Verification and Validation (V&V) is about providing objective evidence that the system/product, when in use, fulfills the requirements in the intended operating environment. Algorithms are cross-functional in nature, and the verification of these solutions is as critical as their design. This role requires excellent system understanding, system verification thinking, and close teamwork with hardware and software design, algorithm design, systems application, system architecture, and quality teams.
Responsibilities:
- Drive the verification and validation effort of our key programs.
- Work with algorithm engineers and Embedded SW to understand requirements, specifications, and implementations to prepare and execute suitable verification and validation plans.
- Define a long-term verification and validation roadmap of capabilities, flows, and methodologies to continuously improve productivity.
- Creatively plan to test devices in corner cases where potential marginalities and issues could arise beyond the given specifications.
- Consult on required hardware system boards and software to automate test cases to achieve the best coverage at the highest efficiency.
Qualifications
- Minimum BS in Electrical or Computer Engineering; MSEE or MSCE and 6+ years of experience preferred.
Experience and Skills
- Experience in verifying complex algorithms such as battery state estimation and health algorithms (SoC, SoH, SoP) for automotive or industrial applications.
- Understanding the working theory of lithium-ion batteries and familiarity with new chemistries.
- Experience with machine learning and/or statistical analysis methods.
- Proficiency in C/C++ (embedded) and Python or other programming/scripting languages.
- Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink
- Background in Systems Engineering and/or formal testing of complex systems (e.g., automotive).
- Excellent hardware and software troubleshooting skills.
- Experience with software compiler/debug tools, such as IAR, Keil, or Segger.
- Experience with software revision control, repositories, and regression testing (e.g., Git, Bitbucket, SVN).
- Ability to work in teams and collaborate effectively with people in different functions.
- Clear communicator with excellent verbal, written, and organizational skills.
- Motivated, proactive, fast learner, and hands-on.
Nice to Have
- Background in automated software and system verification.
- Experience with requirements management tools (e.g., JAMA, DOORs).
- Experience with ARM-based microcontrollers (Cortex-Mx or Cortex-Rx series).
