OBD Requirements Testing Sr Specialist

• Own the definition and maintenance of testable OBD requirements aligned with regulatory expectations and system-level diagnostic concepts across software-defined vehicle architecture
• Translate OBD system requirements into clear validation criteria, acceptance conditions, and structured test specifications, ensuring completeness, consistency, and auditability
• Develop and govern test concepts for OBD monitors, readiness behavior, MIL activation, DTC setting and clearing logic, fault handling, and diagnostic communication behavior
• Ensure full traceability from requirements to validation activities, including test cases, execution results, issue tracking, and release evidence
• Partner closely with HIL engineers, validation teams, calibration engineers, software developers, systems engineers, and compliance stakeholders to align on test scope, coverage, execution strategy, and closure priorities
• Lead the development and continuous improvement of HIL, SIL, MIL, and vehicle-level OBD test scenarios, including fault injection, edge cases, degraded modes, recovery behavior, and regulatory drive cycle coverage
• Review and assess diagnostic implementations against requirements to ensure correct monitor execution, enable conditions, reaction behavior, and expected system performance under all relevant operating conditions
• Analyze test results, diagnostic traces, logs, and measurement data to identify gaps, inconsistencies, false detections, missing coverage, or non-compliant behavior, and drive structured root cause analysis and resolution
• Ensure OBD validation is robust across nominal operation, boundary conditions, degraded states, startup behavior, recovery paths, and production-relevant use cases
• Support compliance readiness and certification activities by contributing to validation reports, readiness assessments, compliance documentation, and technical evidence packages for internal and external reviews
• Coordinate validation activities across prototype, pre-production, and serial development phases, including planning, execution tracking, status reporting, and risk escalation
• Work with systems and architecture teams to ensure OBD requirements are designed for testability, scalability, and efficient validation execution within SDV framework
• Drive continuous improvement of test methods, validation processes, requirement quality, and diagnostic verification strategies to improve engineering efficiency and technical robustness
• Support issue resolution by tracing faults and failures back to requirement weaknesses, incorrect assumptions, software issues, monitor configuration gaps, or incomplete validation coverage
• Mentor engineers and contribute to best practices for OBD validation methodology, requirement quality, and compliance-focused engineering execution

• Bachelors degree
• 8 years of experience in automotive diagnostics, validation, systems engineering, or requirements engineering, with strong focus on OBD testing, verification, and compliance  
• Proven experience defining testable OBD requirements and translating regulatory and system concepts into robust validation strategies, test specifications, and objective pass/fail criteria  
• Deep understanding of OBDII regulations, diagnostic monitor execution, DTC behavior, readiness states, MIL logic, fault detection concepts, and emissions-related validation expectations  
• Strong experience converting regulatory and system requirements into clear validation plans, monitor-specific test cases, acceptance criteria, and compliance evidence  
• Hands-on experience with HIL, SIL, MIL, and vehicle-level validation, including development of automated and manually executed diagnostic test scenarios  
• Strong proficiency with engineering and validation tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, ETAS INCA, CANoe/CANalyzer, CANape, and data analysis environments  
• Good understanding of UDS diagnostics, freeze frame handling, DTC setting/clearing behavior, fault memory management, and diagnostic communication over CAN and Ethernet  
• Experience with requirements and traceability tools such as Jama, DOORS, or Polarion, including linking requirements to test cases, execution results, and release evidence  
• Strong analytical and debugging skills with the ability to interpret measurement data, logs (MDF/BLF), diagnostic traces, and test reports and convert findings into structured issue resolution  
• Ability to read and understand Simulink models, control logic, software behavior, system architectures, and diagnostic specifications  
• Demonstrated ability to work across systems engineering, calibration, software, HIL, vehicle validation, diagnostics, and compliance teams in a global and cross-functional development environment  
• Strong ownership, structured problem solving, technical rigor, and communication skills, with the ability to drive alignment and closure without direct authority  
• Motivated senior engineer who wants to improve the robustness, maturity, and compliance readiness of next-generation diagnostic systems through disciplined requirements definition and validation execution
