As a Firmware Validation Engineer, you will validate firmware functionality at the component, subsystem and system level, ensuring features operate reliably within the broader vehicle platform. This includes testing embedded applications, control logic, and feature integrations across hardware interfaces, sensors, and actuators to confirm they meet functional, performance, and safety requirements.
Your work directly impacts the quality and readiness of customer-facing features by catching issues early, improving integration stability, and enabling smooth handoff to system-level validation. Through close collaboration with firmware developers, systems engineers, and cross-functional teams, you will help deliver robust and reliable embedded features to production
In this role, you will:
Develop comprehensive test plans based on requirements and designDevelop and implement automated tests on complex embedded systemsCollaborate with system, firmware & hardware engineers to ensure implementations meet requirements and desired functionality in accordance with product requirements.Manage test suites across multiple CI frameworkDevelop new firmware tests/review and refine existing firmware tests
