- Define regression tests where applicable
- Reproduce and document bugs
- Develop and maintain comprehensive documentation while using version control systems
- Support setup and configuration of HIL setups with multiple ECUs and sensors
- Work with wiring diagrams, communication networks
- Define HIL system architecture
- Configure real time simulation tools (e.g. Vector CANoe)
III. Required Skills
- Proficiency in C/C++ and Python in automotive or robotics domains
- Strong analytical and conceptual problem-solving capabilities
- Effective planning, organization, and time management
