Test Automation Engineer - EE/SW Systems (Automotive)

Working within the SW Systems Integration team (on electrical side), you will develop automated test frameworks for HIL, SIL, and CI/CD pipelines. Script in Python/CAPL and ensure ASPICE and ISO 26262 compliance.

This is an excellent opportunity to leverage your knowledge of automotive ECUs and expand upon your software testing/test script creation experience., * 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.

Ideal candidates will have a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (such as Electrical/Computer Engineering) and 1 - 3 years of related job experience (and may include co-ops/internship experience)., * Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.

• Years of experience: 1 - 3 years
• Strong programming/scripting skills in Python, CAPL, or C/C++ for automation.
• Strong understanding, development and verification of plant and control models in MATLAB/Simulink for execution in hardware in the loop test environment, dSpace control desk and automation desk
• Strong understanding of 1st principles in Engineering, result/solution oriented.
• Familiarity with SW for embedded systems, EE systems and architecture
• Familiarity with A2B, CAN, Automotive Ethernet, LIN, LVDS communication protocols and Vehicle Network tools, such as CANalyzer, CANoe, etc.(
• Knowledge of Automotive design and development process, system requirements, and general engineering best practices
