Design & Development: Create, develop, and maintain automated test frameworks, test plans, and test cases specifically for VCU software using HIL systems
Test Execution: Configure and execute HIL tests to validate VCU functionalities, including control algorithms, vehicle dynamics, and communication protocols
Analysis & Reporting: Analyze test results, identify, document, and track software defects and issues, and collaborate with development teams to ensure timely resolution
HIL System Management: Maintain and update HIL test setups and tools (e.g., dSPACE, Vector CANoe, MATLAB/Simulink) to ensure they accurately simulate real-world vehicle conditions
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with software, hardware, and controls engineers to understand system requirements and ensure testability from the initial design phase

Requirements:

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
8+ years of experience in software testing, with a focus on embedded systems and HIL testing, preferably within the automotive or aerospace industry
Hands-on experience with HIL test environments such as dSPACE, Vector, or National Instruments
