1. Position Purpose
Responsible for designing, leading, and overseeing vehicle-level ADAS/ADS testing and feature-level validation, from test scenario development and test equipment configuration to test execution on closed test tracks and public roads. The role also covers test result analysis and safety validation prior to commercial deployment or submission for regulatory/homologation approval.
2. Key Responsibilities
Test Scenario Design: Develop and maintain vehicle-level test scenarios and test cases in accordance with ISO 26262, ISO 21448 (SOTIF), ISO 3450x series, ISO 22737, current Euro NCAP protocols, and applicable domestic/international homologation requirements.
Test Equipment Setup: Set up, calibrate, and operate steering/braking/throttle robots, RTK-GNSS positioning systems, dummy/soft targets for VRUs, and other measurement equipment required for dynamic testing under NCAP/ISO protocols.
Test Execution: Conduct and supervise testing activities on Closed Test Tracks (CTT) and public roads within approved ODDs, including ADAS Level 2 testing and advanced testing targeting ADS Level 3/4 in accordance with SAE J3016, where required.
Data & Log Analysis: Analyze CAN/CAN-FD logs, camera/radar/lidar sensor logs, ADAS/ADS system logs, and synchronized video data to identify root causes of failures or abnormal behaviors, including disengagements, near-misses, and false positives/negatives.
Reporting & Documentation: Prepare test reports, acceptance records, and evidence packages for Safety Cases and regulatory/homologation submissions, ensuring full traceability of test results and assessments.
Technical Coaching & Supervision: Train, guide, and provide technical supervision to Junior Test Engineers and Safety Operators during field testing, ensuring compliance with vehicle testing safety procedures.
Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with EE, Software, and Functional Safety teams to define pass/fail criteria, update release-gate procedures, and participate in Safety Case reviews before ODD expansion or OTA deployment.
