Position :
:Validation Engineer Location:
:Sunnyvael, CA Onsite Duration :
: 6+ Months(CTH)Interview Process:
- Initial recruiter screen with Internal TA (15 min)
- 2 x 45-minute technical interviews
- Final 30-minute conversation o Interview process can potentially be completed in one day for onsite candidates o Scenario/problem-solving focused interviews o Technical evaluation includes practical validation methodology and light Python scripting/automation questions Must Have Linkedin profile Job Description What have you been running into:
- Candidates from OEM environments often struggle because they are used to validating complete end-to-end vehicle systems instead of partial ECU/signal-level systems.
- Many testers lack enough Python scripting/automation capability.
- Some candidates are too focused on manual QA vs true automotive validation/system-level reasoning.
- Need candidates who can logically reason through incomplete systems and independently execute testing.
- Need candidates comfortable in a fast-paced startup environment.
Intake Note:
- Mid-level candidates are acceptable/preferred. Do NOT send entry-level/fresh grads.
- Strong preference for candidates with infotainment/IVI validation backgrounds from OEMs or Tier-1 suppliers.
- Candidates do NOT need to be expert coders, but they must be able to read/modify/create Python automation scripts using existing frameworks/templates.
- They want engineers who understand systems behavior, CAN/signals, and ECU-level interactions.
- This is more validation engineering than pure QA and not a mobile or software QA.
- They are flexible on exact Bluetooth/WiFi experience if the candidate has strong automotive infotainment validation fundamentals.
- The environment is highly collaborative and fast paced.
- Local candidates strongly preferred, but relocation is possible.
- Multiple openings (2+ currently for HMI validation, likely growing).
- Candidates open to contract only OR contract-to-hire are acceptable.
