Hitachi Astemo Americas Inc Software Design Engineer in Farmington Hills, Michigan
Description General Responsibilities: We are looking for Sr. software design engineer who can work on virtual ECU simulation technology. The primary responsibility of this role is to support deployment and maintenance of VECU (Virtual ECU). Simulation of the ECU is becoming more popular and useful in the automotive industry.Until now Software development timing has always been challenging due its dependency on hardware availability. VECU is the technology that's helping companies to reduce the dependency on hardware for the software development. This role will provide an opportunity to work on this technology and contribute to this developing trend in the Automotive industry.
Job Responsibilities: Includes the following (other duties may be documented and assigned by local management and some duties may not apply dependent upon the requirements of the position at each specific (HIAMS)AM site and/or the strengths of the employee and the needs of the company): Develop or integrate complete software virtual solutions for different components/features of the real target embedded software. Implement software solution that are applicable to different platforms (linux, windows, real time PC) for 32/64 bit machines. Software requirements analysis, efforts estimations, module and integration tests, debugging of VECU and real ECU. Be responsible for the test execution, analysis of test reports, documentation of test scripts in qualifying VECU as solution for release testing. Be the direct interface with the customer to clarify requirements and propose solutions. Have close copoperation with international teams/partners for providing VECU solutions. Possess strong knowledge of software debug tools, and trace tools such as Lauterbach, P&E Micro, etc). Experience working with hardware in the loop (HIL) systems from vendors such as ETAS and dSPACE.
Familiarity with CAN analysis tools and script generation, from vendors such as Vector and Intrepid Control Systems.
