Define and evolve test strategy and architecture to ensure robust coverage across system, integration, and regression levels

Assess, measure, and continuously improve test coverage, quality metrics, and defect leakage across releases

Cross-Functional Contribution:

Coordinate cross-functional test teams, balancing offshore/on-site execution while maintaining quality and delivery cadence

Act as the technical bridge between testing, development, and system integration; drive defect triage to closure

Share knowledge openly, mentor junior engineers, and step into adjacent areas when the team needs it

Facilitate sprint planning/reviews and champion pragmatic Agile practices

Required Qualifications:

Minimum 8 years total experience in software testing, with significant exposure to the automotive domain

At least 5 years in infotainment connectivity testing (Automotive infotainment testing and regulatory conformance testing with a focus on Bluetooth, NG eCall, Wi-Fi, telematics)

Strong hands-on experience testing Linux-based and AOSP-based infotainment systems
