YOUR TEAM

In our team, we shape the overall strategy for verifying and validating advanced driver assistance functions. We ensure that software features are tested consistently, efficiently, and with a strong focus on automation.  

Our work spans the full testing lifecycle from defining test concepts to planning, executing, and continuously improving test activities across both software and hardware products. A central part of our mission is to build and integrate state-of-the-art test automation frameworks that enable fast, scalable, and repeatable testing in different simulation environments.

  • Work in our test automation team with a focus on AI-assisted testing for ADAS
  • Develop and operate AI agents to generate test cases and propose edge scenarios from requirements, logs, and simulation data
  • Automate test result analysis by designing and building AI agents to optimize regressions, triage failures, and produce concise summaries
  • Implement and maintain test suites for SiL/SoL and HiL/HoL environments
  • Extend our CI/CD pipeline workflows to orchestrate tests, manage artifacts, and collect metrics at scale
  • Publish results and metadata to our analytics platforms and help build role‑specific dashboards for testers, management, and other stakeholders
