Write scripts in Python or NI scripting for test automation to improve efficiency and coverage.

We’re looking for someone who has:

Proficiency with HIL systems and experience in validating automotive systems, such as infotainment, ADAS, telematics, sensors, and networking.

Experience coding in Python for test automation and script development.

Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills with the ability to identify, root cause, and resolve system-level failures.

Ability to document test procedures, results, and progress clearly and accurately, including issue tracking and test failure analysis.

Nice to have:

Experience with automotive network architectures and protocols (e.g., CAN, Ethernet, LIN, etc.) and the ability to validate system-level performance.

Experience with prototype system bring-up, debugging, and validation in both lab and vehicle environments.

Familiarity with test automation frameworks, particularly for automotive systems, and experience developing robust automated tests.

An innate curiosity to optimize testing processes and improve efficiency through better scripting, automation, and tools.
