- Design and assemble HIL bench hardware including wire harnesses, breakout boxes, power distribution, and instrumentation
- Develop Python tooling for ECU flashing, test orchestration, and bench health monitoring in CI pipelines
- Debug hardware and software issues using oscilloscopes and bus analysis tools for CAN, CAN-FD, LIN, and Automotive Ethernet
- Validate network compatibility and protocol compliance across sensors, ECUs, and actuation subsystems
- Define acceptance criteria and execute bench-level validation with root cause analysis
- Maintain platform documentation including schematics, integration procedures, and failure mode analyses
What they're looking for
- Vehicle E/E systems integration and HIL bench development
- Python scripting and test automation
- Automotive bus protocols (CAN, CAN-FD, LIN, Automotive Ethernet)
- Oscilloscope and protocol analysis tools
- Hardware schematic design and wire harness assembly
- MATLAB/Simulink and model-based development
