Senior Software Engineer

We are looking for a Vehicle Level Test Engineer - Android Automotive to validate HMI applications and headless services in real vehicle environments and production-like setups.

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

Key Responsibilities

Vehicle-Level Testing & Validation

• Tier-1 components and middleware
• Vehicle signals (CAN/LIN) and telematics systems
• Connected services and dependent applications

Cross-Environment Consistency

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

  Defect Analysis & Reporting

• Identify, log, and track vehicle-level defects and integration issues
• Perform root cause analysis for issues spanning multiple system layers
• Share detailed 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
• Support release validation, sign-off activities, and production readiness checks

  Required Skills & Expertise

  Automotive Testing

• Strong experience in vehicle-level testing and validation
• Experience working with real vehicles, HIL setups, and simulators
• Deep understanding of automotive testing methodologies

  Android Automotive (AAOS)

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

Vehicle Systems & Integration

• Knowledge of vehicle communication protocols (CAN, LIN)
• Experience with vehicle signals, diagnostics, and telematics integration
• Familiarity with Tier-1 ecosystem and middleware integration

Debugging & Analysis

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

Test Management & Reporting

• Experience in test case management tools (JIRA, TestRail, etc.)
• Strong documentation skills for detailed reporting and traceability

  Good to Have

• Experience with automation tools for vehicle-level validation
• Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and release validation workflows
• Exposure to performance testing in real vehicle environments
• Understanding of OTA updates and release lifecycle in automotive
• Familiarity with multi-display systems (Cluster, IVI, HUD)

  Key Metrics of Success

• High defect detection rate at vehicle integration level
• Minimal production defects post-release
• Consistency across DEV, QA, and PROD environments
• Reduction in integration-related regressions
• Quality and clarity of test reports and insights

  What You’ll Work On

• Validation of Android Automotive IVI systems in real vehicle environments
• End-to-end testing across HMI, system services, and vehicle integrations
• Ensuring production readiness for next-generation connected vehicle platforms
• Collaboration across OEM, Tier-1, and platform teams
