Responsibilities

• Define and own end-to-end validation strategy for cloud-connected telematics systems.
• Develop test plans, test cases, and validation frameworks across cloud sub-system.
• Work closely with internal teams to clarify system requirements and interfaces.
• Support system engineering activities, including cloud architecture and requirements.
• Identify gaps in current validation approach and propose scalable test methodologies.
• Drive issue investigation and root cause analysis across distributed systems.
• Contribute to automation strategy for cloud/system-level validation (APIs, data pipelines, simulations, etc.).
• Provide technical guidance to improve observability, reliability, and performance validation.
• Drive alignment across internal stakeholders to improve system quality, validation processes, and engineering practices.
• Proactively identify process gaps and influence teams to adopt scalable and standardized approaches.
• Facilitate technical discussions and navigate cross-functional dependencies (cloud, device, data, OEM partners).
• Act as a bridge between teams to translate technical challenges into actionable improvements.

Requirements

• 4–7 years of experience with IoT, telematics, and connected systems.
• System engineering, PFMEA, DVP&R, ESW, PLM, with a background in system engineering or system-level validation (not just component testing).

• Industry-standard best practices for cloud validation and automation.
• Strong experience in cloud-based systems such as AWS, Azure, or similar.
• Hands‑on experience with Dynatrace, MongoDB, and ArgoCD.
• Understanding of data flow across connected devices, ECM, and cloud services.
• Ability to translate ambiguous requirements into structured test plans.

Preferred Skills

• Familiarity with CAN/J1939, telematics devices, or vehicle systems.
• Experience with test automation frameworks.
• Knowledge of data pipelines, APIs, and event‑driven architectures.
• Exposure to DevOps or CI/CD pipelines.
• Comfortable challenging existing processes and pushing for continuous improvement.
• Able to balance technical depth with strategic thinking.
