Model Based Design Test Engineer - Controls Verification

Job Title: Model Based Design Test Engineer - Controls Verification

Job Summary:

We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Test Engineer to join our team focused on Software-In-Loop (SIL) testing for Thermal Management Systems or Vehicle Powertrain Control Modules. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in embedded systems testing, automotive control systems, and simulation environments.

Key Responsibilities:

· Design, develop, and execute SIL test cases for thermal or powertrain control software.

· Work closely with software developers and system engineers to understand functional requirements and translate them into test scenarios.

· Develop and maintain test automation scripts and test benches using tools like MATLAB/Simulink, dSPACE, ETAS, Synopsys Silver or equivalent.

· Analyze test results, identify root causes of failures, and document issues clearly.

· Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure test coverage and quality standards.

· Support continuous integration and regression testing pipelines.

· Participate in model-in-the-loop (MIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing when required.

Required Qualifications:

· Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.

· 3+ years of experience in SIL testing or embedded software verification in the automotive domain.

· Strong understanding of vehicle thermal systems or powertrain control strategies.

· Hands-on experience with MATLAB/Simulink, dSPACE, Synopsys Silver, or similar simulation tools.

· Experience in Integrating System Plant Model with Application Software for closed loop simulation testing.

· Experience using Lauterbach Trace 32 debugger, TASKING, GCC Compiler

· Familiarity with CAN, Ethernet, LIN, UDS protocols and automotive diagnostics.

· Proficient in scripting languages such as Python, CAPL, or Shell.

· Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

· Experience with AUTOSAR architecture and ISO 26262 safety standards.

· Knowledge of continuous integration tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD.

· Exposure to vehicle calibration tools (INCA, CANape).

· Experience with model-based development and control algorithm testing.
