Job Description

The Virtual Test Engineer will own the end‑to‑end test engineering for virtual ECUs—from V‑ECU creation (AUTOSAR Classic/Adaptive) and restbus/environment modeling, to deterministic simulation, fault injection, conformance, diagnostics/flash, and scalable CI execution. You will build and operate a virtual test platform that exercises production software stacks (communication, diagnostics, safety/security, OTA readiness) with measurable coverage and release‑grade. You partner with software, systems, safety, cybersecurity, HIL, and OTA teams to ensure the virtual pipeline finds defects earlier than HIL/vehicle, at fleet scale.

Job Responsibility

  • Ownership of Virtual Test topics in NAR markets
  • Own the relationship with network operator, contract manufacturer, platform provider and lead strategic discussions and technical negotiations
  • Serve as technical authority for V‑ECU testing
  • mentor engineers in XiL best practices, determinism, and modeling trade‑offs
  • Drive supplier alignment (Tier‑1/2) for virtual deliverables (V‑ECU packages, ARXML/ODX/OTX, service catalogs, security plugins)
  • Conduct design/test reviews, DFMEA/FMEA, and lead 8D on defects discovered in SIL with crisp reproduction artifacts
  • Define the V‑ECU generation strategy for AUTOSAR Classic (RTE + BSW abstraction, virtual MCAL stubs) and Adaptive (POSIX targets, ara::com SOME/IP bindings), including OS abstraction, timers, time‑warp, and determinism controls
  • Select and integrate V‑ECU platforms (e.g., dSPACE VEOS/SystemDesk, Vector vVIRTUALtarget/CANoe4SW Server, ETAS COSYM/ASCET, AVL VIRTUAL TESTBED, Wind River Simics, Imperas/OVPsim, QEMU/Renode‑based flows) and manage tool qualification where applicable
  • Establish co‑simulation topologies: MIL/Plant models (Simulink/Modelica/FMU/FMI), bus/network simulators, and virtualization of sensors/actuators with IO semantics and timing fidelity
  • Model and validate Automotive Ethernet stacks: SOME/IP & SOME/IP‑SD, DoIP, AVB/TSN where applicable
  • simulate VLAN/QoS and congestion scenarios
  • Exercise CAN/CAN‑FD, LIN, FlexRay via restbus simulations
  • verify UDS services, ISO‑TP segmentation and XCP/CCP measurement/calibration flows
  • Implement DoIP‑routed UDS flashing in SIL with eligibility/state checks, A/B or recovery slots, anti‑rollback, and bootloader handshake emulation (timings, NRCs)
  • Develop restbus models for gateways, sensors, actuators, and peer ECUs using Vector CANoe/CAPL (incl. CANoe4SW Server), Python, and co‑simulation bridges
  • Build service catalogs and SOME/IP service mocks, including late‑joiner/re‑announce behaviors and instance collision tests
  • emulate SecOC/E2E protections
  • Create plant models (Simulink/Modelica, FMU/FMI) for closed‑loop testing of control functions
  • parameterize with production DBC/ARXML/LDF
  • Execute fault campaigns: bus saturation, frame loss/reordering, clock drift, time sync perturbations (gPTP), power cycles/brown‑outs (virt), memory pressure, and network fuzzing (UDS/DoIP/SOME‑IP)
  • Apply protocol fuzzing (boofuzz, Scapy, Peach, AFL++ harnesses), mutation testing, and error seeding to validate diagnostic/communication hardening
  • Model electrical transients (ISO 7637‑2, load dump) effects at the software boundary and verify recovery logic within the V‑ECU
  • Architect headless SIL farms (Docker/K8s runners, ephemeral test environments) executing parallel suites (thousands of SIL testcases per commit/nightly)
  • Integrate CI/CD (Jenkins/GitLab/Azure DevOps), artifact management (SBOM: SPDX/CycloneDX), test results (JUnit/Allure), and flaky test quarantine + triage dashboards
  • Implement golden capture/compare pipelines (PCAP/MDF4/CSV) and scenario versioning (OpenSCENARIO/OpenDRIVE/ASAM OSI if AD/ADAS is in scope)

Requirements

  • Excellent strategically thinking and communication skills
  • Analytical and conceptual thinking
  • Experience in developing strategies for R&D
  • Communication skills - interpersonal, presentation and written
  • Integration - joining people, processes or systems
  • Influencing and negotiation skills
  • Strategic/visionary minded
  • Resource management
  • Interest in designing systems
  • Knowledge of communication HW & SW architecture and hardware development processes
  • Excellent communication
  • proven cross‑functional leadership across hardware, software, cloud, manufacturing, compliance, and program management
  • Deep understanding of typical vehicle EE architectures and automotive development processes
  • Deep expertise in SOME/IP/SOME‑IP‑SD, DoIP, UDS/ISO‑TP, CAN/CAN‑FD/LIN, and restbus modeling
  • hands‑on with ODX/OTX and XCP
  • Proven delivery of CI‑scale virtual test grids (parallel headless execution, artifacted evidence, flake management)
  • Strong command of coverage engineering (MC/DC, model & code coverage), fault injection/fuzzing, and performance/timing analysis in virtual environments
  • Demonstrated experience with MISRA, static analysis, sanitizers, and traceability (Polarion/Codebeamer)
  • 7+ years of hardware or software development experience for connectivity functions in a vehicle manufacturer or supplier
  • 5+ years of working in automotive projects including communication technology, ADAS or automation
  • BS in Engineering

Nice to have

  • MS and/or PhD in Engineering
  • V‑ECU generation using VEOS/SystemDesk, vVIRTUALtarget/CANoe4SW, or COSYM
  • co‑sim with FMU/FMI and plant models
  • TSN budget analysis (gPTP domains, Qav/Qbv scheduling) for AV/service traffic in SIL
  • Virtual UDS flashing including A/B slots and anti‑rollback
  • security hardening (SecOC, TLS/mTLS) validated in SIL
  • Experience scaling SIL in Kubernetes with observability (OpenTelemetry + ELK/Grafana) and SBOM/attestation in release flow
  • Exposure to ADAS scenario‑based validation (OpenSCENARIO/OSI) and cloud‑scale simulation
  • Knowledge of VW Group product design requirements
  • Programming experience with the languages C, C++, Java, Python, and script languages

What we offer

  • Eligibility for annual performance bonus
  • Healthcare benefits
  • 401(k), with company match
  • Defined contribution retirement program
  • Tuition reimbursement
  • Company lease car program
