• Set up and maintain HMI validation benches and test equipment
• Participate in FMEA, design reviews, NPI, and continuous improvement activities

Required Background

• Bachelor’s degree with 5–7 years of relevant experience
• Associate degree candidates may be considered with approximately 9 years of experience
• Master’s degree candidates may be considered with approximately 3 years of experience
• Hands‑on experience with requirements engineering and validation and verification
• Experience developing and executing test plans and test cases
• Experience validating HMI applications, embedded systems, controls, ECUs, dashboards, instrument clusters, or similar electronic systems
• Familiarity with test automation and scripting, preferably Python

Preferred Experience

• CAN, J1939, CDL, or Modbus communication
• CANalyzer, CANape, CADET, ModSim, or similar validation tools
• Linux environments such as Ubuntu or Debian
• Requirements‑to‑test traceability
• FMEA and structured risk analysis
• Embedded software and system integration testing

The work environment is approximately 50% office and 50% laboratory, with no travel required.
