As a Firmware Validation Engineer, you will validate firmware functionality at the component, subsystem and system level, ensuring features operate reliably within the broader vehicle platform. This includes testing embedded applications, control logic, and feature integrations across hardware interfaces, sensors, and actuators to confirm they meet functional, performance, and safety requirements. Your work directly impacts the quality and readiness of customer-facing features by catching issues early, improving integration stability, and ensuring smooth delivery of these features to internal customers. Through close collaboration with firmware developers, systems engineers and cross-functional teams, you will help deliver robust and reliable features to production.
In this role, you will:
Define and develop comprehensive test plans based on requirements, trace testcases to requirements, set pass/fail criteria and refine requirements based on test outcomes
