Verification and Validation Lead (ADAS)
Verification and Validation (V&V) Leader (ADAS Systems)
The V&V Leader will be responsible for defining, implementing, and overseeing the end-to-end Verification and Validation (V&V) strategy for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). The role involves leading a team of engineers to ensure ADAS features (such as ACC, AEB, LKA, etc.) meet stringent functional safety (ISO 26262), cybersecurity, and performance requirements. This position bridges the gap between development and deployment, ensuring that sensor fusion, perception, and decision-making algorithms are validated through rigorous simulation and real-world testing.
Requirements
Essential Skills & Experience
- ADAS Domain Expertise:
- Deep technical understanding of ADAS/AD features (e.g., ACC, AEB, LKA) and sensor technologies (Radar, Lidar, Camera, and Ultrasonic).
- Safety Standards Compliance:
- Proven experience implementing and validating systems according to ISO 26262 (Functional Safety) and ISO 21448 (SOTIF).
- Advanced V&V Methodologies:
- Hands-on experience managing the full testing V-model, including MIL (Model-in-the-Loop), SIL (Software-in-the-Loop), HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop), and real-world vehicle testing.
- Simulation & Tool Proficiency:
- Proficiency with industry-standard tools such as IPG Carmaker, dSPACE, Vector CANoe, and requirements management tools (e.g., IBM DOORS).
- Technical Leadership:
- Demonstrated ability to lead engineering teams, manage complex testing lifecycles, and coordinate with cross-functional departments.
- Programming & Automation:
- Strong ability to develop automated test scenarios and scripts using Python, MATLAB/Simulink, or C++.
