We are currently looking for experienced and motivated candidates for the role of Virtualization and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) Integration Engineer to support our Test Environment Agile Release Train (SIL ART).

This role is part of a group responsible for creating virtual in-the-loop environments to enable development, verification and validation of embedded controllers and calibrations for hybrid, electrification, thermal management systems, body controls, vehicle lighting, occupant comfort, engine, transmission, chassis, and intelligent brake controls.

The Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) Simulation Integration Engineers (SIE) are ultimately responsible to deliver a quality simulation environment on time to meet the customers’ requirements. This position requires an individual with a passion for modeling, an adept knowledge of system simulation and integration, and demonstrated capability for managing a wide variety of technical and customer needs.

What You’ll Do

• Create virtual controller models to be used across different simulations
• Create, maintain and test virtual controller components such as HWIO (Hardware Input/Output), RTOS (Real Time Operating System), communication models, etc.
• Obtain, develop & parameterize sub-system models, such as sensors and actuators, and ECU behavioral models
• Integrate Plant models and other ECU models into a dynamic virtual simulation
• Create and maintain detailed documents for each release
• Provide support for released simulations and assist with user testing and troubleshooting

Your Skills & Abilities (Qualifications)

• Bachelors degree in any engineering discipline is required
• 3+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 1 year of integration experience
• Proficient in Embedded C and Python
• Adept experience with MATLAB and Simulink in context of plant model development and integration and basic usage (or familiarity) of additional simulation tools (e.g. GT-Power, AMESIM, Carsim)
• Understanding of embedded controls software and the automated software build processes including gcc compiler, gdb debugger, Eclipse, Jenkins and ETAS INCA tools
• Familiarity with automotive communication technologies such as CAN, LIN, and SPI
