The people here, engineers, designers, operators, and builders, came from across industries and around the world because they wanted to work on a harder problem. They care deeply about mastering their craft and delivering work they are proud of. 

The Role 

We are seeking a Sr. SW Quality Technical Validation & Data Systems Engineer focused on software issue evaluation, hands-on log and data analysis, signal monitoring, bench-based validation, and targeted product validation support. This role collects and analyzes logs, cloud data, PCAP traces, CAN data, diagnostics, vehicle signals, and validation results to identify issue patterns, support root cause analysis, and provide actionable findings to Software Development and Validation teams. 

• Sr. Software Quality Investigation & Validation Engineer 

  Mission 

  Improve software quality through data-driven issue investigation, technical validation, supplier software quality management, software launch readiness, factory software quality support, and cross-functional engineering collaboration. 

   

  The Role 

  • Investigate software issues using logs, cloud telemetry, PCAP, CAN, diagnostics, DTCs, and vehicle signal data to identify failure patterns, timing relationships, and root-cause candidates. 
  • Perform targeted product validation, regression testing, release validation, and fix verification to confirm software quality and customer-facing behavior. 
  • Analyze vehicle, fleet, and development data to identify emerging software quality risks, recurring defects, and validation gaps. 
  • Develop and maintain signal-monitoring dashboards, quality metrics, and visualization tools using Grafana and related analytics platforms. 
  • Collaborate with Software Development, Validation, Diagnostics, Cloud, Automation, and Quality teams to accelerate issue resolution and improve software quality. 
  • Support Software Safe Launch activities, factory software deployments, ECU flashing validation, OTA release readiness, and production software quality. 
  • Investigate and triage software issues identified through manufacturing operations, factory diagnostics, launch-quality activities, service feedback, and early field observations. 
  • Support supplier software quality management activities including issue tracking, root-cause review, corrective-action validation, software readiness assessments, and release quality improvement. 
  • Partner with internal engineering teams and software suppliers to investigate field and factory issues, validate corrective actions, and drive software quality improvements. 
  • Provide technical evidence, validation findings, quality status, and investigation summaries to support software quality gate reviews, milestone assessments, and release decisions. 
  • Drive improvements in logging, telemetry, diagnostics, monitoring capability, issue detection, and software quality processes. 

   

  What Success Looks Like (First 12 Months) 

  • Increased issue reproduction rate and reduced time-to-root-cause for critical software issues. 
  • Signal-monitoring capability proactively identifies recurring software defects before significant field impact. 
  • Successful support of Software Safe Launch activities with rapid identification and containment of software-related production issues. 
  • Improved software deployment quality through validation of ECU flashing and OTA release processes. 
  • Improved supplier software quality through timely issue resolution, validated corrective actions, and reduced recurring defects. 
  • Reduced escaped defects and improved software stability across production releases. 

   

  Qualifications 

  Collaboration & Execution 

  • Strong collaboration skills across Software Development, Validation, Manufacturing Engineering, Diagnostics, Cloud, Automation, Service Engineering, Supplier Engineering, and Quality organizations. 
  • Ability to communicate complex technical findings through concise, data-driven summaries, dashboards, signal timelines, and actionable recommendations. 
  • Strong ownership mindset with a focus on software quality, launch readiness, validation efficiency, investigation rigor, and cross-functional execution. 

  Technical Qualifications 

  • 7+ years of experience in automotive software validation, embedded software testing, diagnostics, software quality engineering, system integration, vehicle launch support, or related technical disciplines. 
  • Hands-on experience with software validation, regression testing, release acceptance testing, and customer-facing vehicle software features. 
  • Experience collecting and analyzing vehicle logs, PCAP, CAN data, diagnostics, DTCs, cloud telemetry, and large-scale signal datasets. 
  • Strong understanding of vehicle networks, ECU communication, CAN, Ethernet, diagnostics, software deployment, and software validation processes. 
  • Experience supporting ECU software flashing, OTA updates, release readiness reviews, production software quality activities, or launch support. 
  • Experience working with software suppliers to manage defect investigations, review root-cause analyses, validate corrective actions, and support software release readiness. 
  • Strong debugging and root-cause analysis skills with the ability to connect customer symptoms, vehicle behavior, signal evidence, and software implementation details. 
  • Familiarity with automotive software quality processes, defect management, launch-quality activities, and milestone-based development programs. 
  • Proficiency with Python, SQL, CAN DBC databases, Grafana, InfluxDB, Prometheus, or similar data analysis and monitoring tools. 

   

  Education 

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related technical discipline preferred.

How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

• Read the whole description and match your examples to its requirements; use the same words the posting uses where they are true for you.
• Research the employer before the interview: what it does, who its customers are and recent news; prepare two or three questions about the work.
• Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.
• Answer with short stories: the situation, what you did and the result. Give numbers when you have them and never invent them.
• Be honest about gaps; say what you did to learn and how fast you can close them.
• Ask about the team, the first 90 days, how success is measured and the schedule; do not open with salary and time off.
• When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.
• Send a short thank-you message within a day, mentioning one thing you discussed.
• Have code, data work or projects you can show, and be ready to think aloud: many technical interviews test how you reason, not only the answer.

About 221 mm (9 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Jul is the wettest month (33 mm) and Jun the driest (3 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
