What is CAPL scripting?

CAPL (CAN Application Programming Language) is a scripting language developed by Vector Informatik, primarily used for simulation, testing, and automation of automotive networks, especially those based on the CAN (Controller Area Network) protocol. CAPL allows users to write custom scripts to simulate node behavior, automate test processes, and analyze communication within automotive ECUs. It's widely used in tools like CANoe and CANalyzer for developing and verifying automotive electronic systems.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a CAPL scripting engineer?

To thrive as a CAPL Scripting Engineer, you need strong programming skills in CAPL, a solid understanding of automotive communication protocols (such as CAN, LIN, or FlexRay), and a relevant engineering degree. Familiarity with Vector tools like CANoe, CANalyzer, and relevant certifications greatly enhance your technical abilities. Attention to detail, problem-solving, and effective communication are vital soft skills for debugging and collaborating with development teams. These competencies ensure reliable simulation, testing, and validation of automotive ECUs, which is essential for vehicle safety and performance.

What are some common challenges faced when writing CAPL scripts for automotive testing environments?

One of the main challenges in CAPL scripting is ensuring compatibility with a wide range of vehicle networks and electronic control units (ECUs), each with their own protocols and requirements. Debugging scripts can also be complex due to the real-time nature of automotive communication and the need to simulate various network conditions accurately. Additionally, CAPL developers often work closely with engineers from different domains, requiring strong communication skills and adaptability to quickly understand changing test requirements. Continuous learning is key, as automotive technologies and testing tools evolve rapidly.

What is the difference between Capl Scripting vs Automation Test Engineer?

AspectCapl ScriptingAutomation Test Engineer
Required CredentialsKnowledge of CAPL language, scripting skillsProgramming skills, testing certifications
Work EnvironmentAutomotive testing, vehicle network simulationSoftware testing across various industries
Industry UsagePrimarily automotive and embedded systemsIT, software development, quality assurance
Common Search IntentAutomotive testing automationSoftware testing automation tools

Capl Scripting is specialized for automotive network testing using the CAPL language, focusing on vehicle communication protocols. In contrast, Automation Test Engineers develop and implement automated testing solutions across various industries, often using different programming languages and tools. While both roles involve scripting and automation, Capl Scripting is industry-specific, whereas Automation Test Engineering has a broader application scope.

Job description

About Us

Rivian and Volkswagen Group Technologies is a joint venture between two industry leaders with a clear vision for automotive’s next chapter. From operating systems to zonal controllers to cloud and connectivity solutions, we’re addressing the challenges of electric vehicles through technology that will set the standards for software-defined vehicles around the world.

The road to the future is uncharted. By combining our expertise across connectivity, AI, security and more, we’ll map a new way forward. Working together, we’ll create a future that’s more connected, more intelligent, more sustainable for everyone.

Role Summary

As a Staff Regulatory Engineer, you will join a team working at the intersection of software engineering and global vehicle regulation - helping ensure that the next generation of software- and AI-defined vehicles meets the regulatory standards of every market we enter. You'll serve as the domain expert guiding development teams through increasingly complex regulatory requirements, with a particular focus on the challenges that come with scaling a unified software architecture across diverse programs and markets.

Responsibilities
  • Own the end-to-end regulatory view for a dedicated domain: from vehicle-level requirement intake through validation testing and independent sign-off, anticipating and addressing the complexities of evolving global regulations.

  • Serve as the regulatory subject-matter expert for assigned domains - providing authoritative guidance to engineering and homologation stakeholders on requirement interpretation, scope, and applicability.

  • Collaborate closely with software and systems engineering teams to integrate regulatory requirements proactively into the design process, minimizing compliance risk and schedule impact.

  • Author and maintain Homologation Design Validation Plans (DVPs): analyze applicable regulations; identify test obligations; build step-by-step test campaigns; and coordinate execution with internal teams and external test facilities.

  • Oversee regulation-to-code traceability and compliance documentation: ensure requirements are traceable to software components, and work with OEM homologation teams to compile and manage evidence for certification agencies and external labs.

  • Manage change impact: assess the regulatory consequences of software design changes, create RxSWIN change evidence, and provide an independent homologation view for software releases in assigned domains.

  • Contribute to team-wide initiatives that improve the scalability and quality of homologation delivery across multiple programs and markets.

Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.

  • Minimum 8 years of progressive experience in automotive product certification, product safety, or homologation.

  • Demonstrated subject-matter expertise in at least one of the following regulatory domains: Safety, ADAS and Automated Driving, Vehicle Access Systems, Lighting, Body and Closures, Occupant Visibility, Charging, Energy Management, Vehicle Driving Dynamics, Vehicle Modes and State Management, Diagnosis, Data Collection, Audio, Radio / Connectivity / eCall, or Privacy.

  • Familiarity with EU type approval processes (WVTA) and/or US self-certification procedures.

  • Proficiency in requirements management tools such as Jama, Codebeamer, or Flow.

  • Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively across functional teams in a software-centric automotive environment.

  • Proven ability to work independently and drive outcomes in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with systems and/or ECU development.

  • Hands-on experience with software-defined vehicles or OTA release processes, including regulatory impact assessment under UN-R 156.

  • Hands-on experience designing and executing regulatory validation test campaigns (DVP/DVP&R): test case authoring, pass/fail criteria definition, and formal sign-off documentation.

  • Familiarity with test automation frameworks and scripting (e.g., Python, CAPL, or similar) applied to vehicle system validation, including the ability to assess automation feasibility for regulatory test cases.
