Job description

• Integrate embedded software, ECUs, sensors, actuators, and communication networks (e.g., CAN, LIN, Ethernet).


• Design and implement robust automated test frameworks for ECU and software-in-the-loop (SIL), hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), and vehicle-level testing.


• Develop test scripts using Python, CAPL, or similar scripting languages.


• Automate regression test suites for automotive applications across CAN, LIN, FlexRay, and Ethernet communication protocols.


• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI, or similar).


• Configure HIL/SIL setups to validate new software releases quickly and efficiently.


• Ensure test coverage against system and software requirements using tools like DOORS, Polarion, or Jama. Document automated test cases, procedures, and results in alignment with project requirements, provide regular test status reports and metrics to stakeholders.


• Conduct root cause analysis on test failures and provide actionable feedback to developers.


• Ensure testing processes comply with ASPICE guidelines and ISO 26262 functional safety standards.


• Collaborate with SW, HW teams, suppliers, function owners to ensure streamlined integration and test implementation, trouble shooting on test assets.


• Test bench integration across diverse systems, ECU's, control units, sensors, and actuators into HIL system.


• Validates and troubleshoots simulator, automation solutions, vehicle systems within test environment for early detection and resolution/debug EE system components HW/SW issues.


• Testing experience using Hardware in the Loop equipment, software (e.g. dSpace, National Instruments), embedded controller networks (CAN, LIN) and the use of ECU diagnostic and network communication tools (e.g. CANoe, CANalyzer, Vehicle Spy)
