Senior Software Engineer – Connectivity Software Verification

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).

5+ years of professional experience in software verification, validation, or quality engineering, including substantial hands‐on test development.

Strong experience testing embedded or real‐time systems, ideally in automotive, mobile, telecom, or networking domains.

Solid programming/scripting skills for test automation (e.g., Python; familiarity with C/C++ and/or Java is a plus).

Practical knowledge of connectivity technologies such as:

Digital Key / phone‐as‐a‐key solutions.

Bluetooth/Bluetooth Low Energy (pairing, profiles, audio/data use cases).

Network connectivity fundamentals (WLAN, VLAN, TCP/UDP, routing, DNS, security protocols).

Experience designing and executing system‐level, integration, and regression tests, including negative, stress, and long‐run scenarios.

Familiarity with test management and defect tracking tools, and with CI environments (e.g., Jenkins, Git‐based workflows).

Strong debugging skills using logs, traces, and protocol analyzers (e.g., Bluetooth sniffers, network analyzers, CAN tools).

Proven ability to work cross‐functionally in a fast‐paced engineering environment, communicate clearly, and drive issues to closure.

Strong ownership mindset, attention to detail, and a passion for delivering high‐quality, customer‐facing features.

Experience testing in‐vehicle infotainment or automotive connectivity systems (Bluetooth, Wi‐Fi, Digital Key/BLE, telematics) across multiple ECU configurations.

Experience with in‐vehicle networks and automotive protocols (e.g., CAN, LIN, SOME/IP, UDS, Ethernet in‐vehicle networking).

Background in connectivity or infotainment domains within automotive, including prior work on telematics or similar connected‐services platforms.

Hands‐on experience with Digital Key ecosystems (e.g., Bluetooth LE, UWB, NFC, secure storage, mobile app integration).

Experience with:

Automated test frameworks and CI/CD (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar),

Robot Framework or comparable automation stacks for bench and HIL testing.

Prior mentoring or technical leadership experience within a verification or QA team.

Background in correlating customer feedback (e.g., JD Power, Compass, call‐center tickets) with technical issues and feeding those learnings into test design and KPIs.

Strong data analysis skills (e.g., dashboards, metrics) to derive insights from large volumes of test results and logs and to improve test efficiency and effectiveness.

Hybrid

This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to their assigned GM location (Warren, MI) three times per week, at minimum.
