Conduct streamlined driving data processing for large-scale testing, complete root cause analysis of test issues, deliver key performance assessments, and make definitive software release judgments based on large-scale test results.
Collaborate cross-functionally with technical and engineering teams to resolve critical issues in large-scale testing and project delivery, driving the implementation of targeted solutions and the optimization of cross-project large-scale test processes.
Oversee and govern all large-scale scaling test activities, conduct systematic categorization of test events, and escalate critical issues as required; monitor core quality metrics and trending risks of large-scale testing to ensure sustained optimization of AV software quality.
Partner closely with engineering, quality, operations, and mapping teams to clarify cross-functional demands for large-scale testing projects, and develop integrated, executable test plans and project promotion schedules.
Lead, manage and develop the test team, provide professional training and mentorship for contract testers and junior test colleagues, and build the team’s core capability in large-scale testing management and project execution.
What we need to see:
Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) or equivalent in CS/CE/IT/ECE/EEE or related fields, with 6+ years of experience in automotive engineering, driving function test management, test process building, or automotive testing tool development.
Hands-on mass production rollout experience of highway/urban ADAS driving functions for city-scale expansion across multiple vehicle lines; proven track record of participating in at least one mass-produced autonomous driving project (driving scenario-focused) with industry-leading large-scale test delivery results.
Delivery- and results-oriented professional with a passion for automotive product launch; exceptional large-scale driving test program management capabilities, including strong multi-tasking, stakeholder influence, cross-functional communication, presentation, consensus-building, and test team development skills.
Basic experience in test data analysis and driving test issue triage, proficient in mainstream test data analysis & visualization tools (SQL, Tableau) to support data-driven large-scale driving test decision-making and issue resolution.
Rich practical on-vehicle driving test experience, valid professional driving skills, and systematic professional understanding of autonomous driving function testing logic, large-scale test scenario design, and test standard formulation.
Strong strategic and tactical thinking, with a demonstrated history of aligning cross-functional stakeholders to deliver successful automotive driving test programs; proven ability to creatively resolve technical challenges and resource conflicts in large-scale driving test projects.
Familiar with agile software development methodologies, and proficient in agile test management tools (e.g., JIRA, DOORS, Jama) for end-to-end driving test process tracking, test requirement management, and large-scale test project delivery.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
Strong strategic and tactical thinking, with a demonstrated history of aligning cross-functional stakeholders to deliver successful automotive driving test programs; proven ability to creatively resolve technical challenges and resource conflicts in large-scale driving test projects.
Excellent presentation and leadership communication skills: capable of demoing driving function test features, compiling clear and concise technical summaries/reports, and driving cross-team alignment on large-scale driving test process improvements and project objectives.
Fluent in English (both written and spoken) for daily work communication; willing to accept overseas business trips to support global large-scale driving test project collaboration.
