Within the team of hardware in the loop and testing you will directly work on the software validation for different platforms. You will be part of an interdisciplinary, networked and Agile team. Together with specialists about hardware in the loop, modeling and software testing you will be part of the development and validation process for series products.

Responsibilities

• Define HW and SW tools needed for test execution. Carry out the necessary actions for the integration of the individual HW and SW components.
• Mechanical design of structures for HIL;
• Electrical/electronic design of systems for HIL;
• Model the systems that are controlled by the units under test.
• Toolchain integration: HW and SW tools identified, preparation of the actions necessary for proper functioning and optimal interaction between them (tools) in order to be able to configure them as expected; writing code; configuring tools; requirements analysis;
• Design of mechanical and electrical/electronic parts with assembly plans;
• Defining a Controlled System Model;
• Model development: identification of the characteristics of the systems to be developed and the simulation targets to be achieved; Model systems;
• Model validation: validation of the functionality and behaviour of the model to verify that it correctly replicates the behaviour of the system of which it is the representation. Definition of validation actions, execution of validation procedures, analysis of system parameters, choice of quality targets.

Key requirements

• At least 5 years of experience in the automotive sector is preferred.
• Scripting/System Configuration: develop scripts to interface HW/SW tools with each other or to identify the correct parameter configurations that make integration possible;
• Modeling techniques: ability to implement, in simulation environments, the logics/equations that characterize the behaviour of the system to be modeled;
• Validation of developed systems: knowing the behaviours of the systems in order to identify the limit values of the results that discriminate the outcome;
• Programming: ability to develop code graphically or textually;
• Knowledge of the functioning and purposes of HW and SW tools for validation and of the main features and purposes;
