Assignment Description

We are looking for a Software Engineer to our client in the automotive industry. Their development centres heavily around software (SW) and in their next generation vehicles they take a giant leap into the future by launching a capable centralized compute platform, hosting most of the active safety, driver support and vehicle motion control SW. Connecting all exterior sensors to a central computer is a great enabler for in-house SW development, continuous innovation on a stable compute platform, and superior customer offerings. Together with their partners they are building a modular, service-based perception platform and leading safety and driver support applications. They are setting the scene for future safety innovations as well as autonomous driving features. They deliver on their purpose of providing safe, personal, and sustainable mobility aiming towards a future of Zero Collisions.

In their next generation vehicles, they are building a computer-in-the-car architecture, a key for enabling innovation within areas such as Vehicle Motion, Advanced Connectivity, Machine Learning, and Autonomous Drive. Their mission is to create a Vehicle Control Unit platform using new technologies like DriveOS and NVIDIA’s latest chip technology in combination with more traditional car signalling technologies. This core computer and the corresponding platform will simplify the software/application development to create a safe, reliable, and secure platform for increased innovation and speed.

They are looking for their future team member to enable Software Verification and Validation on Hardware-based Test Environments

The hardware-based test environments are built around the above-mentioned computer-in-the-car architecture. These setups are a combination of vehicle simulator and real hardware components to emulate a real vehicle with all the relevant dynamics. their team(s) are responsible for the development and maintenance of these test environments, while making sure that the test environments are capable to execute relevant test cases for platform, software, and function verification. The hardware-based environments are state-of-the art test setups, critical for testing software before the final product is launched. Hence, you will be working in a fast paced, innovative environment, solving problems and challenges daily.

They offer you to work in a small cross functional team, with high focus on quality and continuous improvements. Together with your colleagues, you will define, set up and configure these hardware-based test environments supporting theyr current and future projects. You will be working with Software application and deployment on core computer, doing modeling work with Matlab, Simulink and you will be enabling test automation, moving us towards Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment.
Together with us, you will grow your competence and get a broad understanding of the client’s Next Generation Vehicles and Software Platform along with domain growth in Vehicle Motion Control and Autonomous Driving. You will work closely with other groups in the organization, their suppliers and get the opportunity to create a wide network.

Who are you?

We believe you are an individual who is motivated by challenging tasks in a complex and innovative environment. Execution of challenging technology development and teamwork is your real passion. You enjoy learning from others, as well as sharing your knowledge with your colleague and are social, structured, analytical, and a problem solver.
