Software Requirements & Release Engineer

General Responsibilities & Duties

• Analyze customer system electronics interface operational safety and validation inputs to identify software-relevant requirements and behaviours including interfaces with CAN serial Ethernet discrete I/O telemetry command-and-control messages sensor inputs actuator outputs vehicle status and system health reporting.

• Decompose higher-level requirements into clear concise feasible verifiable and traceable software requirements.

• Allocate requirements to the appropriate software layers and maintain traceability from source requirements through validation evidence.

• Work with project software engineering support and test and validation teams to allocate requirements across drivers hardware abstraction layers middleware application logic control laws diagnostics communication interfaces health monitoring and integration logic.

• Defines expected software behaviour for normal operation startup shutdown degraded modes invalid inputs communication loss timeouts fault conditions diagnostics recovery and safe-state logic in alignment with the overall system and/or subsystem operational behaviors.

• Develop acceptance criteria validation requirements test objectives test cases procedures expected results pass/fail criteria required logs and objective-evidence expectations in collaboration with the project team.

• Maintain bidirectional traceability among source requirements software requirements software components test cases execution results defects and verification evidence.

• Support and conduct unit component bench test-jig SWIL/HIL integration regression system and acceptance testing as applicable.

• Review logs test outputs anomalies defect reports and integration issues to determine whether requirements are satisfied or require clarification rework or retest.

• Works with software electronics systems mechanical test production quality and field teams to resolve requirements gaps interface issues implementation assumptions and validation concerns.

• Support requirements and design reviews validation and integration readiness release readiness ATP inputs verification reports and software release evidence packages.

• Collaborate with the project team to develop requirements validation plans test cases test procedures evidence reviews and verification recommendations within the assigned project scope.

• Support C Python scripting automation simulation utilities log-processing tools and validation-support software as required.

• Support controlled requirements baselines change-impact analysis configuration management version control and release documentation.

Essential Skills:

• Working knowledge of C and Python for software understanding scripting automation test support or validation utilities.

• Practical experience developing and using unit-test frameworks static-analysis and code-quality tools test jigs bench setups SWIL/HIL systems simulation environments and laboratory validation equipment.

• Experience with Git-based source-control platforms and continuous-integration tools including Gitea GitLab Bitbucket Jenkins or equivalent systems.

• Bash MATLAB/Simulink or related engineering scripting and automation tools.

• Ability to interpret interface control documents wiring information electrical schematics signal definitions I/O maps and software architecture information.

• Basic use of requirements management tools such as Codebeamer Polarion DOORS Jama Azure DevOps or equivalent.

• Basic use of Jira or other tools for issue defect workflow or project tracking tools.

• Microsoft Word and Excel for requirements traceability reporting and evidence management.

Additional Asset Skills:

• Project Management tools including scheduling tools such as MS project Project Insight etc.

• Requirements-based engineering verification validation and traceability using V-model W-model Agile or gated engineering lifecycles.

• Configuration management baseline control defect lifecycle change-impact analysis and release-readiness evidence.

• ISO 26262 DO-178C ARP4754A IEC 61508 MISRA-C MISRA-C or similar high-reliability engineering practices.
