Your Responsibilities

As an Embedded SIL Environment Test Infrastructure Engineer located in Dubuque, IA, you will improve, maintain, and support the Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) embedded development and test environment used by Construction & Forestry product teams. Additionally, you will:

• Contribute to the embedded SIL environment for Construction & Forestry teams, ensuring reliability, repeatability, and ease of use for developers and test engineers

• Develop and maintain embedded build and integration workflows (e.g., Emb32) to support fast iteration and consistent SIL execution

• Develop and maintain plant models and model interfaces used in SIL, improving fidelity, performance, and configuration management

• Create and enhance SIL tooling and utilities (including C# applications/services) for scenario setup, execution, logging, and results triage

• Troubleshoot and resolve SIL environment issues across software, models, and configuration (e.g., build breaks, runtime faults, version mismatches, performance regressions)

• Partner with embedded software teams, PV&V, and systems/controls engineers to define SIL requirements and prioritize environment and model improvements

• Maintain documentation, onboarding material, and reference examples so teams can adopt SIL efficiently and consistently

• Implement quality practices for the SIL environment (source control hygiene, automated checks, CI integration, versioning, and release notes)

• Collaborate with global stakeholders and suppliers as needed to integrate embedded software and models into the SIL environment

• Support users of the SIL environment by answering questions, unblocking development, and guiding best practices for efficient debugging and verification

• Integrate embedded applications, controls, and communication interfaces into SIL to enable functional and regression testing without hardware dependency

• Maintain and improve the SIL runtime stack, configuration packages, and dependencies (installers, environment setup, and version compatibility)

• Develop diagnostics and automation around SIL execution (batch runs, nightly/regression pipelines, log parsing, and failure classification)

• Drive continuous improvement by tracking common pain points, reducing setup time, and increasing SIL stability and model fidelity for product teams

VISA Sponsorship is NOT available for this position

What Skills You Need

• Experience developing and debugging embedded software and/or embedded toolchains, including build, integration, and deployment workflows

• Experience improving and maintaining simulation or SIL environments, including configuration management and troubleshooting across software and models

• Demonstrated problem-solving skills to analyze and resolve technical issues (build failures, runtime faults, configuration issues, performance)

• Strong communication and collaboration skills to work effectively with embedded developers, controls/model engineers, and verification teams

• Ability to work in a self-directed mode while managing multiple priorities in a sustain + improve environment

What Makes You Standout

• Hands-on experience with plant model development, calibration, and model integration in SIL workflows

• Significant knowledge and experience in software testing, tools, and processes such as unit testing, HIL, SIL, black box, boundary conditions etc.

• Experience with Emb32 (or similar embedded targets) and cross-compiling/debugging embedded applications used in simulation or test environments

• Experience with C/C++, Python, ECU-Test, Squish, Jenkins

• Experience building developer tools and automation for SIL (e.g., installers, environment setup, test harnesses, log processing, CI integration)

• Experience in off-road mobile equipment embedded software or controls development (design, implementation, or verification)

• Experience with automotive/aviation/off road mobile equipment software or controls development (design or test)

• Experience improving model fidelity and performance (numerical stability, solver settings, runtime performance, and configuration/version control)

• Experience with model-based software testing techniques

• Experience with distributed embedded systems and communication protocols commonly used in mobile equipment (e.g., CAN/J1939, Ethernet-based comms)

• Experience with distributed control systems and communication protocols
