Telematics Validation Engineer

Be Part Of A High-Performing Team:

Join a global engineering organization supporting advanced power, mobility, and digital technology solutions. This team is focused on connected-vehicle capabilities, telematics validation, OTA software updates, and cloud-to-device integration for complex engine and vehicle systems. The environment is technical, collaborative, and quality-driven, with a strong emphasis on reliable validation, clear documentation, and cross-functional support from development through release.

What's In Store For You:

Engagement: W2 only (no C2C/1099)

This is an onsite opportunity in Columbus, Indiana, supporting hands-on telematics and embedded validation work. The schedule is generally 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with flexibility within standard business hours. This role offers the opportunity to work across embedded systems, telematics devices, vehicle communication protocols, backend/cloud integration, and test automation in a structured engineering environment.

How You Will Make An Impact

Own end-to-end validation execution for telematics, connected services, OTA updates, and data-acquisition features.

Execute normal, negative, and edge-case test scenarios across embedded devices, ECMs, telematics hardware, and backend/cloud systems.

Troubleshoot complex system issues using CAN/J1939/UDS logs, device behavior, backend workflows, and test evidence.

Build or improve automation scripts and tools that increase test efficiency and expand validation coverage.

Document test results, defects, coverage, and reusable test artifacts within a Product Lifecycle Management system.

Communicate test progress, risks, blockers, and critical technical issues to project stakeholders in a timely and clear manner.

Support integration of digital solutions from development through release while maintaining strong validation standards.

Do you bring proven success in telematics validation and connected-vehicle testing?

Bachelor’s degree in a related field is required.

Advanced experience with telematics, connected-vehicle validation, OTA software-update workflows, and connected-services testing.

Strong embedded or device validation experience, including end-to-end test execution, issue debugging, and validation support across complex projects.

Advanced knowledge of vehicle communication protocols such as CAN, J1939, and UDS.

Hands-on experience using CANalyzer and/or PCAN tools for message analysis, simulation, troubleshooting, and log interpretation.

Basic understanding of cloud platforms and backend services such as Azure or AWS, especially as they relate to end-to-end integration testing.

Intermediate automation experience, including scripting or tool development to improve testing efficiency and coverage.

Experience working within Agile practices, including sprint-based testing, defect tracking, and progress reporting.

Ability to create clear test evidence, technical documentation, defect records, and reusable validation artifacts.

Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical issues clearly to engineering partners, project managers, and stakeholders.

Preferred experience improving validation processes, building reusable test frameworks, creating dashboards, or supporting cloud-to-device telematics architecture.
