Propulsion Systems Validation Engineer (BEV & ICE)

Join a fast-paced engineering team responsible for validating next-generation propulsion systems, including battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and internal combustion engines (ICE). You will help ensure high-quality powertrain software through rigorous validation, testing, and cross-functional collaboration.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute validation of powertrain control modules, including hardware, software, and calibrations

• Perform testing in vehicle environments and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation systems

• Develop and execute DVP&R test plans and procedures

• Conduct initial root cause analysis and document test failures

• Collaborate with Validation Project Chief and engineering teams to track and resolve issues

• Support requirements-based testing, including traceability and coverage

• Drive continuous improvement of validation processes and test strategies

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical Engineering or related degree field

• Experience in powertrain or related engineering position

• Experience with propulsion sub systems, verification or validation of powertrain control systems

• Familiarity with requirements-based testing and test case development.

• Familiarity with embedded controls, working with OBD and federal diagnostic requirements / diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs)

• Working knowledge of diagnostic tools ex. CDA, CAN/LIN communication protocols and how to interface with embedded devices

• Familiarity with HIL Hardware in the loop Simulators (ex. dSPACE)

• Good written and verbal communication skills in English

• Must be able to legally drive a vehicle in the USA

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master of Science degree in Engineering

• Some exposure to IBM ELM/ALM based tools such as but not limited to: DOORs, PTC Integrity, Rational Quality Manager (RQM), Rational Team Center (RTC) etc.

• Demonstrated interest in powertrain and/or vehicle development

• Some history of scripting/programming language interest (ex. Python, visual basic, etc.)
