Job Summary
In this role, you will develop and operate HIL and SIL test systems for verifying complex software solutions, implement automated tests, and analyze test results in close collaboration with development teams.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- Development, implementation, and operation of Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and combined Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) test systems, including simulators/simulations for the verification of complex, ISG-specific software and system solutions with a strong focus on control units, communication, and automation topics.
- Independent planning, implementation, and maintenance of automated tests on HIL/SIL test benches for complex ISG products and platforms with multiple product and system components (e.g., control units, sensors, actuators, communication interfaces, backend integrations).
- Setup, configuration, and operation of test environments and simulations for verifying software-based functions in machine- and domain-specific environments.
- Secure and professional handling of Vector CANoe (simulation, rest bus simulation, test modules, CAPL/automation).
- Independent analysis of requirements, function and interface descriptions, as well as derivation of suitable HIL/SIL test cases and test strategies in coordination with development and testing roles within the ISG.
- Implementation of automated test cases and integration into existing test automation and CI infrastructures.
- In-depth knowledge and confident application of various CAN-based protocols (e.g., CAN, CAN FD, J1939, UDS).
- Creation, customization, and maintenance of bus, control unit, and environmental simulations to realistically represent ISG-specific application scenarios.
- Provision and maintenance of test data for various system, machine, and configuration variants.
- Analysis of failed test runs as well as identification and assessment of error causes (software, hardware, communication, test infrastructure, etc.).
- Documentation of defects in the deployed defect tracking systems and close collaboration with development teams for sustainable bug resolution.
- Verification of software fixes and continuous improvement of existing tests in terms of robustness, efficiency, and maintainability.
- Conducting code reviews for automated test implementations in compliance with defined quality and development guidelines.
- Independent contribution to the further development of test frameworks, test infrastructures, and tools within the global ISG.
- Active contribution, evaluation, and implementation of new approaches and methods, including proof-of-concepts.
- Use and testing of AI-based solutions to improve efficiency and quality in test creation, test automation, maintenance, analysis, etc.
- Independent work on complex tasks with a strong ability to work in a team.
- Close coordination with development, various testing roles, and other stakeholders within the ISG.
- Collaboration with global JD units as well as external partners and suppliers.

Our expectations of you
Education
- Completed university degree (e.g., Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics) or a comparable qualification.
Qualifications
- Very good knowledge of Vector CANoe (professional level).
- Very good knowledge of several scripting or programming languages (e.g., Python, CAPL, C/C++, Java).
- Knowledge of alternative simulation hardware and software in the CAN environment is desirable.
- Knowledge of the road construction environment as well as the machinery and systems used there (e.g., pavers, rollers, milling machines, sensors, and control units) is advantageous but not a mandatory requirement.
- Highly developed analytical skills and problem-solving competence.
- High degree of personal responsibility, structured and reliable work approach.
- Strong team and communication skills.
- Affinity for digital solutions as well as interest in the entire system from onboard to offboard, which needs to be tested.
- Affinity for artificial intelligence and its application in the workplace.
- Very good English and German skills in a technical environment (C1).
Experience
- Several years of practical experience (typically 3-5 years) in HIL/SIL testing, test automation, or software verification related to control units, primarily in the agricultural machinery or automotive sector.
- Experience with CI systems (e.g., Jenkins, Azure DevOps, GitLab CI) and version control workflows (e.g., Git).
- Experience with SIL and HIL testing methods in digital and/or machine-near environments.
- Experience with the use of APIs or digital data integrations.
- Experience in the use of AI, ideally in test automation / software development.
