Meet the team:
The Engineering Quality team plays a critical role in Torc’s product development lifecycle (PDLC) by helping ensure that systems and software are developed in accordance with defined quality processes, engineering standards, and applicable safety and regulatory expectations. The team works collaboratively across engineering divisions to prevent defects, improve development processes, assess the quality of engineering work products, and strengthen compliance throughout the product development lifecycle. Within Operational Safety and Engineering Quality, the Engineering Quality Management (EQM) team provides quality assurance activities by applying the Quality Management System (QMS), supporting process adherence, and promoting complete end-to-end traceability of the product digital thread. EQM works with Systems, Software, Hardware, and Verification and Validation teams to support the integrity of engineering deliverables and the objective evidence needed for product milestones and releases.
What you’ll do:
The Engineer II – Systems and Software Quality is an individual contributor within the Engineering Quality Management (EQM) team. This role supports the definition, implementation and execution of engineering quality assurance activities across systems and software development for Torc’s autonomous driving product line. The engineer works with Systems, Software, Hardware, and Verification and Validation teams, and other cross-functional teams to assess process adherence, improve work products, maintain end-to-end traceability, and ensure that objective evidence is available to support product milestones and releases.
A successful candidate will be detail-oriented, collaborative, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, safety-critical engineering environment. The candidate will apply quality practices and relevant industry standards to identify gaps early, help resolve process issues, and strengthen the integrity of engineering deliverables and the product digital thread.
Responsibilities
Support the implementation and continuous improvement of engineering quality processes, and collaborate with Systems, Software, Hardware Development, and V&V teams throughout the product lifecycle.
Review systems and software work products for completeness, consistency, process adherence, and objective evidence across requirements, architecture, design, implementation, integration, verification, and validation.
Assess end-to-end bidirectional traceability from product and system requirements through software requirements, design, implementation, test cases, results, anomalies, and release evidence; identify and help resolve traceability gaps.
Verify requirements allocation and verification linkage and confirm that changes are assessed for impact and that affected work products and trace links are updated before baselining or release.
Perform process and work-product assessments against Torc’s QMS, engineering procedures, project plans, and applicable standards, including ISO 26262, ASPICE, ISO/SAE 21434, ISO 21448, and ISO 9001.
Document quality risks, nonconformities, and work-product gaps; support root cause analysis and track corrective and preventive actions through closure.
Support internal and external audits/assessments by preparing objective evidence, reviewing artifacts, and coordinating responses to assessment findings.
Monitor and report quality and traceability measures, including requirement coverage, verification linkage, review status, open findings, action closure, and baseline completeness.
Support release artifact readiness and configuration management by verifying that applicable work products, configuration items, and baselines are identified, versioned, controlled, and traceable in lifecycle tools.
Provide practical quality and process guidance to engineering teams, contribute to training and continuous improvement, and communicate assigned work progress, risks, and release concerns.
