Digital Key Calibration & Validation Engineer – Automotive

We are looking for a Digital Key Calibration & Validation Engineer to support Bluetooth-based Digital Key calibration for Android mobile devices across two vehicle models. The assignment involves manually calibrating and measuring Android phones to ensure reliable passive-start functionality, while meeting applicable regulatory, insurance, and user-experience requirements. The engineer will work closely with technical experts and vehicle teams to establish the calibration environment, perform measurements, document results, and provide regular progress updates. Key Responsibilities

• Set up and establish the required Digital Key calibration and measurement environment.
• Review and understand calibration requirements, test procedures, and applicable tools.
• Receive initial training from technical experts and apply the calibration methodology independently.
• Perform manual Bluetooth Digital Key calibration for Android smartphones, one device at a time.
• Calibrate and measure approximately 60+ Android phones across two vehicle models.
• Adjust calibration parameters to achieve the required distance accuracy, passive-start performance, and user experience.
• Perform verification and validation activities to confirm calibration results meet defined requirements.
• Record calibration values and test results for each phone and vehicle combination.
• Identify, investigate, and report calibration issues, deviations, and technical risks.
• Prepare and maintain accurate test and calibration documentation.
• Provide daily status updates covering progress, risks, and issues.
• Prepare weekly progress reports and contribute to the final calibration report.
• Collaborate with engineering teams and technical experts to resolve calibration-related issues.
• Ensure all calibration activities are completed according to the agreed plan and priorities.
