About the Role

As a Senior / Staff Test Automation Engineer you will design develop and execute automated test frameworks for complex automotive Electronic Control Units (ECUs) and virtual ECUs (vECUs). This role bridges the gap between low-level firmware and high-level vehicle applications. You will own the end-to-end automation pipeline across Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) environments which includes building custom HIL testing stations from scratch. Operating within a GNU/Linux ecosystem you will investigate complex system requirements to develop robust fail-safe test content for our next-generation Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) platform. Responsibilities

Responsibilities

• Automation Framework Development: Design build and maintain scalable automated test frameworks and scripts for embedded automotive systems using Python and C/C.

• HIL Bench Generation: Configure and build custom physical HIL test benches from the ground up integrating real vehicle ECUs with simulated real-time environment models.

• Requirements Investigation: Analyze and interpret technical specifications to author comprehensive automated test suites actively tracking down gaps in system requirements.

• Multi-Environment Execution: Execute automated test suites across SIL MIL and HIL setups.

• Analyze test captures isolate low-level system failures and generate detailed engineering reports.

• Protocol Verification: Validate automotive communication networks network topologies and diagnostic routing (e.g. CAN-FD LIN Automotive Ethernet UDS DoIP).

• CI/CD Integration: Integrate automated test loops directly into Git-driven CI/CD pipelines (such as GitLab CI or Jenkins) to support high-frequency regression farm execution.
