Jobbeschreibung

Job Title: Testing & Validation (Lead)
Company: Ultraviolette Automotive Pvt. Ltd.
Location: Bengaluru
Function: Product Engineering, Validation

Roles and Responsibilities

1. Component testing:
   
   
   
   1. Electronics and Electrical Sub-Systems: Powertrain and power electronics, energy storage, vehicle controls, charging, and wiring/connectivity. Objective: validate each sub-system against spec for electrical performance, thermal behaviour, EMI/EMC, vibration, ingress and life cycle before vehicle integration.
   
   
   2. Mechanical Sub-Systems: Chassis, suspension, brakes, wheels, structural and body parts, fasteners and thermal/cooling hardware. Objective: validate strength, fatigue, stiffness, vibration, corrosion and durability against spec before vehicle integration.
   
   
   
   


2. Vehicle Testing: Performance, range and energy consumption, thermal management and deration, braking, NVH, EMI/EMC, charging, and software/calibration validation. Objective: confirm the integrated vehicle meets performance, safety and rider-experience targets, and verify every software release before it reaches the field.


3. Vehicle Dynamics: Ride, handling, stability, braking dynamics, suspension and tyre tuning, traction and rider-aid calibration. Objective: define and verify dynamic targets, and ensure the bike delivers a consistent, confidence-inspiring ride across load, surface and speed conditions.


4. EVT and PVT: Engineering Validation Test builds to verify design intent, and Production Validation Test builds to verify that the production line, tooling and supplier parts deliver the same quality at rate. Objective: clear build-level exit criteria, catch design and process issues before SOP, and ensure a clean handover from prototype to production.


5. On-Road Durability and Fleet Validation: Proving ground, public road and fleet testing in extreme conditions (heat, cold, high altitude, rain, dust, heavy traffic). Objective: accumulate representative mileage quickly, surface failures early, and build reliability and warranty confidence before launch.


6. Reliability Testing: Accelerated life tests, HALT/HASS, environmental, vibration, thermal cycling and fatigue testing at component, system and vehicle level. Objective: predict life and failure modes, set reliability targets (B10, MTBF) and validate them with statistical rigour.


7. Data Intelligence: Collection, analysis and visualisation of data from R&D testing, fleet and customer vehicles. Builds dashboards, automated reports, anomaly detection and field-to-lab correlation. Objective: turn raw telemetry and test data into clear failure modes, trends and design feedback, and give leadership live visibility of validation status and field health.


8. Test Lab and Infrastructure: Labs, rigs, chambers, dynos, HIL/SIL setups, data acquisition and test automation, including calibration and equipment management. Objective: build repeatable, scalable test capability so validation speed does not depend on headcount, and keep labs audit-ready.


9. Validation Compliance and Homologation: Ensure test plans, processes and reports comply with ISO (ISO 26262, ISO 17025 lab practices, ISO 9001/IATF 16949 as applicable), AIS, ECE and other regulatory standards. Coordinate with certification agencies (ARAI, ICAT and international bodies). Objective: no compliance gaps, no launch delays from certification, and fully traceable test documentation.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and own the end-to-end validation strategy and DVP&R for all vehicle and powertrain programmes.


• Set test plans, acceptance criteria and release gates for components, EVT/PVT builds, vehicles and software.


• Lead, mentor and build team leads and engineers across all functions above.


• Plan lab, vehicle and track capacity, and own the testing budget and capex.


• Run supplier validation and PPAP readiness with sourcing and quality.


• Drive structured failure analysis (RCA, 8D, DFMEA feedback) and make sure issues reach design with data.


• Own the durability and reliability roadmap, including fleet size, mileage targets and field-feedback loops.


• Build the data intelligence platform so test and customer data drive design and quality decisions.


• Ensure ISO and regulatory compliance across labs, processes and documentation.


• Report validation status, risks and readiness to leadership on a regular cadence.

Requirements

• 15+ years in automotive or two-wheeler testing and validation, with at least 5 years leading multi-team organisations.


• Strong grounding in EV powertrain testing (battery, motor, controller) and full-vehicle validation, including vehicle dynamics.


• Proven experience taking vehicles through EVT, PVT, durability and homologation to launch.


• Working knowledge of ISO 26262, ISO 17025, AIS/ECE standards, DFMEA/DVP&R and reliability methods.


• Experience with test automation, HIL and data-driven analysis and dashboards.


• Ability to challenge design and supplier decisions with evidence.


• B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical, Electrical, Automotive or a related field. M.Tech is a plus.
