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.

## 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.
