Manager - E&E Validation Responsibilities & Key Deliverables

Job Purpose The role focuses on System level validation of high-voltage (HV) and low-voltage (LV) electrical systems, ePowertrain, charging systems, diagnostics, controls, and software features under laboratory and real-world operating conditions. Testing on Labcar, HIL platform, Motor Dyno.

Component & System Software Validation

• Validate electrical and ePowertrain functions at the component, system, and LabCar levels.
• Validate component-level functions of the BMS, VCU, Telematics System, and Instrument Cluster.
• Validate HV system functions, diagnostics, and system interfaces for the LMM vehicle portfolio.
• Develop and maintain LabCars for all vehicle variants.
• Develop HIL (dSPACE) systems and the corresponding modular infrastructure.

HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) & LabCar Testing

• Develop test scripts based on system-level test cases using a test management tool (e.g., AutomationDesk).
• Develop test cases in alignment with System Integration and cross-functional teams, and enhance the quality of both positive and negative test cases.
• Automate test scripts to execute test campaigns overnight and during weekends.
• Integrate plant models by mapping the appropriate I/Os and configuring the HIL system.
• Execute test cases covering electric vehicle functions, diagnostics, network management, telematics, and related features.
• Log and analyze test data using tools such as Vector CANoe.
• Report issues to the System Integration and Vehicle Validation teams.
• Perform FLA (First-Level Analysis) and root-cause analysis using test log data.
• Develop visually appealing GUIs for multiple systems and generate test triggers using tools such as ControlDesk.
• Generate and manage test reports, ensuring 100% requirements coverage.
• Drive test campaigns across multiple test platforms, ensure 24/7 HIL operational efficiency, identify and reproduce failures, and automate test cases.

Leadership & Reporting

• Accountable for software validation delivery on LabCar and HIL platforms.
• Lead a team of 2-3 contract employees and drive team productivity.
• Publish daily dashboards and software validation status reports.

Vehicle Function Validation

• Develop and execute validation plans for vehicle functions.
• Verify drive modes, reverse mode, limp-home mode, diagnostics, and warning strategies.
• Validate instrument cluster indications and driver information messages.
• Perform fault injection testing and verify fail-safe responses.
• Execute feature validation under varying environmental and operating conditions.

Diagnostics & Troubleshooting

• Use CAN tools to monitor vehicle communication networks.
• Analyze CAN and diagnostic data logs.
• Debug vehicle issues and coordinate with design teams to perform root-cause analysis.
• Raise, track, and validate the closure of defects using issue management systems.
