Regular Test Engineer

Project Description:

• The System Test Engineer ensures the elicitation of the requirements/KPIs, the test coverage of the System and System Architecture Requirements and the quality of test cases along with the Test Plans.
• He/she specifies the test cases following the test strategies.
• He/she ensures that the test environment is set up correctly.
• He/she executes the tests.
• He/she ensures the consistency of the test results with the test specification, the device under test, and the relevant System release.
• He/she reports to the Test Lead or System Validation Technical Project Manager.

Responsibilities:

Communication / Network

• Test service request process, review and analysis.
• Analyze customer specifications with the product manager and quality PTM, challenge the tests requested, and define the final validation plan to build the final offer.
• Define the need for specific tools or bench (characterization, reliability...)
• Also define the associated budget.

Planning

• Write the detailed validation plan and test specification, including both OEM validation and also Tier 1 customer requirements (to achieve quality targets)
• Schedule the validation plan and manage the test with the support of laboratory resources (technicians...)
• Responsible for the main relationship with the customer and project team for environmental validations (methods and results) wherever the tests are located (USA, abroad, external lab...)
• Work in parallel with the project team; contribute to correcting the design in order to meet product performance.
• Manage the configuration and logistics of tested parts
• Lead validation FMEA generation for assigned project
• General DRs for software, hardware & product design reviews, problem resolution, and FMEA analysis.

Manage

• Manage the planning inside the laboratory and allocate resources (technicians, tools, benches...).
• Responsible for obtaining the specific tools needed for the validation (need specification and follow-up) whenever they are done inside Valeo or external to Valeo
• Manage the cost of the validation activities

Test Execution

• Familiarize with the working system using bench equipment to enable view on delivered product and to understand customer problems
• Carry out all work to comply with Quality Management System and Validation Engineering Processes e.g. ASPICE, ISOTS16949
• Work with Methods & Tools (M&T) team to develop test environment solutions to enable Design & Process Validation (DV/PV)
• Governance of Test setup and verification of test platforms supported by lab operations technical support
• Governance of Test setup and test script development (using NI LabVIEW / TestStand) supported by both M&T and lab operations technical support
• Governance of test execution as per the specification using lab equipment (using thermal chambers, IPx) supported by lab operations technical support
• Encourage a Safety focus dedicated to maintaining high-quality standards.

Reporting

• Report validation status to the project team and management on a regular basis (QRQC, 5mm...)
• Generation of test reports, peer-reviews of data and follow-up on approval
• Create daily and weekly activity reports on project- and non-project related activities using dashboards made available
• Perform problem management role interfacing with customer, allocation of Device Under Test (DUT) failures to appropriate functions and leading weekly reviews
• Participate in lessons learned across the various projects

Efficiency

• Contribute to the improvements of the laboratory's tools such as : instruction sheet, development and validation of test environment processes automation

Test Efficiency:

• Minimize test cycle times
• Provide work instructions to test houses to enable efficient transfer of test equipment
• Support the project team with analysis of failure modes
• Implement a robust and efficient automated test benches
