• Client Software Organization (SWx) was established to build the most captivating experiences in the latest frontier of Automotive Technology. 
• As part of that foundation, we are seeking passionate and conscientious Soft and Virtual ECU engineer to develop the virtual test platforms(xIL) for the next generation vehicle controller testing, which includes soft and virtual ECU's generation (various virtual ECU levels), toolchain and methodology, integration, open loop and closed loop testing and deployment in different domains (ADAS/ AD, Energy, E-powertrain and Body, Cockpit and Connected services).

Position Requirements:

• You will be part of a global SW driven engineering organization with a modern state of the art agile culture.
• If you have a proactive quality mindset and a test from day one attitude, you will be the right candidate.
• We are looking for highly motivated Soft and Virtual ECU engineer to work side by side with SW development and test engineers within agile teams from the early design phase until validation.
• This new way of testing starts at day one by not only testing implementations and requirements but challenging design and logical architecture in the earliest phase driven by a test first/test right now mentality!
• Beside this proactive test first/test right now, mindset we seek for good expertise on the following:
• MBSE
• MBD
• Virtual and Soft ECU
• Software verification and validation methods
• In addition, you have the opportunity to set new benchmarks in terms of virtualization technologies, troubleshooting/ root causing/ resolving issues, automation and methodology by advancing CI/CD mindset on all abstraction levels starting with continuous design verification down to continuous testing and deployment in highly virtualized environments. You will be part of an interdisciplinary agile team designing and applying agile methods for new and advanced features including ADAS and EV systems.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related Engineering degree from an accredited university
• 2 years of experience developing virtual test platforms (MIL, SIL, HIL) in automotive applications
• Experience with virtualization, cosimulation and system integration toolchain (i.e. dSPACE, ETAS, VVirtualTarget, QTronic Silver, Model.CONNECT, VDK, Siemens etc.)
• Knowledge of CI/CD tools and methods
• Experience with model-based development tools such as MATLAB/SIMULINK
• Thorough understanding of embedded software development (C, C++), AUTOSAR software architecture, auto code generation process and tools and experience with software such as Visual Basic, Python, VBnet
• Knowledge of CAN and analysis tools
• Familiarity with SW version control
• Ability to troubleshoot and fix platform issues and systems focused
• Good understanding of ECU architecture and usage of SW emulators and/ or SW debuggers
• Good understanding of ECU Level vehicle features in at least one domain
• Experience in one scripting language or test automation tool

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience testing in multiple development contexts (Linux, AUTOSAR, Android)
• Experience with ADAS, Ethernet interfaces and modules
• Experience with 1-D physical modeling tools such as GT Power, AMESim and co-simulation tools
• Experience with data acquisition and analysis tools such as ETAS-INCA
• Experience with continuous integration, testing & deployment
• Experience with model driven test in early development stages (functional mockups, PoC's)
• Experience with dSPACE products
• ISTQB certification
