automation

Develop comprehensive verification and validation plans for automotive software systems and features
Design and execute test cases and test scripts to verify system functionality, performance, and safety
Develop and implement automation scripts and tools to enhance testing efficiency and accuracy
Integrate hardware and software components to create reliable and scalable test environments
Lead debug of issues encountered, working with cross-functional teams across the organization on identifying root cause,

confirming fixes, and providing guidance on protecting against future regressions

Collaborate with cross-functional teams — including software developers, controls engineers, and systems engineers — to define

and implement V&V strategies

Continuously improve testing processes and tools to enhance efficiency and effectiveness
Prepare and present detailed reports on verification activities and results to stakeholders

You'll have:

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent combination of relevant education and

experience

5+ years of experience in the automotive or relevant industry
Strong understanding of automotive systems, embedded software, and control systems
Demonstrated experience with automotive testing instrumentation and tools
Proficiency in automotive communication protocols such as CAN, LIN, Ethernet, and FlexRay
Working knowledge of IDLs such as DBC, LDF, ARXML, and work with internal IDLs and frameworks
Experience with automotive or aerospace HIL test benches, particularly with dSPACE, Vector VT, or similar platforms
Experience writing and executing automated and manual tests
Deep expertise in the EE architecture and integration of complex automotive systems, including interactions across multiple

domains (e.g., body, powertrain, chassis, ADAS) and ECUs

Proven track record of collaborating with large, cross-functional teams across hardware, software, and systems engineering
Deep understanding of software development lifecycle and automotive testing methodologies
Experience in system-level debugging and root-cause analysis across software and hardware boundaries
Proficiency in understanding wiring and logical schematics, network diagrams, and harness drawings
Ability to define and drive system validation plan from concept to production

Even better, you may have:

Familiarity with safety-critical software development and industry standards like ISO 26262
Proficiency in programming languages such as C/C++, Python, or MATLAB
Experience testing fully electric vehicles
