• Lead Hazard Analysis of body control systems in their intended application.
• Develop a comprehensive DVP&R working with the development engineers to formulate, conduct, and capture validation tests at various levels (SIL, HIL, Component and Vehicle).
• Assist in troubleshooting issues found during validation testing.

This is what you'll need:
