Job Description

As an Integration-Level Test & Validation Engineer, you will be responsible for validating High Voltage (HV) Powertrain and Charging systems at system level, ensuring correct interaction between software, hardware, and vehicle-level functions.

The role focuses on system integration, HIL testing, and laboratory-based validation, bridging component behaviour with vehicle-level performance.

You will work closely with system engineers, software developers, and calibration teams to verify HV system functionality, robustness, and regulatory compliance across HEV, PHEV, and BEV architectures.

Activities include:

• Plan and execute system-level test and validation activities for HV powertrain and charging systems
• Validate interaction between HV subsystems such as:

o Energy Management

o Thermal Management

o Charging Control (AC/DC, onboard charger, charging communication)

o Torque Management

o High Voltage Safety and diagnostics

• Develop test specifications and test cases derived from system and functional requirements

• Perform testing using HIL platforms and system test benches

• Support integration testing, identifying interface issues between ECUs, software, and hardware

• Analyse measurement data and logs to:

o Assess functional behaviour

o Identify root causes of failures

o Verify compliance with system requirements

• Produce clear test reports and validation documentation

• Support issue tracking, troubleshooting, and resolution in collaboration with system, software, and hardware teams

• Contribute to continuous improvement of test methods, automation strategies, and test coverage
• Support functional calibration activities when required

The Company is open to considering alternative engagement arrangements, including a self-employed basis, subject to mutual agreement.

Requirements

• Engineering degree 2:1 or above
• 5 Years experience or above in similar role
• Experience in HV system and related regulations
• Experience in HEV, PHEV or BEV architectures
• Expert in one or more of the HV system functions including Energy management, Thermal management, Charging control, Torque management and High voltage safety
• Create test specifications based on HV system requirements
• Execute test cases in vehicle and test benches
• Analyse measurements and create test reports
• Support trouble shooting and issue management
• Experience in functional calibration is a plus
• Experience in test case automation on test benches is a plus
• Experience in big data analysis
• Ability to overcome cultural barriers
• Demonstrate strong customer, team & supplier management skills
• An ability to work effectively and calmly under pressure and to manage time effectively under tight and rigid deadlines
