System Testing Engineer

We are looking for a skilled System Testing Engineer with experience in automotive embedded systems validation, Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL), Software-in-the-Loop (SIL), ECU testing, and test automation. The candidate will be responsible for executing system-level validation, troubleshooting technical issues, developing automation scripts, and ensuring the quality and reliability of automotive software and embedded systems.

Roles & Responsibilities

• Perform system-level testing and validation on HIL benches, ECU test benches, and vehicles.
• Execute functional, integration, and regression test scenarios.
• Identify, analyze, and troubleshoot system-level defects.
• Perform issue triaging and support root-cause analysis.
• Develop and enhance test automation scripts to improve validation efficiency.
• Analyze test results, diagnostic logs, and communication traces.
• Track defects and ensure proper documentation and closure.
• Collaborate with software development, system engineering, integration, and validation teams.
• Support continuous improvement of testing processes and validation quality.

Required Technical / Functional Skills

• Hands-on experience in Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) testing of automotive ECUs and embedded systems.
• Develop, maintain, and execute automated test scripts using Python, CAPL, Robot Framework, or equivalent automation tools.
• Perform ECU software flashing, configuration, coding, and diagnostics.
• Execute functional, integration, regression, and system-level testing on HIL rigs and ECU test benches.
• Perform issue triaging, defect reproduction, debugging, log analysis, and root-cause investigation.
• Strong understanding of automotive communication and diagnostic protocols, including CAN, CAN FD, LIN, UDS, and Automotive Ethernet (DoIP / SOME-IP).
• Develop and execute test cases based on system and software requirements.
• Analyze CAN, LIN, and Ethernet traces to identify communication and functional issues.
• Perform vehicle-level functional and diagnostic validation, including defect reproduction and verification.
• Document and report defects with detailed logs, communication traces, reproduction steps, and technical evidence.
• Work closely with cross-functional engineering teams to support defect resolution.
• Contribute to improving test automation, validation processes, and regression test coverage.

Generic / Managerial Skills

• Effective communication and collaboration skills.
• Ability to coordinate with geographically distributed engineering teams.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving abilities.
• Experience in defect tracking, issue reporting, and status management.
• Ability to manage testing activities and deliverables within defined timelines.
• Good documentation and technical reporting skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Electronics, Automotive, Instrumentation, or Computer Engineering.
• Experience in automotive embedded systems and ECU validation.
• Practical experience with HIL/SIL testing environments and test automation frameworks.
• Knowledge of automotive diagnostics and communication protocols.
