Validation Engineer - Associate

Job Description :

• Seeking a qualified Functional and Safety Validation Test Engineer for the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Validation department.
• The ADAS Validation Engineer will be responsible for analyzing data, developing test plans, developing test scripts, and procedures, and executing test plans and procedures in a virtual environment (HIL, SIL, VIL etc) or on vehicle for validating ADAS functions and performances necessary to successfully launch ADAS features to production.

Responsibilities :

• Review and help develop test procedures for various ADAS and Automated Driving features and applications.
• Create test scenarios for vehicle and virtual validation based on vehicle level function and safety requirements (FuSa, SOTIF, etc).
• Utilize Proactive / DFSS / Resilient Engineering process for test scenario creation.
• Implement test procedures and execute tests on dSPACE HIL equipment or on vehicle.
• Collect and analyze data and test results, apply statistical models and validation methods and report findings and results to the cross-functional team and senior management.
• Design, implement, verify and maintain test scripts for test automation.
• Troubleshoot issues and assist other validation engineers during the use of this equipment.
• Effectively communicate with cross-functional development engineers.
• Interface various vehicle control modules to the current dSPACE simulation equipment.
• Support development of the HIL plant models as it pertains to the dSPACE I / O layer.
• Analyze, identify and implement system upgrades and improvements as they become necessary for validation and reliability activities.
• Participate in collaboration discussions with global HIL / SIL organizations to ensure standardization of tools, methodologies, models and test scripts.
• Support vehicle testing at the proving ground for correlation of virtual and physical validation.

Requirements :

• Work experience - Entry level.
• Previous experience in HIL / SIL / VIL development using dSPACE or equivalent equipment.
• Basic understanding of Vehicle Robotics / ADAS / Active Safety system level validation.
• Ability to read and analyze digital communications data (CAN / LIN / Ethernet).
• Proficient in Matlab / Simulink / Python.
• Outstanding problem solving and analytical skills.
• Demonstrated ability to successfully execute tasks under minimal supervision.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly present technical material to individuals at all levels of the organization.
• Desire to work on vehicles and in a test environment (hands-on).

Travel and Driving Requirements :

Will be required to drive a company car. Valid driver's license is required as well as a clean driving record. Will be required to travel periodically between Auburn Hills (for training and development) and occasionally Chelsea Michigan (for testing).

Flexible Working Hours :

ADAS testing is to be performed during the day and at night (after dark). The candidate must be flexible enough to work during the day or night as the test plan dictates.

Preferred Qualifications :

• Year experience and / or academic research in an automotive engineering environment.
• Master of Science in Electrical, Computer, Mechanical Engineering or equivalent Engineering degree from an accredited university.
• Experience with vehicle dynamics, environmental and ADAS system simulation modeling within tools such as ASM, CarSim and CarMaker.
• Experience in system design and setup for HIL systems for ADAS or vehicle dynamics systems.
• Experience with setting up and executing VIL testing.
• Experience with Vector CAN tools / gateways (CANape, CANalyzer, or CANoe) for data collection, analysis, and vehicle diagnostics.
• Experience with various vehicle networking including CAN, CANFD, and Automotive Ethernet.
• Working knowledge of ground truth reference level sensors, camera systems, dGPS, visualization tools.
• Experience utilizing general engineering tools FMEA, DVP&R, Lessons Learned.
• Background in DFSS, System Behavioral Testing or Reactive Problem solving.
• Demonstrated ability to validate system / feature function and testing metrics to ensure end design meets functional intent.
• Knowledge of statistical methods and modeling to validate vehicle safety systems.
• Proficient in vehicle functional safety standards ISO .

Education :
