Test and validation engineer

We are seeking a skilled Test and Validation Engineer to join our team, focusing on Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing for embedded systems within the automotive sector.

The successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring the performance, reliability, and compliance of automotive electronic control units (ECUs) and systems through rigorous validation and testing on HIL benches:

• Design and develop test cases to validate automotive ECUs and subsystems on HIL platforms.
• Execute validation campaigns to ensure compliance with system requirements and specifications.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues with HIL benches, ensuring smooth testing operations.
• Regularly update simulation models and test scenarios to reflect evolving system requirements.
• Develop automated test scripts using tools like Python, CAPL, or MATLAB to streamline validation processes.
• Integrate test cases into Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines for efficient testing workflows.
• Analyze test results to identify issues in software or hardware performance.
• Provide detailed test reports, including test coverage, defect trends, and validation status.
• Validate communication protocols (e.g., CAN, LIN, FlexRay, Ethernet) and system interactions.
• Ensure that all testing activities comply with automotive standards such as ISO 26262, ASPICE, and relevant OEM guidelines.

Master’s degree (BAC+5) from an engineering school or university specializing in embedded systems, or justifying an equivalent significant experience.
