Assignment description

Our client is seeking a Automation Engineer (Hardware in Loop)

They are making bold digital visions come true. They aim to lead in the automotive world by creating a digital ecosystem built around making their customers lives less complicated. Now they are looking for curious, creative people who want to change the world through innovative thinking.

Job description:

Our clients development centers around software (SW) and in their next generation vehicles, they take a giant leap into the future by launching a new SW architecture, hosting all the of the in-house developed and integrated SW. Propulsion & Energy is one of six development units within R&D where the teams develop state-of-the-art electric drivetrains and energy management.

The Propulsion & Energy unit is located at Gothenburg and Shanghai and includes SW development for EV charging components, motor inverters and power electronics as well as traction batteries. Their department, Software Factory, is an Enabling ART (Agile Release Train) within Electric Propulsion, with the purpose to provide infrastructure for SW development teams to integrate, test, and release SW products in continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) flows. And in your team, they are building the infrastructure for a robust and automated Hardware-in-Loop (HIL) test framework, enabling automated SW testing in a CI/CD flow.

They are looking for their future team members to develop and maintain an automated test framework for HIL setups that are intended for software verification on embedded systems. It includes the HIL testing related part of the CI flow, a framework for the creation of test cases and different other tools to making automated HIL testing as capable and efficient as possible. Enabling SW testers to create and execute test suits for software and function verification. These state-of-the art test setups are critical for testing software before the final product is launched. Hence, you will be contributing to delivering new SW products to the cars as efficiently as possible.

Since their team has an enabling function they have a high focus on quality, continuous improvements and creating new innovations for SW testing. Together with your colleagues, you will define and build these test frameworks supporting their current and future projects. Together with them, you will grow your competence and quickly learn a lot about the latest testing technologies and get the opportunity to create a wide network within the Propulsion & Energy unit and across the whole R&D.

If you are proficient in coding and scripting, test case creation, understand Software Verification cycles and you want to utilize state-of-the-art methods to create automated HIL environments you will fit well in this role.
They believe you are motivated by challenging tasks in a complex and innovative environment. Execution of challenging technology development and teamwork is your passion. You enjoy learning from others and sharing your knowledge with your colleagues, and you are social, structured, analytical, and a problem solver, then this opportunity suits you perfectly.

Mandatory Requirements:

• M.Sc. or a B.Sc. within Software/Data Technology, Electrical/Embedded Systems, Electronics or similar
• 2+ Years of experience in Software Development, Verification and Validation
• Proficient in Python
• Relevant experience in HIL or test case development using the dSPACE toolchain, including AutomationDesk
• Relevant experience in test automation
• Experience from CI/CD
• Fluent in English and can communicate effectively with all types of stakeholders

Meritorious:

• Flask
• SQL
• Working experience in Matlab
• Knowledge in modelling using Simulink
• Knowledge about Electric Motors, Power Electronics and Traction Battery technology
• Driving License B
