Embedded Validation Engineer

Why are these roles open:
Applied Intuition is expanding embedded automotive validation efforts and needs additional support for ECU/system-level validation work tied to Autosar-based embedded systems. The team already has active development work underway and now needs additional validation bandwidth to accelerate automation and testing activities.

Intake Note:

• This role is significantly more embedded and automation-heavy than the HMI role
• Candidates do NOT need every tool listed; strong experience with either dSpace OR Vector tools is acceptable
• Strong preference for candidates from automotive embedded environments
• Tier-1 supplier backgrounds are highly relevant
• Candidates with ECU driver/device driver exposure are highly attractive
• Python scripting capability is important
• Mid-level candidates acceptable; no fresh grads
• Team is flexible if candidate demonstrates strong systems-thinking and validation methodology
• Multiple openings (2+)
• Contract OR contract-to-hire candidates acceptable
   

What’s this team's overall project:
Team is supporting embedded automotive validation activities focused on Autosar-based ECU systems, hardware-in-the-loop validation, automation, and system-level integration testing. The work supports production-oriented automotive embedded platforms and validation environments.

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.
