Junior Vehicle System Test Engineer

Description:

• The System Test Engineer ensures the elicitation of the requirements/KPI's, the test coverage of the System and System Architecture Requirements and quality of test cases along with the Test Plans.
• He/she specifies the test cases following the test strategies.
• He/she ensures that the test environment is set-up correctly.
• He/she executes the tests.
• He/she ensures the consistency of the test results with the test specification, the device under test and the relevant System release.
• He/she reports to the Test Lead or System Validation Technical Project Manager.

Responsibilities:

• Execute application and test-related tasks in coordination with the application team lead.
• Align System Test Specifications with the Function Manager and participate in peer reviews for test plans and specifications.
• Escalate deviations to the System Test Lead, providing adequate information and proposals for decision-making.
• Support the closing of system test activities and prepare test reports.
• Innovate and develop alternative test solutions to improve existing strategies.
• Analyze incoming system requirements and develop Test Specifications with full traceability to ensure coverage of all system interfaces and stakeholder requirements.
• Perform DVP&R and/or homologation tests according to customer requirements.
• Support vehicle integration with OEM teams for active safety sensors (ultrasonic, cameras, driver monitoring, clusters, PEPS).
• Ensure completeness of mechanical analysis and design verification activities, including measurement and analysis of ultrasonic sensor Field of View (FOV).
• Manage vehicle-specific parameters and perform flashing of ECUs.
• Execute bench-level and vehicle-level testing, including smoke, regression, and full validation tests.
• Execute test drives to validate end-user features.
• Perform in-vehicle calibration and testing of collision mitigation and automated park assist modules, including simulation of vehicle motion and trajectories.
• Write and execute automated scripts for bench-level testing, with AI usage for automation considered a plus.
• Work with various vehicle systems, including ABS, EPAS, EPS, and ECU.
• Report issues via defect management tools such as Jira or Codebeamer.
• Support the distribution and setup of the System Test Environment.

Mandatory Skills Description:

• Minimum 0-2 year relevant experience in system test/design in multifunctional environment
• Knowledge in automotive development and application of active safety features is a plus
• Bench and vehicle test experience
• Automation scripting
• Valid driver license is required

Nice-to-Have Skills Description:

• Experience in AI usage is an advantage.
• Good knowledge of embedded software and system
• Experience in system engineering and testing (requirements analysis/test case writing methodology, traceability concept, test case execution, automation, reporting)
• Knowledge of process models (e.g. Automotive SPICE®)
• Utilize CAN/LIN interface tools (e.g., CANoe, CANalyzer) for trace analysis.
• Automation scripting
• Based in the Troy office, this position requires the engineer to spend approximately 90% of their time conducting vehicle testing and calibration at the Auburn Hills test track, with additional travel required for joint customer site testing and external test track validation.
• CAN communication protocol knowledge (CANoe, CANalyzer)
• Capl script knowledge
• Knowledge of DAS/ADAS
• DFMEA knowledge
• Familiarity with ultrasonic / camera based systems will be considered a plus (object sensing technology)
• ASPICE, ISO26262 and Cyber Security training are an advantage.
• Self-driven and motivated
