Lead Validation Engineer

As a Lead Validation Engineer at ZweiThreads, you’ll balance test strategy with hands-on execution in our work for a leading German automotive manufacturer. You’ll lead connectivity validation for Bluetooth and NG eCall—translating requirements into clear coverage and quality gates, and coordinating on-/offshore teams to drive issues to closure (including AI-assisted testing where it helps). This role is perfect for someone who delivers reliable releases today while building scalable test architecture for tomorrow’s needs.

Key Responsibilities:

Strategic Collaboration:

- Explore and champion AI-assisted testing

Technical Leadership:

- Lead connectivity testing initiatives within automotive infotainment programs, specifically in Bluetooth and NG eCall domains

- 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

- Experience with automation frameworks, CANoe, Wireshark, adb, logcat, and packet sniffers

- Skilled in end-to-end testing of connectivity subsystems and validation across middleware, app, and hardware layers

Preferred Qualifications:

- Exposure to NG eCall conformance/regulatory workflows

- Familiarity with Automotive SPICE (ASPICE) test processes

- Exposure to Android Automotive certification or compliance testing (e.g., CTS/VTS)

- Knowledge of AI/ML technologies and their application to software development processes

- Prior experience working with international teams, ideally European or German OEMs

- German language skills (conversational or better)
