Software Test & Issue Triaging Engineer – Automotive / ADAS

We are recruiting for an experienced Software Test & Issue Triaging Engineer to support vehicle-level software validation within an advanced automotive / ADAS environment.

This is a hands-on role focused on real vehicle testing, issue triage, and defect validation rather than lab-only or manual QA work. You’ll work closely with cross-functional engineering and validation teams to ensure embedded software and driver assistance features perform as intended.

Key Responsibilities

* Plan and execute vehicle-level software testing and validation activities

* Generate and run test cases for embedded and ADAS features

* Prepare vehicles for testing, including test equipment setup

* Perform issue triage, defect validation, and root cause analysis

* Capture, analyse, and report test data accurately

* Use CAN and data acquisition tools to support diagnostics

* Support validation activities on proving grounds and public roads

Required Skills & Experience

* Background in automotive software testing or validation

* Experience with ADAS or driver assistance systems

* Strong knowledge of vehicle-level testing and issue triaging

* Hands-on use of tools such as CANape, CANalyzer, INCA, Simulink, or ADTF

* Experience with embedded systems, ECUs, and CAN bus

* Proven defect tracking, reporting, and data analysis skills

* Full UK (or EU equivalent) driving licence

Desirable

* Proving ground or on-road testing experience

* Automotive OEM, Tier-1, or engineering services background

This role suits engineers who enjoy hands-on vehicle testing, problem-solving, and working close to real-world automotive systems
