Job Title: User Perspective Testing Engineer
Location: Chennai
Reports To: Director / Software Validation Manager
Role Summary
The User Perspective Testing Engineer is responsible for validating vehicle software and user-facing features from an end-user experience standpoint rather than solely against customer requirements or specification compliance. This role focuses on evaluating the overall usability, robustness, stability, intuitiveness, and quality perception of the software as experienced by real users.
The engineer acts as the final critical evaluator of the system, aggressively stressing features and vehicle functions under normal, abnormal, and edge-case scenarios to identify usability gaps, performance issues, visual defects, functional inconsistencies, and system stability concerns. This role is expected to provide actionable user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) improvement recommendations to the OEM, ensuring the delivered software provides a seamless and premium user experience.
Key Responsibilities




Perform end-to-end user perspective testing of vehicle software features, evaluating the actual customer experience beyond formal requirement verification.
Validate the usability, intuitiveness, responsiveness, and consistency of infotainment, cluster, connectivity, HMI, and vehicle software functions from the viewpoint of an end user.
Identify gaps between feature implementation and expected customer perception, highlighting opportunities to improve usability, discoverability, and overall user satisfaction.
Execute exploratory testing and real-world user journey evaluations to uncover issues not captured by traditional requirement-based validation activities.
Conduct aggressive stress, endurance, and robustness testing of vehicle software systems by intentionally exercising edge cases, abnormal operating conditions, repeated user actions, and unexpected workflows.
Ensure software is free from critical customer-visible defects including system hangs
