Quest Global Hiring Telematics Validation Engineer (Chennai) | Full-Time

Job Summary

Quest Global is looking for a motivated Telematics Systems Validation Engineer with experience in Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing, embedded software validation, Python test automation and electronic control systems. The role involves validating telematics software in HIL simulation environments that emulate machine and engine behavior under real-world operating and fault conditions.

The ideal candidate can understand system requirements, design complex validation scenarios, run automated and manual tests, analyze logs, identify software defects and work with global engineering teams. Experience with dSPACE HIL systems, embedded controls, CAN/J1939 communication and telematics technologies is highly preferred.

Key Responsibilities

HIL Testing and System Validation

• Analyze telematics software and system requirements.
• Develop traceable test scenarios and validation strategies.
• Execute functional, integration, system, fault injection, negative and regression testing.
• Validate telematics functionality under simulated real-world conditions.

Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL)

• Configure, operate and maintain HIL environments.
• Troubleshoot HIL benches and simulation setups.
• Support hardware interfaces, wiring harnesses and plant models.
• Ensure reliability and repeatability of HIL validation platforms.

Python Test Automation

• Develop and maintain automated validation frameworks using Python.
• Build reusable automated test libraries.
• Improve test coverage, efficiency and repeatability.
• Automate execution and reporting processes.

Defect Investigation and Root Cause Analysis

• Analyze logs, network traces and system behavior.
• Identify software defects and validation gaps.
• Differentiate product issues from test environment issues.
• Reproduce defects, support root-cause investigations and verify fixes through retesting.

Collaboration and Reporting

• Communicate test findings, risks and validation status.
• Work closely with software teams, systems engineers, embedded engineers and global validation teams.
• Take part in reviews and project discussions.
