• We require a bachelors degree with 5+ years of experience, or a masters degree with 3+ years of experience in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, Automotive Engineering, or a related discipline.
• We are looking for strong hands-on experience with Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) testing, including test bench setup, integration, and upkeep.
• We need experience with HiL platforms such as dSPACE, National Instruments (NI), Vector, or comparable systems.
• We value a solid understanding of autonomous driving systems, including LiDAR, radar, cameras, perception, sensor fusion, and vehicle dynamics.
• We expect experience creating and running test cases and validation plans for complex systems.
• We require proficiency in Python and/or C++, with experience building test automation and tooling.
• We look for experience with ROS/ROS2, including node development, system integration, and debugging tools such as rviz and rosbag.
• We need familiarity with CAN protocols and tools such as CANoe, CANalyzer, or similar solutions.
• We expect experience integrating complex systems across hardware and software interfaces.
• We value strong troubleshooting ability and the capacity to debug system-level issues in complex environments.
• We need the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams in a fast-moving environment.
• Bonus experience includes testing autonomous vehicles or ADAS systems in production or pre-production settings.
• Additional bonus points for familiarity with simulation frameworks or model-based development tools.
• Experience supporting safety-critical system validation and regulatory requirements is a plus.
• Experience working in Agile or SAFe environments is also valued.
• Exposure to cloud-based data systems or large-scale test data analysis is an added advantage.

• We design, develop, and maintain HiL test benches that support validation of autonomous driving software and system-level functionality.
• We define and execute test strategies, test cases, and validation plans based on system requirements, safety objectives, and integration needs.
• We build and maintain automated test scripts and frameworks to increase coverage, repeatability, and efficiency.
• We integrate hardware and software components into HiL environments, managing interfaces, data flows, and synchronization across subsystems.
• We carry out verification and validation activities aligned with safety standards such as ISO 26262.
• We support the integration and validation of new autonomy features across perception, sensor fusion, and vehicle control systems.
• We use tools and frameworks such as ROS/ROS2, CAN-based systems, and simulation platforms for testing and debugging.
• We analyze test outcomes, investigate system-level issues, and work across teams to resolve problems.
• We document test procedures, results, and defects, and share findings with engineering and program stakeholders.
• We continuously improve HiL infrastructure, tooling, and workflows to enable scalable and efficient testing.
