Job description

We are seeking an Embedded Software Engineer to support the verification and validation of embedded control systems. This position will focus on developing, executing, and automating Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) testing using dSPACE, MATLAB/Simulink, and test automation tools. The engineer will also troubleshoot software and hardware integration issues and support system-level verification activities. Responsibilities

  • Develop and execute HIL/SIL verification test plans for embedded control systems and ECUs.
  • Configure, operate, and troubleshoot dSPACE and Vector-based test environments.
  • Develop automated test scripts and tools using Python and C/C++.
  • Perform embedded software verification using automated testing frameworks, including gtest.
  • Analyze test failures, investigate defects, and perform root-cause analysis.
  • Support ECU integration and system-level software/hardware verification.
  • Work with CAN/J1939 communication protocols and Vector tools such as CANoe and CANalyzer.
  • Use MATLAB/Simulink for embedded controls testing and model-based development.
  • Read electrical schematics and troubleshoot HIL/SIL hardware setups.
  • Collaborate with software developers, controls engineers, system integration engineers, and verification teams.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related field.
  • 2-4+ years of relevant professional experience.
  • Hands-on experience with HIL/SIL validation and testing.
  • Experience with dSPACE HIL systems and MATLAB/Simulink.
  • Experience with Python automation and C/C++.
  • Knowledge of CAN/J1939 communication protocols.
  • Experience with Vector CANoe and/or CANalyzer.
  • Experience with ECU validation, embedded controls testing, debugging, and root-cause analysis.
  • Ability to read electrical schematics and troubleshoot software/hardware test environments.
  • Strong problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.

What This Opportunity Offers

This position provides hands-on experience with advanced embedded control systems and both HIL and SIL verification. You’ll work with dSPACE, MATLAB/Simulink, automation frameworks, and production software while collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams in a fast-paced technical environment.
