Software Verification & Validation Engineer

Key Responsibilities:

• Define technical requirements and develop an optimized subsystem-based analytical and experimental verification plan in collaboration with Design Verification Plan and Report (DVPR) stakeholders.

• Make decisions related to verification and validation that impact product performance, reliability, and durability.

• Investigate and resolve potential system concerns by understanding causal mechanisms, recommending actions, and documenting results.

• Apply and improve verification and validation processes, including:

• Technical requirements analysis

• iDFMEA

• Engineering Standard Work (ESW)

• DVPR optimization

• Test standards and problem-solving tools (e.g., Integrity)

• Develop manual test procedures (STP) based on System Requirements Specifications (SRS) and MATLAB models.

• Develop automated test procedures (ATP) using NI TestStand and LabVIEW.

• Provide regular and timely updates to the Cummins Manager, including test script reviews and test result evaluations with the Team Lead.

• Collaborate effectively within a project team to ensure successful test execution.
