Skills Required

Software Testing, Python, Technical Analysis

• Software Testing – The role is validating PCM software in a vehicle environment. Candidate should be capable of reading C code, understanding its impact/function in a real testing environment. Candidate should be able to take requirements create test cases and validate those test cases for system performance. Should also be able to debug software issues in a real testing environment. HIL experience would be a plus, there is opportunity to be cross trained on HIL.
• Python – Ideal candidate should be able to write/modify python code. This role currently has a legacy suite of python code that is critical to be maintained/updated so they should be comfortable maintaining legacy python code and writing new features/code as required.
• Technical Analysis – Issue we typically face in this role can be complicated across many software functions. Candidate should be able to take complex software engineering issues and apply good engineering principles to help debug issues as they occur.

Experience Required

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Computer, or related field) or a closely related discipline. • 1+ years of experience in automotive embedded systems software validation or development. • 1+ years of experience in developing and maintaining automated test scripts and analysis tools, with demonstrated proficiency in Python or a similar scripting language. • Proficiency with automated issue tracking and reporting systems, such as JIRA. • 1+ years of experience with calibration methodologies and tools (e.g., ATI Vision, ETAS INCA). • 1+ years of experience with CAN networks and On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) systems, including demonstrated ability to utilize related tools (e.g., CANalyzer, PTDiag). • Ability to read, interpret, and debug embedded C code and/or Model-Based Design (MBD) models, with experience participating in code reviews for root cause identification. • 1+ years of experience with module emulators and interfaces (e.g., M5, M6, A8, A9, ETK, XETK). • Must be capable of performing normal driving procedures on public roads in various conditions and in all Client-produced vehicles.

Experience Preferred

• Solid understanding of Client Global Product Development System (GPDS) deliverables and reporting processes. • Proficient in using engineering management and data analytic tools (e.g., Excel, SharePoint). • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical information clearly. • Outstanding organizational skills and demonstrated strong team leadership behaviors. • Valid Client Tier II certification. • Solid understanding of vehicle structure, subsystems, and components across various powertrains (e.g., Gasoline, Hybrid Electric, Battery Electric Vehicles - GAS, HEV, BEV). • Understanding of Module hardware/software architectures (e.g., Powertrain Control Module - PCM, Hybrid Control Module - HCM, Transmission Control Module - TCM, Body Control Module - BCM, Satellite processors like Anti-lock Braking System - ABS, Smart Junction Box - SJB). • Understanding of advanced testing methodologies and ability to utilize specialized test equipment (e.g., multi-meter, oscilloscope, logic analyzer).
