<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Identify critical and edge-case maneuvers to expose potential failures.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Conduct testing on propulsion system architectures using Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and vehicles.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Support OBD diagnostic validation testing.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Independently drive day-to-day execution of assigned validation, including clear documentation of results, issues, and evidence to support issue resolution and fixes.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Provide informal mentoring (peer reviews of test approaches/DVPs, troubleshooting guidance, best-practice sharing) to support team capability development.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">This role offers a unique opportunity to work at the forefront of powertrain software validation, ensuring the performance and reliability of cutting-edge vehicle technology.</span></li>
