Senior Software Engineer

We are looking for aVehicle Level Test Engineer – Android Automotive to validateHMI applications and headless services inreal vehicle environments and production-like setups.

This role is critical in ensuring that features validated in controlled environments perform consistently when integrated with thefull vehicle ecosystem, including Tier-1 systems, vehicle signals, and connected services. You will focus onend-to-end validation, system stability, and cross-application impact analysis to ensure production readiness.

Key Responsibilities

Vehicle-Level Testing & Validation

• Perform rigorous testing ofAndroid Automotive HMI applications and headless services on:
• • Actual vehicles
  • Vehicle simulators / HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) setups
• Validate real-world scenarios including:
• • Driving conditions
  • Network variability (offline/online transitions)
  • Vehicle state changes (ignition, charging, etc.)

Test Case Design & Coverage

• Design and executedetailed test cases covering:
• • Functional scenarios
  • Non-functional scenarios (performance, stability, reliability)
  • Edge cases across vehicle conditions and user interactions
• Ensurecomprehensive coverage across IVI features and ecosystem integrations

Ecosystem & Integration Validation

• Validate integration with:
• • Tier-1 components and middleware
  • Vehicle signals (CAN/LIN) and telematics systems
  • Connected services and dependent applications
• Ensure that new features or fixesdo not break existing applications or system behavior

Cross-Environment Consistency

• Compare and validate builds across:
• • Development (DEV)
  • Quality Assurance (QA)
  • Production (PROD)
• Ensurezero or minimal delta between standalone testing and integrated Tier-1 environments
• Identify and resolve discrepancies across environments

Defect Analysis & Reporting

• Identify, log, and trackvehicle-level defects and integration issues
• Performroot cause analysis for issues spanning multiple system layers
• Sharedetailed test reports including:
• • Test coverage and execution status
  • Defect trends and severity
  • Integration and performance observations

Collaboration & Validation Support

• Work closely with:
• • HMI developers and QA teams
  • Android framework and platform teams
  • Tier-1 suppliers and integration partners
• Supportrelease validation, sign-off activities, and production readiness checks

Required Skills & Expertise

Automotive Testing

• Strong experience invehicle-level testing and validation
• Experience working withreal vehicles, HIL setups, and simulators
• Deep understanding ofautomotive testing methodologies

Android Automotive (AAOS)

• Experience testingAndroid Automotive HMI and IVI systems
• Understanding of:
• • System services and headless applications
  • Multi-layer architecture (App → Framework → HAL)

Vehicle Systems & Integration

• Knowledge ofvehicle communication protocols (CAN, LIN)
• Experience withvehicle signals, diagnostics, and telematics integration
• Familiarity withTier-1 ecosystem and middleware integration

Debugging & Analysis

• Strong debugging skills using:
• • ADB, Logcat, Dumpsys
• Ability to analyzecross-layer issues involving apps, framework, and vehicle systems

Test Management & Reporting

• Experience intest case management tools (JIRA, TestRail, etc.)
• Strong documentation skills fordetailed reporting and traceability

Good to Have

• Experience withautomation tools for vehicle-level validation
• Knowledge ofCI/CD pipelines and release validation workflows
• Exposure toperformance testing in real vehicle environments
• Understanding ofOTA updates and release lifecycle in automotive
• Familiarity withmulti-display systems (Cluster, IVI, HUD)

Key Metrics of Success

• Highdefect detection rate at vehicle integration level
• Minimalproduction defects post-release
• Consistency acrossDEV, QA, and PROD environments
• Reduction inintegration-related regressions
• Quality and clarity oftest reports and insights

What You’ll Work On

• Validation ofAndroid Automotive IVI systems in real vehicle environments
• End-to-end testing acrossHMI, system services, and vehicle integrations
• Ensuring production readiness fornext-generation connected vehicle platforms
• Collaboration acrossOEM, Tier-1, and platform teams
