Job detail
We are looking for two technical colleagues who want to contribute to the quality and reliability of modern cars. How? You will test the central controllers of the on-board network (BCM) using Hardware-in-the-Loop simulation. These units are essentially the "brain" of the car's comfort functions, controlling most of the electrical systems from lights to central locking. Your job will be to make sure they work exactly as they should.
What you will be working with
In the laboratories you will find two main testing systems:
What will you do specifically?
1. Devise and program test scenarios
- You get a task like, "We need to test whether the lights react correctly to a change in driving mode." You suggest how to test this and program a test scenario.
- You create code that automatically runs a series of tests and records the results.
- You'll look for creative ways to spot potential problems before the customer discovers them.
2. Testing and preparation of clear reports
- You run a test campaign on a specific version of the controller software.
- You will continuously record the results in systems like JIRA or XRAY, where they will be immediately visible to the whole team.
- You will prepare summary reports describing what was tested, with what results, and what problems were found.
- If you find a problem, describe exactly under what conditions it occurs and how it can be reproduced.
3. Improvement and maintenance of test systems
- You will create and modify virtual models of car parts that are needed to test new features.
- Ensure that all components of the test system communicate properly and work efficiently together.
- You will analyze when the testbed hardware or software needs to be updated and propose specific solutions.
- Occasionally, new hardware will need to be added (e.g. a new sensor type simulator) or the test software updated - you will be responsible for implementing these changes.
What should you know and be able to do?
Technical skills
- Understand the principle of how electronic systems in the car work and how they communicate with each other (protocols such as CAN, LIN or FlexRay).
- Program in at least one of the following languages: C/C++,Python or MATLAB/Simulink. You don't have to be an expert, but you should be able to write and edit code for test scenarios.
- Experience with dSPACE or National Instruments test platforms is an advantage, but we are happy to teach you.
- To be able to think logically and systematically in finding and solving problems.
Education and experience
- Higher education in a technical field - electrical engineering, mechatronics, automation or similar fields.
- If you are a recent graduate and have worked with MATLAB, simulations or automotive systems in school projects or thesis work, you are an interesting candidate for us.
- Experience in testing or developing electronic systems is an advantage but not a requirement.
What do we offer?
- Work with the latest technologies in the automotive industry.
- Space for professional growth and deepening of technical knowledge.
- Working in an industry with a promising future - electronics in cars will become increasingly complex and the need for quality testing will grow.
The most important step is to let us know you are interested in the position. There is no need to be nervous, we need you as much as you need us. Send us your CV and a few details about yourself.
Honza or Vendy from our HR department will call you to talk more about your interest in the position. It usually takes up to twenty minutes and both parties can find out where they stand.
We will meet you right here in our Toy Shop to talk about you and the position you are applying for over coffee. If we sit down, in the second round we will go directly to your future workplace where you will be able to look around and meet your future colleagues.
We want to tailor our job offer to each candidate. We will take into account your interview requirements and try to add something extra. You can look forward to an individual and clear job offer that only you will receive. No generic email.
Then we'll just have to hope that the offer will be liked and work out the details.
