TL;DR · Electronic Systems Verification & Validation Senior Engineer

The Electronic Systems Verification & Validation Senior Engineer joins the Cat Technology team to verify and validate embedded software for heavy equipment and industrial technologies. This role involves collaborating with machine system coordinators and design engineers to define testing priorities, develop test plans, and perform software regression and delta content testing. You will perform system integration testing using Software-in-the-Loop and Hardware-in-the-Loop methodologies to ensure high-quality software for RTOS and Linux based systems. Key responsibilities include developing automated test scripts, managing lab solutions for liquid cooled devices, and documenting results to meet functional safety and ISO 9001 requirements. Required skills include dSPACE hardware and software, Python scripting, C, C++, Simulink, Googletest, and GIT. The work focuses on advancing autonomy, automation, and manufacturing efficiency.

What you'll do

  • Define testing priorities and determine test coverage with machine system coordinators and design engineers.
  • Develop, implement, and execute test plans for machine features in RTOS and Linux based systems.
  • Perform software regression and delta content testing to meet functional safety and ISO 9001 requirements.
  • Document test processes, results, and software defect-tracking reports.
  • Develop automated test scripts to improve efficiency in HiL and SiL environments.
  • Create product-testing procedures and select next-generation test environments and tools.
  • Develop and manage lab solutions for liquid cooled devices in electrical test environments.

What we're looking for

  • Degree or advanced degree in an accredited Engineering degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
  • Excellent working knowledge of dSPACE hardware and software including VEOS, ControlDesk, and Automation Desk.
  • Excellent working knowledge of product testing approaches, techniques, and tools to design and execute L6 machine level software integration testing.
  • Ability to perform software regression, delta content testing, and documentation to meet functional safety and ISO 9001 requirements.
  • Ability to develop automated test scripts and manage lab solutions for liquid cooled devices in electrical test environments.
  • Strong working knowledge of data analysis techniques to review test data and identify causes of bench issues or software defects.
  • Collaborative team player with strong verbal and written communication skills to convey requirements and review test results.
  • Experience in embedded systems design or testing, software development in C/C++/Simulink, Python scripting, and GIT configuration management (preferred).
