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

This role is critical in ensuring that features validated in controlled settings 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
Perform rigorous testing of Android 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 execute detailed test cases covering:
Functional scenarios
Non-functional scenarios (performance, stability, reliability)




Edge cases across vehicle conditions and user interactions
Ensure comprehensive 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 recent features or fixes do not break existing applications or system behavior

Cross-Workplace 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
