Role Summary:

The Diagnostic V&V Engineer will be responsible for validating and verifying vehicle diagnostic functionality across current and upcoming vehicle programs. The role focuses on UDS‑based diagnostics, in‑vehicle networks, and ensuring EOL/production readiness. Candidates will work closely with feature teams to generate diagnostic readiness data required for software build acceptance and program milestones.

Dimension of function:

The Diagnostic V&V Engineer will produce the diagnostic readiness data needed to assess build health and support program sign‑offs for current vehicle platforms. Their work directly ensures software maturity and prevents late‑stage diagnostic issues in vehicle production.

Key responsibilities:

1. Diagnostic Protocols & Network Debug

· Perform verification and validation of diagnostic services based on UDS (ISO 14229).

· Debug and analyze communication on CAN, CAN‑FD, and DoIP networks.

· Validate Transport Layer behavior and message flow for diagnostics‑related ECUs.

· Investigate issues related to DTCs, session handling, security unlocking, flash sequences, etc.

· Capture and interpret network logs to support root‑cause analysis.

2. Tools & Test Execution

· Execute diagnostic test cases using industry‑standard tools such as:

Vector CANoe / CANalyzer, Wireshark, Corvus (or equivalent EOL/diagnostics tools)

· Develop or update CANoe panels, CAPL scripts, and trace configurations where required.

· Perform log analysis and generate findings, defects, and recommendations.

· Support automation initiatives for regression testing and data generation.

3. Diagnostics & EOL Specification Understanding

· Interpret and validate diagnostic specifications, EOL/production test requirements, and ECU interface documents.

· Ensure diagnostic readiness for software builds and support Build Acceptance Test (BAT) cycles.

· Cross‑check ECU implementation against specification for UDS services, DID structures, routines, and DTC behavior.

· Collaborate with manufacturing/EOL teams to align diagnostic behavior with plant requirements.

Additional Responsibilities

· Generate structured V\&V evidence, data reports, and build readiness metrics for program leadership.

· Work with feature owners, ECU suppliers, and integration teams to close diagnostic issues.

· Contribute to continuous improvement of diagnostic validation processes and toolchains.

Required Skills & Experience

· Strong hands-on experience with UDS, CAN, CAN‑FD, DoIP, and Transport Layer diagnostics.

· Practical exposure to Vector tools, Wireshark, Corvus, and diagnostic scripting.

· Good understanding of automotive diagnostics architecture, DTC structures, service flows, and ECU communication.

· Ability to perform deep dive debugging and interpret logs from complex systems.

· Familiarity with EOL test flow, production constraints, and plant‑level diagnostic checks.

Preferred Qualifications

· Experience with automotive OEMs or Tier‑1 suppliers.

· Knowledge of ISO standards related to vehicle diagnostics.

· Background in embedded systems, mechatronics, automotive electronics, or related engineering field.

· Exposure to automation frameworks (Python, CAPL, REST APIs) is a plus.

In return for bringing your expertise to our business we offer a competitive salary along with excellent benefits including:

· Pension Scheme – We match employee contribution up to 5% of salary

· 25 Days’ Holiday

· Private Health Care
