Embedded HiL Validation Engineer//Sunnyvale, CA/ Onsite 5 days/week//(AV)

We need support for system-level validation (SWE.6, SYS.4) using HIL platforms like dSpace and Vector tools (CANoe/CANalyzer). Experience with Autosar stack integration and classic Autosar tooling is also a priority.
 

What will they be working on:

• ECU/system-level validation
• Hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) testing
• Embedded automotive validation automation
• Autosar stack validation and integration
• Validation of ECU/device driver behavior
• CAN/network communication validation
• Test automation scripting
• Working within simulation environments and partial-system hardware setups
• Extending and executing automated validation frameworks
• Integration/system-level testing activities

What does their day to day look like:

• Executing embedded validation test cases
• Performing HiL and simulation-based testing
• Writing/modifying Python automation scripts
• Working with Vector or dSpace environments
• CAN/CANoe/CANalyzer-based validation
• Validating ECU interactions and embedded behaviors
• Debugging communication/signaling issues
• Reviewing requirements and validating expected system behavior
• Supporting automation-heavy validation workflows
• Collaborating closely with embedded developers and validation engineers onsite

What types of vehicles will they be working on:
Vehicle agnostic. Applied Intuition supports automotive simulation and embedded validation platforms rather than traditional OEM end-to-end production vehicle environments. Engineers may work on partial systems, ECUs, simulation environments, and embedded automotive platforms.

Must Have Skills:

• Automotive embedded validation experience
• HiL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) testing experience
• Embedded systems/ECU validation
• Python scripting/automation experience
• CAN/CAN bus understanding
• Experience with Vector tools (CANoe/CANalyzer) OR dSpace
• Automotive industry background
• Validation engineering mindset
• Experience working with partial systems/embedded hardware
• Comfortable onsite 5 days/week
• Ability to logically troubleshoot/debug systems

Desired Skills:

• Autosar / Classic Autosar experience
• ECU driver/device driver exposure
• SiL (Software-in-the-Loop) testing
• SWE.6 / SYS.4 exposure
• Embedded C/C++ background
• ECU integration testing
• Automation framework development/extension
• Simulation environment experience
• Tier-1 supplier background
• Embedded software development exposure
• Strong debugging/troubleshooting mindset
• Startup or fast-paced engineering environment experience

Target Candidate Backgrounds:

• Embedded Validation Engineer
