Senior Integration Test Engineer

Job Summary

Senior Integration Test Engineers serve as key stakeholders in the R&D process. This role bridges simulation and on-road testing by validating vehicle system behavior in a controlled lab environment. Senior Integration Test Engineers will focus on both static vehicle-level and HIL testing, replaying real-world drive logs, and documenting system responses. This role is unique in which you will lead testing on HIL bench test setups in addition to static vehicle-level simulated driving.

Essential Responsibilities

• Lead the development and execution of comprehensive HIL test plans, focusing on the integration of autonomous software with autonomous system hardware
• Perform bench-level testing of sensors and compute modules
• Execute static vehicle-level HIL testing by simulating real-world driving scenarios in a controlled environment
• Execute structured test plans covering functional, regression, and fault-injection scenarios
• Measure and analyze software performance (latency, CPU/memory utilization, throughput) on target hardware to ensure the autonomy stack meets necessary requirements
• Design and implement automated test suites. Integrate HIL test results and automation workflows with cloud computing services (AWS) for scalable data analysis and regression tracking
• Monitor and debug vehicle communications
• Partner with Autonomy and Systems Engineering teams to define validation requirements and translate complex edge cases into repeatable HIL test cases.
• Ensure all anomalies are thoroughly documented. Champion product quality by contributing to acceptance criteria and safety-critical validation metrics

Skills and Abilities

• Proven ability to construct and maintain HIL test environments
• Static vehicle-level or chassis dynamometer test experience
• Deep understanding of CAN networks and vehicle communication protocols
• Proficiency with Ethernet protocols (UDP and TCP)
• Experience with CAN bus analysis tools (e.g., Intrepid Vehicle Spy, Vector CANoe/CANalyzer)
• Strong command of Linux environments for system configuration, log manipulation, and troubleshooting
• Expertise in Test Case Automation and scripting to reduce manual testing overhead
• Able to prioritize complex deliverables and pivot testing strategies as autonomy software evolves
• Strong ability to translate low-level hardware bugs into actionable insights for high-level software teams
• Experience integrating test automation with cloud computing services (AWS)

Qualifications and Experience

• Required:
• Bachelor's degree in an applicable engineering field
• 5+ years experience testing complex safety-critical systems involving software, firmware, and/or hardware, preferably in an automotive context
• Direct experience with Hardware-in-the-Loop testing and system-level validation
• Valid driver’s license and clear driving record

Physical Requirements

• Prolonged sitting
• Prolonged standing
• Prolonged computer use
• Travel required? - Low: 0%-10%
