Senior Functional Safety Test Automation Engineer

Rivian VW Group; Irvine (CA); Presencial; USD 120.000 - 170.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Rivian and Volkswagen Group Technologies seeks a role central to proving safety mechanisms across RVT vehicle programs. You will design and scale automated test frameworks, implement fault-injection strategies on LabCar, vehicle, and HIL setups, and build reporting pipelines to show traceability of safety requirements.

You will work with FuSa engineers and cross‑functional teams to align tests with release schedules.

Formación

• Experience in automotive test automation or V&V.
• Strong scripting in Python, CAPL, or similar.
• Hands-on with HIL, LabCar, or vehicle test environments.
• Familiarity with ISO 26262 and safety verification.

Responsabilidades

• Design, develop, and maintain automated test frameworks and scripts for verification and validation of functional safety mechanisms at the system integration level.
• Implement fault injection test strategies on LabCar, vehicle, and integrated HIL setups to provide end-to-end evidence that safety mechanisms operate as intended.
• Support automated testing for steer-by-wire and brake-by-wire systems on DynoHIL test environments.
• Collaborate with functional safety engineers across multiple domains (Dynamics, Body, Thermal, Energy, ADAS, Core) to understand safety mechanism intent, ASIL classifications, and safety metric targets.
• Build and maintain automated reporting pipelines that demonstrate requirement-level test coverage and traceability for safety mechanisms.
• Continuously improve test automation coverage and execution efficiency to support a fast software release cadence across multiple programs.
• Perform data analysis on test results, identify anomalies, and provide technical recommendations to functional safety engineering teams.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams — including SW FuSa, HW FuSa, systems engineering, SW development, and program management — to align test schedules against software releases and program milestones.
• Contribute to the definition of integration test strategies and toolchain selection as the in-house test automation capability scales.
