Job description

Job title : Automotive Test Case Design Engineer

Location : Bangalore

Experience : 4 - 7 Years

Overview

We are looking for an experienced Automotive Test Case Design & Requirements Analysis Engineer with strong expertise in positive and negative test case design, functional safety (ISO 26262), and automotive diagnostics (UDS/OBD). The ideal candidate should be skilled in interpreting requirements, creating robust test scenarios, ensuring ASPICE compliance, and maintaining complete traceability. Hands-on experience with IBM DOORS and diagnostic tools is essential.

Key Responsibilities

• Test Case Design (Positive & Negative Testing)
• Develop detailed positive and negative test cases based on system, software, and safety requirements.
• Translate high-level requirements into executable test scenarios with focus on edge cases, boundary conditions, and fault behavior.
• Ensure test cases comply with internal processes, V-Model, and ASPICE documentation guidelines.
• Functional Safety (FuSi) Test Design
• Interpret functional safety requirements (ISO 26262) and design safety-related tests.
• Create test cases for safety mechanisms, fault detection/handling, and safe-state transitions.
• Validate diagnostic coverage and safety goals using negative testing techniques.
• Diagnostic System Integration
• Design test cases aligned with vehicle diagnostic architecture (UDS, OBD, fault memory).
• Validate DTC behavior, diagnostic communication, fallback strategies, and error reaction flows.
• Ensure compliance with ISO 14229, ISO 15031, and related diagnostic standards.
• Requirements Analysis & Traceability
• Analyze system, software, and safety requirements from DOORS/DOORS Next.
• Identify and resolve gaps or ambiguities in requirements.
• Maintain complete bidirectional traceability between requirements, test cases, defects, and results.
• ASPICE & Process Compliance
• Prepare ASPICE-compliant test design documents (SWE.4–SWE.6).
• Support internal and external audits related to FuSi, ASPICE, or quality processes.
• Create documentation for design reviews, release readiness, and milestone gates.

Technical Skills Required

Test Design & Analysis

• Strong expertise in positive/negative testing, boundary value analysis, failure injection, and fault-based validation.
• Experience designing system-level, integration-level, and component-level test cases.

Automotive Diagnostics

• Hands-on knowledge of UDS services (Security Access, DTC handling, Read/Write Data, Routine Control, etc.).
• Understanding of DTC behavior, event memory, and OBD compliance.
• Experience with tools such as CANoe, CANalyzer, dSPACE, ETAS INCA (preferred).

Requirements & Modeling Tools

• Strong experience with IBM DOORS / DOORS Next.
• Familiarity with system/diagnostic architecture tools like PREEvision, Cameo (nice to have).

Automotive Standards

• ISO 26262 Functional Safety
• Automotive SPICE (SWE.1–SWE.6)
• UDS/OBD diagnostic standards
• V-Model development methodology

Soft Skills
