We are looking for experienced ADAS On-Road Test Engineers to support an upcoming UK driving expedition for the CX1e and CC1e vehicle programs.

Both vehicles are built on the SEA 2+ 800V mechanical platform with the ZEEA2.5 electrical architecture. The ADAS sensor configuration includes 7 cameras and 3 radars (7V3R), supported by 12 ultrasonic sensors (USS) for parking functions. ADAS functions are governed by the ADCU (ADAS Domain Control Unit).

The assignment will focus on real-world, exploratory on-road ADAS testing in the UK, with an emphasis on identifying issues from a customer-driving perspective, as well as performance and tuning observations.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide two engineers per test vehicle:

  • 1 engineer for CX1e

  • 1 engineer for CC1e

• Plan and execute on-road ADAS testing and expedition activities across the UK.

• Develop route proposals covering:

  • Motorways / highways

  • Country roads

  • Urban environments

  • Day and night driving

• Work closely with client to define UK-specific test cases and testing requirements.

• Conduct primarily exploratory testing, driving the vehicles under normal customer-like conditions to identify real-world ADAS issues.

• Evaluate ADAS system performance, behavior, usability and tuning during different road and traffic conditions.

• Identify, document and prioritize issues discovered during driving.

• Use the vehicle's ADAS logging equipment to capture relevant data and evidence.

• Provide daily reports highlighting the most critical/top issues identified during the expedition.

• Prepare a final expedition report summarizing test activities, findings, key issues and observations.

• Support vehicle software updates during the expedition with online assistance from GTEU.

• Provide first-line support for vehicle-related issues during testing and coordinate second-line support with GTEU.

• Adapt testing schedules, routes and working hours when unforeseen situations or project requirements arise.

• Maintain effective communication with GTEU and other project stakeholders throughout the expedition.

GDPR & Data Compliance

• Ensure all collected test data, logs and issue reports are handled in accordance with GDPR requirements.

• Follow agreed anonymization strategies for recorded data.

• Ensure appropriate measures are followed when recording on public roads, including agreed methods of informing people that recording activities are taking place.

• Ensure secure and GDPR-compliant sharing of collected logs and test results with GTEU.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Proven experience in on-road ADAS testing.

• Strong experience with ADAS performance testing, validation and tuning.

• Experience in test planning and execution in expedition / field-testing environments.

• Experience conducting vehicle testing on public roads under real-world driving conditions.

• Ability to identify, analyze and clearly document ADAS system issues.

• Experience working with automotive test vehicles and vehicle data/logging systems.

• Ability to work independently while collaborating closely with engineering and development teams.

• Flexibility to adapt to changing routes, schedules, software updates and unexpected test situations.

• Fluent in English, both written and spoken.

• Willingness and ability to work flexible hours, including day and night driving.

• A valid driving license and ability to drive in the UK are required.

Preferred / Nice-to-Have

• Experience with ADAS sensor systems, including cameras, radar and ultrasonic sensors.

• Experience with ADCU / ADAS Domain Controllers.

• Experience in automotive performance and tuning activities.

• Experience with ADAS logging and data analysis tools.

• Previous experience with UK or European road testing.

• Experience with expedition-based vehicle validation projects.

• Chinese language skills within the team would be an advantage.

Project Coordination

• Coordinate the expedition team and daily activities.

• Act as the primary contact point between the supplier and GTEU.

• Coordinate route planning, schedules, reporting and issue escalation.

• Ensure compliance with agreed testing, GDPR and reporting procedures.

• Manage unexpected changes and ensure the team can respond quickly to emerging project requirements.
