Job Summary

We are looking for a talented and hands-on Vehicle Integration & Validation Engineer to strengthen our Vehicle Electronics and Software team in the development of high-performance vehicles.

In this role, you will take ownership of key activities across vehicle-level electronics integration, testing and validation, software platform releases, and software update management. You will help establish and continuously improve the processes, tools, and infrastructure required to integrate complex electronic systems into a reliable, fully functioning vehicle.

Working closely with internal engineering teams and external suppliers, you will ensure that electronic systems and software components are integrated, verified, and released in a controlled and traceable manner throughout the vehicle development lifecycle.

This is an opportunity to make a tangible contribution to the development of an exclusive, high-performance vehicle, combining system-level engineering with practical implementation and in-vehicle testing.

Key Responsibilities

• Vehicle Software Integration & Release Management: Define and continuously improve software delivery and integration processes for internal teams and external suppliers. Manage vehicle-level software platforms, configurations, compatibility, and release readiness against vehicle development milestones and the DVP plan.
• Vehicle Networking & Diagnostics: Maintain and optimise vehicle communication networks, CAN databases (DBC), diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), and vehicle Error & Warning definitions, ensuring consistency across vehicle systems.
• Testing & Validation: Define testing strategies and release criteria for vehicle-level software platforms. Establish and maintain testing infrastructure, including HiL systems and laboratory or vehicle test environments. Develop and validate MATLAB/Simulink models, execute verification activities, perform in-vehicle testing, and manage test data and results. Support continuous improvement, tools and methodologies to enhance throughput and quality.
  Ensure requirements traceability and high-quality engineering documentation. Drive improvements in integration processes, testing methodologies, tools, and automation to enhance development efficiency and software quality.HiL & LabCar Ownership: Define and establish the HiL and labcar infrastructure, aligned with vehicle development and validation needs. Ensure the continuous reliability, and accuracy of test environments through regular maintenance, calibration, configuration management, and continuous improvement. Maintain test environment configurations, models, datasets, and technical documentation, implementing appropriate test coverage, improving automation, and enhancing testing efficiency in line with evolving vehicle requirements.
• Software Update Management: Define and implement software update processes and supporting infrastructure for vehicle development and after-sales, addressing software compatibility, configuration traceability, cybersecurity, and IT infrastructure requirements.

Qualifications

• Degree in Engineering i.e. Electrical, Electronics, Automotive, Software or a comparable discipline.
• Relevant experience in automotive electronics, embedded software integration, and vehicle-level testing and validation.
• Strong understanding of vehicle E/E architectures, CAN communication, DBC files, and automotive diagnostics.
• Experience with software integration & platform management, configuration management, release processes, and requirements-based verification.
• Experience with software update management and automotive standards
• Experience in low-volume, premium, performance, or specialist automotive development.
• Practical knowledge of HiL testing, laboratory environments, and in-vehicle testing.
• Experience in test automation and engineering lifecycle tools.
• Experience with MATLAB/Simulink or comparable modelling and simulation tools.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a structured, pragmatic, and hands-on approach.
• Ability to work independently, take ownership of deliverables, and collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams and external suppliers.
