UNECE DCAS, GSR, and applicable UNECE homologation regulations.
  • Prior ownership of a validation, failure-triage, bisection, or pre-merge quality program with end-to-end continuous improvements.
