The Qualification Testing (ICE and BEV) team operates within the Vehicle & Propulsion Controls organization and is responsible for ensuring software readiness and validation integrity across all propulsion programs.

The Validation Project Lead is accountable for defining and executing the qualification strategy, ensuring complete validation coverage, traceability, and release readiness for powertrain control systems.

• Lead validation strategy across ICE and BEV propulsion systems, including identification of critical scenarios, edge‑case maneuvers, and risk‑based test prioritization.
• Evaluate and refine system and software requirements to ensure testability, completeness, and alignment with validation intent.
• Determine and coordinate appropriate validation environments (HIL, vehicle, bench) to optimize coverage, efficiency, and issue detection.
• Drive issue identification and pre‑analysis activities, enabling rapid root cause isolation and resolution in collaboration with Controls, Diagnostics, and Calibration teams.
• Ensure execution of qualification testing and validation activities, maintaining alignment with release readiness, quality targets, and program timelines.
• Provide visibility to validation status, risks, and coverage across propulsion programs, supporting data‑driven release decisions.
