Location:

Auburn Hills, MI

Duration:

Long Term

Position Summary
yStellantis is seeking a highly motivated

EE Systems Validation Enginee r to be responsible for validating next-generation electrical systems, automotive body controls, infotainment, propulsion, or active safety systems. This role requires extensive use of

CAN network testin g protocols and

Vector toolchain s to test, troubleshoot, and isolate software/hardware defects across multiple test properties, including Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) environments, bench setups, and prototype vehicles. The ideal candidate will bridge the gap between requirements and execution, acting as a quality gate to ensure robust, production-ready vehicle software.

Key Responsibilities

Test Design & Execution: Develop, update, and execute structured Design Verification Plans (DVP) and test procedures based on functional component and system requirement

Network & Diagnostic Verification: Conduct deep-dive network validation, monitoring vehicle bus communications utilizing CAN, CAN FD, and L

Vector Tool Utilization: Leverag e Vector tools (CANoe, CANalyzer) to log bus traffic, simulate electronic control unit (ECU) nodes via CAPL scripting, and perform diagnostic trouble code (DTC) analysis

Environment Testing: Perform validation testing across multiple domains: Subsystem Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL), Vehicle-HIL (VHIL), component test benches, and full production fleet vehicle

Root Cause & Issue Management: Track, perform initial triage, and analyze data for software/hardware anomalies. Document issues using internal Stellantis defect tracking systems (e.g., GIMs/PITS/IMS) and work cross-functionally with feature owners and tier-1 suppliers to drive resolution

Continuous Automation: Implement automated testing methodologies to increase regression test coverage, validating Firmware Over-The-Air (FO)TA updates and diagnostic compliance

Required Skills & Qualifications

Education: Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related STEM degree fie

Experience: Minimum of 2–5 years of working experience in automotive engineering, specifically within software validation, embedded controls, or EE testing environmen

Core Communications: Solid understanding of automotive networking protocols, particularly CAN (Controller Area Netwo)rk, CAN FD, and automotive diagnosti

Tools Toolchain Experience: Hands-on proficiency with Vector Tools (CANoe, CANalyzer). Experience configuring simulation networks, loading databases (.dbc, .arxml), and capturing/analyzing trac

Hardware Testing: Familiarity interfacing with HIL Simulators (e.g., dSPACE, NI) and standard electrical bench debugging equipment (Oscilloscopes, Digital Multimeter

Soft Skills: Excellent verbal and written English communication skills to effectively collaborate across multi-cultural matrix organizations and supplier tea

Preferred Qualifications (Nice-to-Have)

Demonstrated proficiency writing CAPL scripts or Pyhton for test environment automation and message simulation

Prior experience with Stellantis internal processes, engineering validation standards, and quality management frameworks (DFMEA, DVP&R).R)

Experience validating Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) architectures or ADAS/Active Safety modu

Certified in reactive quality methodologies (e.g., Shainin Red X, Kepner-Tregoe, Green Belt/Black Belt problem solv
