ADAS HIL Validation Engineer

Seeking a qualified Validation Engineering Lead for the Chassis, Dynamics, and ADAS Validation department. The HIL Validation Engineer will be responsible for leading the development of and executing test plans, test scripts, and analyzing data in a virtual environment (HIL) and for correlating on vehicles for validating functions and performance necessary to successfully launch ADAS and Chassis features to production.

Job Duties:
* Review and help develop HIL test procedures for various ADAS, Automated Driving, Brakes and Vehicle Dynamics features and applications
* Support team for creation of test scenarios for vehicle and virtual validation based on vehicle level function and safety requirements (FuSa, SOTIF, etc)
* Implement test procedures and execute tests on dSPACE HIL equipment
* Collect and analyze data and test results, apply statistical models and validation methods and report findings and results to the cross-functional team
* Design, implement, verify and maintain test scripts for test automation
* Troubleshoot HIL issues and perform correlation activities on vehicle
* Effectively communicate with cross-functional development engineers
* Interface and update various vehicle control modules to the current dSPACE simulation equipment
* Participate in collaboration discussions with global HIL/SIL organizations to ensure standardization of tools, methodologies, models and test scripts
* Support testing of similar features and system at CPG as needed

Basic Qualifications:

* Bachelor of Science in Electrical, Computer, Mechanical Engineering or equivalent Engineering degree from an accredited university
* 1-3 Years experience in an automotive engineering environment
* Knowledge of HIL development using dSPACE or equivalent equipment
* Basic understanding of ADAS/Active Chassis features and system level validation
