## Description

The Software Integration Test Technician prepares vehicles and test environments, deploys software, executes integration tests, and helps investigate issues across vehicle electronic systems. Working with engineering teams, you'll document findings and support reliable, repeatable testing.

What you'll do...

 * Prepare prototype vehicles, lab benches, HIL systems, and test equipment for software integration and testing.
 * Bring vehicles and test assets to readiness, including flashing software, applying calibrations, configuring modules, and installing instrumentation.
 * Execute vehicle-level integration, functional, regression, and system tests; help develop repeatable test procedures.
 * Monitor vehicle behavior and analyze diagnostics, logs, measurements, and CAN, LIN, Ethernet, or other network data.
 * Reproduce and troubleshoot software and hardware integration issues, and share findings with engineering teams to support resolution.
 * Record test results, configurations, software versions, conditions, and defects in engineering and issue-tracking systems.
 * Support defect tracking and verification, prototype fleet readiness, and the setup, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of test assets.
 * Coordinate testing with engineering teams and support off-site testing at proving grounds and other development facilities as needed.
 * Follow safety practices, engineering procedures, release processes, and configuration-management requirements; identify opportunities to improve testing and documentation.
