We’re seeking a Director of Test Strategy & Toolchain Innovation to lead the transformation of our global testing infrastructure and strategy across the entire EV manufacturing lifecycle. In this pivotal leadership role, you’ll architect and own the end-to-end testing ecosystem—from component-level diagnostics to fully automated end-of-line (EOL) system validation.

This isn’t just about quality assurance. It’s about redefining how we build, validate, and scale next-generation electric mobility solutions—with speed, precision, and intelligence. You’ll sit at the intersection of software, systems, and production, collaborating with Product, Engineering, and Manufacturing leaders across Europe and beyond.

Your Mission

• Own and evolve our global test architecture and strategy across embedded systems, modules, and full vehicle platforms.
• Design a future-proof testing toolchain that supports product innovation, digital transformation, and high-volume production.
• Build and lead a multidisciplinary team of engineers, defining test methodologies that mirror real-world user behavior.
• Introduce AI- and data-driven test automation, predictive diagnostics, and rapid failure analysis.
• Align test capabilities with evolving software architectures, embedded platforms, and manufacturing goals.
• Act as the executive point of contact for test strategy across internal functions and external partners.
• Champion innovation in validation—from simulation frameworks to end-of-line systems—ensuring scalability, reliability, and speed.

What You Bring

• 10+ years of experience in test strategy, embedded systems validation, or engineering leadership—ideally within automotive, EV, or high-tech manufacturing.
• Proven ability to lead cross-functional engineering teams across software, systems, and hardware domains.
• Hands-on experience with test automation frameworks, diagnostics, and simulation tools.
• Deep knowledge of operating systems like Linux, FreeRTOS, and scripting in Python, PowerShell, or similar.
• Familiarity with AI/ML-enabled test approaches and data-driven optimization is a major plus.
• Strong systems thinking—able to bridge the gap between technical depth and business impact.
• Track record of driving change, scalability, and innovation in complex engineering environments.

Why Join Us

• Shape the testing backbone of a rapidly scaling e-mobility pioneer with global impact.
• Collaborate with forward-thinking leaders in product, embedded systems, and manufacturing.
• Innovate in a high-tech industrial environment that values speed, quality, and sustainability.
• Be empowered to lead, experiment, and deliver—your ideas won’t get stuck in layers of red tape.
• Competitive compensation, relocation support, and a rare opportunity to leave your mark on the future of clean transport.
