You will collaborate closely with system engineers, software developers, and test automation validation engineers.

Key responsibilities:
* Perform component-level validation of Telematics ECUs.
* Develop and maintain test strategy, test plans, and validation specifications for telematics features.
* Execute manual and automated test cases on HiL/SiL benches.
* Validate connectivity features (LTE/5G, GNSS, NFC, Telematcis apps,Wi-Fi, V2X, eCall, OTA, etc.).
* Conduct defect analysis, root cause identification, and issue reporting in collaboration with development teams.
* Ensure traceability between requirements, test cases, and validation results.
* Support test automation development and contribute to continuous improvement of validation frameworks.
* Participate in peer reviews of test cases, test reports, and validation deliverables.
* Provide test execution reports, KPIs, and validation status to project stakeholders.
* Work cross-functionally with system validation, DevOps, and integration teams for E2E validation alignment.

Preferred Skills:
* Hands-on experience in automotive ECU validation (preferably telematics/infotainment).
* Knowledge of automotive communication protocols (CAN, Ethernet, UDS/DOIP).
* Experience with validation tools: ECU-Test, CANoe, Dspace, Vector tools, TeamCity, RQM, RTC, DNG, etc.
* Linux commands
* Hands on experience with Protocols like MQTT, LWM2M
* Understanding of Telematics features like remote operations, stolen vehicle, device management, drive alerts etc.
* Test automation (Python or other scripting language)
* Familiarity with cellular network technologies (2G/3G/4G/5G), GNSS, and IP protocols.
* Understanding of test automation frameworks and scripting languages (Python, CAPL, etc.).
* Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills.
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills with ability to work in global, cross-functional teams.
* Experience with OTA validation, telematics services, or cloud connectivity.
* Knowledge of security validation (TLS, certificates, authentication).
* Familiarity with Agile methodologies and CI/CD pipelines.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electronics, Electrical, Computer Engineering or related field
• A minimum of 8 years of experience in automotive ECU validation, preferably on Telematics, Connectivity or infotainment ECUs.
