Senior System Verification Engineer

About the role

This role validates vehicle electrical and electronic systems in simulated and laboratory environments for a global engineering firm. The position supports testing, analysis, and documentation for automotive programs within a large cross-functional organization.

Software engineers turn product ideas into working code. Engineers work in small teams, review each other's work, and ship in small batches. Most teams follow agile practices such as sprints and daily standups. Engineers also write tests, fix bugs, and improve performance. The field values clear communication as much as technical skill. Engineers spend part of every week on planning, code review, and debugging, not just writing new code. The ability to explain a technical decision in plain words separates strong engineers from the rest.

Key facts

What you'll do

Execute defined test scenarios and validate vehicle electrical and electronic systems against specifications in simulated environments.

Investigation of electrical and electronic system behavior reveals interactions between vehicle systems and features across multiple vehicle platforms.

Requirements

Hold a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related technical field. Demonstrate a strong interest in automotive electrical and electronic systems and emerging vehicle technologies.

Understand electrical and electronic system concepts, system integration, and vehicle architectures. Apply strong analytical and problem-solving skills to interpret test results and identify issues. Use excellent written and verbal communication skills to convey technical information.

Work effectively in a collaborative, cross-functional engineering environment. Maintain a proactive learning mindset to develop expertise in complex vehicle systems. Pay close attention to detail and commit to producing accurate, high-quality test results and documentation.

Nice to have

Experience with Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing or other automotive simulation and validation environments is brought to the role. Knowledge of vehicle communication networks such as CAN, LIN, Ethernet, or related automotive protocols is possessed. Familiarity with electrical/electronic system integration and vehicle feature validation is demonstrated.

Engagement with configuration management and change management processes occurs. Experience developing or maintaining test cases, test procedures, and validation documentation is present. Familiarity with automotive development processes, testing methodologies, and system-level troubleshooting is applied. Exposure to multiple vehicle platforms or complex automotive electrical architectures is held.

Skills & tools

General knowledge of vehicle electrical systems, simulation tools, and test methodologies applies to this role.

Practical notes

This role may involve travel within the assigned region. Typical interview steps

Hiring for engineering roles usually starts with a recruiter screen, followed by one or two technical rounds. Candidates often solve a coding problem, discuss past projects, and answer system design questions. Some loops include a take-home task. Final rounds typically cover team fit and give candidates a chance to ask questions. Interviewers look for how you break down an unfamiliar problem, not just whether you reach the answer. Practicing a few problems aloud and reviewing your own past projects are the best preparation.

Career growth

Engineering careers usually progress from individual contributor to senior, staff, and principal levels. Some engineers move into management and lead teams of five to twenty people. Others stay on the technical track. Growth follows demonstrated impact, not tenure alone. A typical engineering ladder has clear levels with defined expectations for scope, quality, and mentorship. Moving up usually requires owning outcomes end to end rather than completing assigned tickets.

Questions to ask

Worth asking in any interview: how the team measures success, who the role works with daily, what the onboarding looks like, and what the company is trying to achieve this year. Asking what past hires did well is a strong final question. Keep the list short and pick the questions that matter most to you.
