Qualification
Required
Bachelor's Degree
At least 1 year of experience in data analysis, analytics, or systems level vehicle testing
Analytical skills, Troubleshooting (Problem Solving)
Analytical skills – Proficiency in end-to-end data analysis, including data ingestion, trend identification, and performance tracking. An ideal example would be a candidate who has designed a suite of tests, visualized the results through automated plotting, and synthesized complex data points into actionable conclusions or technical recommendations
Troubleshooting (Problem Solving) - Demonstrated ability to methodically diagnose technical failures, particularly within vehicle-based systems. For instance, if a feature fails to activate during a test drive, the candidate should be able to walk through their logical process: from checking logs and hardware connections to identifying software bugs. This also includes resolving environment-specific issues, such as troubleshooting failed software deployments or configuration errors on test devices
Hybrid position
Preferred
SQL – Ability to write complex SQL queries to extract, transform, and clean raw data from relational databases. The candidate should be comfortable using joins, aggregations, and subqueries to turn 'noisy' data into structured datasets ready for metric generation
Big Query – Hands-on experience navigating the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environment, specifically using BigQuery to query massive datasets. This includes an understanding of cost-efficient querying practices and the ability to manage data partitioned across different tables
Data Analysis – Beyond just viewing charts, this involves 'storytelling with data.' We are looking for the ability to look at disparate data sources, identify anomalies or correlations, and translate those findings into a clear narrative that explains system behavior
Data Governance – Experience implementing or adhering to frameworks that ensure data integrity, security, and privacy. This includes understanding PII (Personally Identifiable Information) handling, managing user access permissions, and ensuring data usage complies with organizational or regulatory standards
Data/Analytics dashboards – Experience building intuitive, interactive visualizations (using tools like Tableau, Looker, or Power BI). The candidate should be able to design dashboards that allow stakeholders to filter data and drill down into specific trends or timeframes effortlessly
Testing – Experience executing structured in-vehicle test plans. This includes validating that specific features (e.g., ADAS, Infotainment, or Connectivity) meet functional requirements under various real-world scenarios and documenting 'edge case' failures that occur outside of standard operating conditions
Business Intelligence - The ability to bridge the gap between technical data and business strategy. An ideal candidate uses BI tools to monitor Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and provides insights that directly influence product roadmaps or operational decisions
