The Qualification Testing: Hybrid & PMBD ICE (QTHP) team operates in a fast-paced, dynamic environment within the Vehicle & Propulsion Controls department. Our mission is to isolate software bugs in electrified and ICE powertrains, ensuring the delivery of robust, high-quality software to the development fleet.
The Controls Validation Engineer role is ideal for self-starters eager to develop a deep understanding of powertrain control subsystems and contribute to delivering world-class vehicles.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop and execute Design Verification Plans (DVPs) for propulsion system requirements testing.
- Critically evaluate requirements, design DVPs, and conduct testing.
- Determine the appropriate testing environment for each test case (e.g., HIL or vehicle).
- Support OBD diagnostic validation testing.
- Perform issue pre-analysis to identify potential root causes and solutions.
- Identify critical and edge-case maneuvers to expose potential failures.
- Conduct testing on propulsion system architectures using Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and vehicles.
This role offers a unique opportunity to work at the forefront of powertrain software validation, ensuring the performance and reliability of cutting-edge vehicle technology.
