Software Engineer – Controls

ID: 317827

Position Description:

The Hardware in the Loop (HiL) End-of-Line Engineer supports the product development and system integration processes by developing test methods for automated execution, implementing tests using Hardware in the Loop equipment, documenting and reviewing execution reports, reporting incidents, and tracking software updates to fix issues. The HiL Engineer develops expertise in software test design and has advanced knowledge in vehicle functional partitioning, electrical and communication architectures, Ford's embedded software processes, and the Global Product Development System. This role requires close collaboration with feature owners, engineering, and suppliers to develop a strong understanding of the vehicle functions and implement appropriate test design strategies for early identification of defects and to provide evidence of defect elimination

Skills Required:

·Single point of contact for the test organization and the feature owner, engineering team, and supplier

·Manage the test project for the assigned features and programs including integration/definition, scope/coverage, time, communications, and risk

·Develop and negotiate the testing scope and statement of work

·Support the tradeoff analysis of test requirements vs test environment capabilities to define test scope and instrumentation strategies

·Analyze requirements, vehicle components electrical schematics, functional specifications, and FMEA documentation

·Design, maintain and execute test procedures in alignment with test design guidelines and strategy

·Document test environment, automation, and vehicle variant management requirements

·Implement and validate test environment, automation, and vehicle variant management solutions

·Develop test procedures to validate the test environment (intake tests)

·Analyze test execution results to generate reports, document incidents, and drive them to resolution

·Troubleshoot vehicle systems and test environment functionality to minimize false positive incident reports

·Implement continuous improvement strategies for test design, management, and execution processes.

Experience Required:

·5+ Years of experience in automotive software development or validations.

·5+ Years of experience in software development life cycle - CMMI or Agile process experience.

·5+ Years of experience utilizing software testing or quality assurance methodologies or ISTQB test methods

·2+ Years of experience testing Global diagnostics part -1 or Part -2 specification experience

·2+ Years of experience in validation support of dSPACE or NI HIL simulators hardware

·2+ Years of experience in dSPACE control and automation desk software.

·2+ Years of experience test automation and scripting development

·2+ Years of experience in distributed feature testing experience

·2+ Years of experience in ADAS/DAT feature testing support

·2+ Years of experience using Scaled Agile Framework SAFE implementing agile practices and setting up SW development workflows at an enterprise scale.

·Functional understanding of ASPICE SW development process and ISO26262 functional safety standard.

Experience Preferred:

·Experience in development and execution of functional test procedures within a software or vehicle testing organization

·Experience in bench testing of distributed electrical systems (Electrical System Engineering) including bench functional integration, test execution, measuring and instrumentation, incident reporting and root cause analysis

·Experience in electrical schematics for vehicle components and systems and electrical architectures of distributed systems

·Experience with development and verification of embedded software using hardware in the loop equipment and software (E.g. dSpace, National Instruments) Experience in test automation collaboration with Germany team

·Experience in Ford Diagnostics Engineering tools and software downloads. Experience in End-of-Line (EOL) validation support or ECU diagnostics testing

·Experience in implementing software configuration management

·Experience in in software development with compiled and interpreted languages including C++, Python, visual basic and Matlab and their corresponding integrated development environments (IDEs). E.g. MS Visual Studio, Simulink

·Experience in Experience in embedded controller networks (CAN, LIN) and the use of ECU diagnostic and network communication tools to verify and troubleshoot distributed vehicle systems (e.g. CANoe, CANalyzer)

Education Required:

·Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent

Education Preferred:
