We are looking for a Senior OTA Conformance Test Engineer with proven, hands-on experience in test automation , a strong command of automotive communication protocols , solid vehicle diagnostics experience, and direct, practical experience flashing Ford vehicle modules .

This is a critical requirement for the role: candidates must be able to design and build automated test solutions from the ground up, have deep technical fluency in network communication and diagnostic standards, and demonstrate real-world experience flashing and diagnosing modules such as ADAS, Cluster, and AHU (Audio/Head Unit) in the context of OTA software update validation.

The selected candidate will work closely with development, automation, and hardware/software validation teams to ensure OTA updates meet customer specifications and industry standards.

Key Responsibilities

- Execute OTA network conformance testing to ensure compliance with customer specifications and automotive DoCAN standards, including ISO-15765 and ISO-14229 .
- Perform vehicle diagnostics using diagnostic tools and standard protocols (UDS/DoCAN) to identify fault codes (DTCs), verify module status, and validate proper system behavior before and after OTA updates.
- Flash and reprogram Ford vehicle modules (e.g., ADAS, Cluster, AHU , and other ECUs) as part of OTA update validation, verifying successful software installation and module behavior post-flash.
- Design, propose, and implement test automation frameworks and scripts , integrating internal tools and automation pipelines to reduce manual testing effort and significantly optimize validation turnaround times.



Strong automation skills are essential and heavily weighted in candidate evaluation.
- Apply deep, practical knowledge of automotive communication protocols (CAN, LIN, Ethernet) to identify and resolve hardware-software integration blockers , in collaboration with cross-functional teams and tools such as JFrog .
- Debug network timing and logic errors in customer ECUs at the protocol level, providing detailed technical feedback to the development team.
- Document, prioritize, and track issues using JIRA , ensuring full traceability throughout the validation process.
- Build and maintain automated test scripts using Python , CANalyzer , Visual Studio Code , and regular expressions for network traffic analysis and automated regression testing.
- Collaborate with network conformance automation teams to help adopt process improvements and expand automation coverage.

Requirements (Critical / Must-Have)

- Solid experience in vehicle diagnostics , including reading/clearing DTCs, interpreting diagnostic session data, and using diagnostic protocols (UDS/ISO-14229) to validate ECU health and software status.
- Hands-on experience flashing Ford vehicle modules , specifically ADAS, Cluster, and AHU ,



is a strong requirement — candidates must be comfortable working directly with module flashing/reprogramming tools and processes in a real vehicle/bench environment.
- Strong, demonstrable experience in test automation — ability to design, code, and maintain automated test suites independently (not just execute pre-built scripts).
- Solid, in-depth knowledge of automotive communication protocols , including CAN, LIN, and Ethernet , and diagnostic standards such as ISO-15765 (DoCAN) and ISO-14229 (UDS) .
- Prior experience in network conformance testing within automotive environments, ideally related to OTA updates.
- Hands-on experience with CANalyzer and CAN bus analysis tools.
- Proficiency in Python for scripting, automation, and data analysis (including regular expressions).
- Experience with issue/project tracking systems such as JIRA .
- Familiarity with artifact management tools such as JFrog .
- Ability to debug network communication issues at the ECU level and collaborate with development teams to resolve them.
- Ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams within agile frameworks.
- Nice to have: prior experience with HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) testing.

Additional Preferred Skills

- Knowledge of automotive OTA update industry standards (e.g., ISO 24089 , UNECE R156 ).
- Experience with vehicle cybersecurity as applied to OTA processes.
- Familiarity with additional Ford-specific modules beyond ADAS, Cluster, and AHU (e.g., BCM, PCM, TCU).
- Ability to propose and drive process/automation improvements that are adopted by other technical teams.
