Sr Design Engineer - Software Verification and Validation

Job Summary

In this position you will perform the system and component level testing of future product on vehicle and bench top equipment. You will be responsible for defining the test case, understanding and operating vehicle and systems, defining pass or fail criteria, reporting test findings, and supporting resolution of issues found in test.  You will be working with an experienced cross-functional engineering team to ensure both the successful delivery of new features as well as the successful integration of existing features into new platforms.
 

Job Responsibilities

• Review requirements at the vehicle, system and component levels.  Work with component owners and design engineers to define, develop, and execute vehicle, system, and bench tests for H-D electronic control units (ECUs).
• Automate test cases by writing or supporting the creation of test sequences in the Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) lab and by reviewing results to confirm correct HiL test case execution.
• Develop and implement custom test functions, sequences, and test setups using breakout boxes, Vector CANalyzer and CANoe, CAPL scripting, and software prototyping tools as needed. Responsible for maintenance and upgrades of manual test equipment and harnesses.
• Create test reports to summarize test findings and to satisfy reporting requirements of various processes including ISO-26262
• Create bug reports and provide information on issue recreation to support issue resolution.
• Work extensively with CAN, analog and digital based control systems. Provide manual test support for advanced controls development and testing.
• Utilize third-party software tools to log and share data with other teams within H-D.
• Deliver new test capabilities for manual testing to expand test case coverage
