Applied Intuition is a $15B-valued AI infrastructure company powering physical intelligence for autonomous systems across automotive, defense, trucking, construction, mining, and agriculture. The company serves 18 of the top 20 global automakers and the US military.
You will join the firmware validation team in Bangalore as a Firmware Validation Engineer, responsible for designing, developing, and executing a comprehensive firmware test automation platform. Working cross-functionally with systems engineering and development teams, you'll ensure high standards for safety and quality in automotive embedded systems.
Key responsibilities include:
- Design, develop, and execute test cases derived from system requirements using HIL test benches, lab cars, and manual vehicle testing
- Perform system and integration testing across automotive subsystems (infotainment, telematics, cameras, sensors, in-vehicle networking)
- Set up, configure, and maintain HIL test environments to validate system functionality and performance
- Analyze test failures, perform root cause analysis, and collaborate with engineering teams to debug and resolve issues
- Work with OEM partners, supporting integration of OEM functions and communicating test results and risks
- Conduct hands-on validation testing on vehicles and prototypes to ensure functional and safety requirements are met
- Develop and maintain Python-based test automation scripts to improve test coverage, repeatability, and efficiency
- Document test procedures, results, findings, issue tracking, and failure analysis
The role focuses on manual testing, test design, test automation, and documentation for embedded automotive systems including AUTOSAR, body electronics, OTA, and diagnostics.
Applied Intuition operates as an in-office company with the expectation that full-time employees work from the Bangalore office 5 days per week, though occasional flexibility is available for morning remote work or schedule adjustments.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 4+ years of hands-on experience in validation engineering within automotive, embedded systems, or electronics industries
- Proficiency with HIL systems and experience validating automotive systems (infotainment, ADAS, telematics, sensors, networking)
- Experience coding in Python (preferred) or another language for test automation and script development
- Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills to identify, root cause, and resolve system-level and component-level failures
- Ability to document test procedures, results, and progress clearly and accurately, including issue tracking and test failure analysis
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent major
NICE TO HAVE:
- Experience with low-power state and sleep current characterization, functional safety and fault injection validation (ECC memory testing, windowed watchdog testing), and peripheral bring-up/verification (SPI, I2C, ADC/DAC)
- Experience with automotive network architectures and protocols (CAN, Ethernet, LIN, Flexray) and ability to validate system-level performance
- Hands-on experience with Vector CANoe, dSPACE ControlDesk for automotive system validation and testing
- Experience with prototype system bring-up, debugging, and validation in lab and vehicle environments
- Familiarity with test automation frameworks for automotive systems and experience developing robust automated tests
- Innate curiosity to optimize testing processes and improve efficiency through scripting, automation, and tools
