MISSION

Responsible of the validation on electronics components and systems (E&E):

• Specify the tests needed based on the functionality and the requirements to validate the product at component level and system level (High Voltage and Low Voltage). 
• Perform the test at internal test bench and support for externalized tests.
• Prepare the test plan, perform the test, analyze and post-process the data highlighting the relevant correlations, redact the test reports, make recommendations for product changes.
• Create and execute tests representative of the real-life usage on the field at hardware and software level.
• Own the test procedure and the test equipment, propose improvements to the test process, to the tools used and to the product development and validation workflow, and create / update the related documents.
• Own the test procedure and the test equipment, propose improvements to the test process, to the tools used and to the product development and validation workflow, and create / update the related documents.

ACTIVITIES

Testing

• Redact the Validation Test Plan (Design Validation, Product Validation) based on component or system requirements (performance, durability, applicable norms) and boundaries.
• Realize tests at system level and/or component level (High Voltage and Low Voltage) in internal labs and support the management of the externalized tests, create test automation scripts, analyze and post-process the data, make recommendations for product changes. 
• Redact reports of tests, write test procedures, contribute to the definition of test cases like the Safety Case.
• Create and document anomalies reports related to function limitation / issue (like SW bugs for example).
• Participate to the product development and validation by verifying the software functions and features, by contributing to simulations optimization, by validating the design on a prototype and on a serial level, and by building and improving the correlation between lab tests and real-life usage. 
• Support traceability between component / system requirements and test cases.

Testing guidelines

• Redact testing guidelines on functions for follower applications by:
• Explaining testing philosophy and scope (HW and SW) to the testing stakeholders (i.e.: Product Application Engineer).
• Detailing validation tests to be performed depending on context (test versus hardware change or software change) and project scope.
• Detailing validations to do as non-regression tests and depending on project scope.

Expertise and know-how
