Rigorous Verification & Validation: The Bedrock of Safety

In the automotive world, there is no room for error. Embien’s V&V services are designed to ensure that every component and line of code performs flawlessly under all possible conditions. We employ a multi-layered testing strategy that identifies and mitigates risks early in the development cycle. Our state-of-the-art testing facilities and methodologies include:

Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Testing: We simulate the entire vehicle environment, allowing us to test real ECUs against a vast range of scenarios—from normal operation to edge cases and fault injections—without needing a physical prototype vehicle.
Model-in-the-Loop (MIL) & Software-in-the-Loop (SIL): Before hardware is even available, we validate control algorithms and software logic in pure simulation environments, ensuring correctness from the very beginning.
Automated Test Frameworks: We develop and deploy custom automated test jigs and scripts that dramatically increase test coverage, improve repeatability, and accelerate the validation timeline.

Adherence to Global Automotive Standards

Compliance is not an afterthought; it's embedded in our DNA. Our development processes are meticulously aligned with the most stringent global automotive standards, guaranteeing that our deliverables meet the highest benchmarks for quality, safety, and reliability.

ISO 26262 (Functional Safety): Our team is proficient in all aspects of the functional safety lifecycle, from Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HARA) to developing software compliant with Automotive Safety Integrity Levels (ASIL) up to ASIL-D.
