Summary

As MOIA America, we develop and realize fully autonomous mobility and transportation services. Our mission is to make mobility-and transportation-as-a-service safe, accessible and most attractive for society. For that, we cover the entire ground from strategy and business development, software development and end-2-end integration, fleet operations to next-generation self-driving systems. Being the driver in Volkswagen Group initiative for mobility solutions, we're an integral part of Volkswagen Group's future success.

Brief Role Description

A Senior Connectivity Engineer responsible for leading end-to-end validation and integration of wireless communication systems across telecom, automotive, and IoT platforms. The role involves deep technical ownership of modem and connectivity features (5G/LTE, Wi-Fi, eSIM), system-level testing, and cross-domain integration spanning embedded devices, vehicle networks, and backend services. The position requires advanced troubleshooting, automation development, and collaboration with cross-functional teams to ensure robust, scalable, and high-quality connectivity solutions in complex, safety-critical environments.

Role Responsibilities

End-to-End System Integration & Connectivity Validation - 30%
  • Lead integration and validation of connectivity across telecom, automotive ECUs, IoT devices, and backend/cloud systems
  • Validate technologies including 5G (SA/NSA), LTE, Wi-Fi, eSIM, IMS, and NTN
  • Ensure seamless system-of-systems communication (device modem/ecu vehicle cloud)

Test Strategy, Design & Execution - 25%
  • Design and execute comprehensive test plans covering functional, protocol, regression, and black-box testing
  • Validate features such as eSIM, roaming, emergency services (eCall), and carrier aggregation
  • Ensure coverage of networking protocols (TCP/IP, MQTT, IMS signaling, etc.)

Performance, Stability & Field Validation - 20%
  • Conduct stability, MTBF, and performance testing
  • Execute drive tests to validate real-world scenarios (handover, weak/no signal, roaming)
  • Analyze KPIs such as throughput, latency, reliability, and power consumption
  • Lead and coordinate incident response for high-severity events
  • Conduct post-incident reviews and drive long-term remediation and resilience improvements

Automation, Debugging & Continuous Integration - 15%
  • Develop automation scripts using Python and Robot Framework
  • Integrate test suites into CI/CD pipelines and support SiL/HiL environments
  • Perform log analysis and root cause investigation using tools like QXDM, Wireshark, adb

Diagnostics, Quality Assurance & Collaboration - 10%
  • Perform ECU diagnostics and flashing using tools like ODIS; validate CAN/UDS communication
  • Manage defect lifecycle using JIRA/ALM tools and ensure release quality
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams and document test results, procedures, and best practices

Qualification requirements

Years of Relevant Experience:
  • 7-10+ years in connectivity, telecom, automotive, or embedded systems

Education:

Required

Desired
  • B.S. in Information Technology, Computer Science or equivalent work experience
  • Masters in Information Technology, Computer Science (or related education)

General Skills:
  • Exceptional communication skills
  • Strong system-level thinking (multi-domain integration)
  • Ability to work in cross-functional agile teams
  • Stakeholder and supplier coordination skills
