• Identify required test environments (HIL, SIL, Vehicle, Proving Ground, Simulation).

2. Execution & Leadership

• Lead and coordinate a team of ADAS test engineers, drivers, and technicians.
• Oversee day-to-day test execution for real-world driving, proving ground tests, and simulation-based validation.
• Ensure test readiness: vehicles, instrumentation, software builds, calibration files, test equipment.

3. Technical Responsibilities

• Validate ADAS functions: ACC, LCA, AEB, ISA, BSD, Traffic Jam Assist, Highway Assist, etc.
• Manage sensor testing for cameras, radar and fusion modules.
• Analyse test logs using tools like CANalyzer, CANoe, ADTF, MATLAB, CarSim, IPG Carmaker.
• Ensure compliance with standards (ISO 26262, ISO 21448 SOTIF, NCAP protocols).

4. Issue Tracking & Reporting

• Identify defects and raise issues in Jira or equivalent systems.
• Drive root-cause analysis with system, software, and algorithm teams.
• Prepare test reports, dashboards, KPIs, and present results to stakeholders.

5. Cross-functional Collaboration

• Work closely with system engineers, ADAS algorithm teams, hardware engineers, software developers, and functional safety teams.
• Support homologation and certification tests (e.g., Euro NCAP, NHTSA).
• Coordinate with external partners, proving grounds, and suppliers as needed.

Qualifications: 

• Bachelor’s/Master’s in Electrical/Electronics, Embedded Systems, Mechatronics, or related. 
• 12+ years experience in system testing/validation of embedded ECUs (automotive/industrial). 
• Strong understanding of ADAS systems
• ECU testing lifecycle, test design techniques, and defect management
• Hands-on experience with at least one: 
• HIL platforms (dSPACE, NI, Vector, etc.)
• Bench testing with inverter + motor setups and measurement equipment
• Comfortable with automotive networks & tools: 
• CAN/LIN/Ethernet, UDS diagnostics, CANoe/CANalyzer (or equivalent)
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration.
• Ability to manage multiple integration tasks across vehicle programs.
• Detail-oriented with a focus on safety, performance, and reliability.
• Passion for electrification and automotive innovation.
• Ability to manage multiple vehicle programs and integration tasks simultaneously.
