Job description

Valeo is a tech global company, designing breakthrough solutions to reinvent the mobility. We are an automotive supplier partner to automakers and new mobility actors worldwide. Our vision? Invent a greener and more secured mobility, thanks to solutions focusing on intuitive driving and reducing CO2 emissions. We are leader on our businesses, and recognized as one of the largest global innovative companies.

Key Responsibilities

Architecture & Security-Focused Development ECU Architecture: Define robust software architectures for vehicle ECUs with a strong focus on cybersecurity and functional safety (ISO 26262/ASIL).

Agile Development: Lead architectural sprints within an Agile framework, ensuring incremental delivery of high-quality, security-compliant software features.

MBD Strategy: Enforce MAAB Guidelines and ensure model compliance for efficient Code Generation (Embedded Coder) and seamless integration into the target hardware.

Simulation & Evaluation Environment (MILS/HILS) Environment Creation: Architect and deploy evaluation environments for ADAS features using Model-in-the-Loop (MILS) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HILS) simulations.

Scenario Design: Design complex test scenarios based on functional specifications using CarMaker or CarSim, replicating real-world driving conditions.

Data-Driven Validation: Develop test cases for MILS/HILS derived from real driving data, ensuring the virtual environment accurately reflects physical road behavior.

Automation & Verification Test Automation: Automate the execution of test scenarios and regression suites to accelerate the validation loop (utilizing Python/MATLAB scripts).

Logic Verification: Verify control logic robustness through rigorous MILS/HILS testing before physical vehicle integration.

Toolchain Management: Manage the integration of verification tools (dSPACE ControlDesk, Vector CANoe) into the architectural workflow.

Domain Expertise (ADAS)

• Automatic Parking (APA/RPA)
• Advanced Emergency Braking System (AEBS)
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
• Lane Departure Control / Prevention System (LDW/LKA/LDP)

Key Qualifications

• MBD Core: Expert in MATLAB and Simulink.
• Code Generation: Strong proficiency in Embedded Coder for production code generation.
• Simulation Tools: Hands-on experience with CarMaker or CarSim for vehicle dynamics simulation.
• Validation Tools: Proficiency with dSPACE ControlDesk and Vector CANoe / CAPL scripting.
• Automation: High proficiency in Python for scripting, data analysis, and test automation.
