Description
Valeo is a tech global company, designing breakthrough solutions to reinvent the mobility. We are an automotive supplier partner to automakers and new mobility actors worldwide. Our vision? Invent a greener and more secured mobility, thanks to solutions focusing on intuitive driving and reducing CO2 emissions. We are leader on our businesses, and recognized as one of the largest global innovative companies. Technical Leadership Lead system validation activities for Radar and Ultrasonic sensor-based ADAS/AD functions. Define validation strategy, scope, and methodology aligned with system requirements and customer expectations. Drive variant test optimization, ensuring efficient coverage across multiple sensor/system configurations. Develop and maintain system validation roadmaps in line with V-cycle and Agile processes. System Validation & Debugging Oversee end-to-end validation from requirement analysis to test execution, defect tracking, and closure. Troubleshoot and debug system-level issues, ensuring root cause identification across sensors, ECU, and communication interfaces. Collaborate with hardware, software, and integration teams to ensure effective issue resolution. Support the design and development of test automation frameworks for efficient regression and system testing. Radar & Ultrasonic Application Knowledge Understand the working principles, limitations, and performance characteristics of Radar and Ultrasonic sensors. Apply knowledge of signal processing, object detection, tracking, and classification for application development. Contribute to the design, validation, and optimization of ADAS/AD applications based on Radar/Ultrasonics, such as: Parking assistance, automated parking, and maneuvering functions. Blind spot detection, rear cross-traffic alert, collision avoidance. Low-speed automation and sensor-fusion-based perception. Work closely with function development teams to translate sensor outputs into system-level features. Ensure validation covers both sensor-level KPIs (detection range, angular resolution, latency, robustness) and application-level performance. Communication Protocols & Networking Apply technical knowledge of in-vehicle communication protocols: LIN, CAN, CAN FD, Ethernet, SPI, Daisy Chain, and Point-to-Point communication. Ensure proper validation coverage of communication interfaces between sensors and system controllers. Guide test teams on network analysis and debugging (e.g., bus monitoring, timing validation). Project & Stakeholder Management Act as the technical owner for validation-related activities, providing guidance to validation engineers. Manage cross-functional dependencies with development, integration, and quality teams. Track project KPIs, milestones, and validation deliverables, ensuring timely and high-quality project execution. Interface with OEMs/customers on validation progress, issues, and risk management. Required Skills & Qualifications Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field. 5+ years of experience in automotive system validation, preferably with Radar and Ultrasonic sensors. Strong understanding of: Sensor core technologies (Radar waveform, FMCW, CW, beamforming, Ultrasonic ranging, echo processing). Application development for ADAS/AD based on Radar and Ultrasonics (object detection, parking functions, collision avoidance, fusion with camera/lidar). Expertise in communication protocols: LIN, CAN, CAN FD, Ethernet, SPI, Daisy Chain, and network debugging tools. Proven knowledge of V-cycle development and Agile methodologies. Experience in test automation frameworks (e.g., Python, CAPL, Robot Framework) and validation toolchains (CANoe, CANape, dSPACE, ETAS, etc.). Ability to define and implement system validation strategies, including variant test optimization. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with hands-on debugging experience. Excellent communication, leadership, and stakeholder management skills. Preferred Skills Experience with ADAS/AD validation frameworks. Knowledge of safety and quality standards (ISO 26262, ASPICE). Familiarity with continuous integration and test systems (Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD). Prior experience working with global OEMs or Tier-1 suppliers.
