Test & Validation Engineer – Electric Powertrain System – Integration

As an Integration-Level Test & Validation Engineer, you will be responsible for validating High Voltage (HV) Powertrain and Charging systems at system level, ensuring correct interaction between software, hardware, and vehicle-level functions.

The role focuses on system integration, HIL testing, and laboratory-based validation, bridging component behaviour with vehicle-level performance.

You will work closely with system engineers, software developers, and calibration teams to verify HV system functionality, robustness, and regulatory compliance across HEV, PHEV, and BEV architectures.

Activities

• Plan and execute system-level test and validation activities for HV powertrain and charging systems
• Validate interaction between HV subsystems such as:
• Energy Management
• Thermal Management
• Charging Control (AC/DC, onboard charger, charging communication)
• Torque Management
• High Voltage Safety and diagnostics
• Develop test specifications and test cases derived from system and functional requirements
• Perform testing using HIL platforms and system test benches
• Support integration testing, identifying interface issues between ECU, software, and hardware
• Analyse measurement data and logs to:
• Assess functional behaviour
• Identify root causes of failures
• Verify compliance with system requirements
• Produce clear test reports and validation documentation
• Support issue tracking, troubleshooting, and resolution in collaboration with system, software, and hardware teams
• Contribute to continuous improvement of test methods, automation strategies, and test coverage
• Support functional calibration activities when required

The Company is open to considering alternative engagement arrangements, including a self-employed basis, subject to mutual agreement.

Requirements

• Engineering degree 2:1 or above
• 5 Years experience or above in similar role
• Experience in HV system and related regulations
• Experience in HEV, PHEV or BEV architectures
• Expert in one or more of the HV system functions including Energy management, Thermal management, Charging control, Torque management and High voltage safety
• Create test specifications based on HV system requirements
• Execute test cases in vehicle and test benches
• Analyse measurements and create test reports
• Support trouble shooting and issue management
• Experience in functional calibration is a plus
• Experience in test case automation on test benches is a plus
• Experience in big data analysis
• Ability to overcome cultural barriers
• Demonstrate strong customer, team & supplier management skills
• An ability to work effectively and calmly under pressure and to manage time effectively under tight and rigid deadlines
• Mircosoft Excel, Word, Power Point, Project, Visio

Benefits

• Health cash plan, following successful probation
• 5% employer pension contributions
• Hybrid working
• 25 days annual leave + 8 bank holidays
• Generous absence cover
• Cycle 2 Work scheme
• Octopus EV scheme
