Your Role and Responsibilities

As a Software Test Engineer, you will develop advanced motion control systems for off-highway industrial machinery in agriculture and construction sectors, focusing on vehicles such as tractors, harvesters, dozers, and excavators. Your tasks will include:

• Creating automated testing tools, scripts, and procedures for code evaluation and validation
• Supporting field data collection to bolster control system software and tools development
• Transitioning testing from on-vehicle to HIL/SIL/MIL simulation environments to enhance development speed, quality, and reduce costs
• Developing and executing test plans/procedures for MIL/SIL, HIL, and on-vehicle testing
• Setting up a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testbench and creating HIL test procedures
• Writing model-/software-in-the-loop (MIL/SIL) test cases to increase test coverage
• Conducting on-vehicle testing for plant model validation and supporting RCCA analysis
• Collecting vehicle data logs with rigorous methodologies
• Developing data analysis scripts for clear, concise result presentations
• Utilizing C++, Python, Matlab/Simulink, or other scripting languages to achieve objectives

Required Skills and Experience

To excel in this role, you should bring:

• 5+ years of control system test experience for dynamic physical systems (e.g. ground vehicles)
• Bachelor's, Master’s, or higher degree in a related field such as Computer Engineering, Robotics, Aerospace, or Mechatronics Engineering
• Proficiency with Matlab/Simulink tools and scripting languages like Python
• Experience with test, verification, validation, and algorithm productization
• Data collection and organization skills
• Familiarity with data statistics and probability theory
• Willingness to travel up to 25% annually (including internationally)
• Effective collaboration and communication skills
• Problem-solving and autonomous working capabilities
• Experience with J1939 or NMEA2000 CAN Communication

Desirable Skills and Experience

The ideal candidate may also possess:

• 12+ years of relevant work experience
• Hands-on controls experience in off-highway, automotive, or aerospace sectors
• HIL and SIL testing expertise, including familiarity with HIL testbench HW/SW (e.g. NI Veristand)
• Experience in GNSS+IMU navigation, autonomous vehicle control, and safety-critical software development
• Knowledge of testing tools and instrumentation sensors (e.g. potentiometers, hall effect sensors, accelerometers)
• Proficiency in comprehensive test suite design for maximum coverage and efficiency
• Experience with Linux-based operating systems
• Proficiency with C++
