- Analyze system and software requirements and derive test cases and validation scenarios.
- Execute test cases under normal, boundary, and fault conditions.
- Validate ECU functionality and communication behavior.
- Support root-cause analysis of software and communication-related issues.
- Document test results, observations, deviations, and validation evidence.

Vector CANoe / CANalyzer & Network Simulation

- Configure and maintain automotive test environments using Vector CANoe/CANalyzer.
- Develop and maintain Restbus Simulation environments for unavailable or simulated ECUs.
- Analyze CAN/CAN FD messages, signals, timing, and network behavior.
- Perform network monitoring, trace analysis, debugging, and troubleshooting.
- Configure CANoe panels, databases, diagnostic consoles, and test environments.

CAPL & Test Automation

- Develop and maintain automated test cases using CAPL scripting.
- Create event-driven CAPL scripts for ECU and network behavior simulation.
- Automate repetitive validation and regression test scenarios.
- Develop and maintain CANoe test blocks and automation sequences.
- Use Python-based automation where applicable.





Diagnostics Validation

- Perform ECU diagnostics validation using UDS / ISO 14229.
- Validate diagnostic services, DTC handling, fault conditions, and diagnostic communication.
- Validate ECU flashing/programming procedures where applicable.
- Work with diagnostic tools and analyze diagnostic communication.
- Exposure to DoIP and OBD will be an advantage.

HIL / Test Bench Validation

- Execute validation activities on HIL and ECU test benches.
- Work with platforms such as dSPACE, ETAS, or Vector VT System.
- Configure test setups and troubleshoot hardware/software communication issues.
- Support integration and system-level validation activities.

Defect Management & Reporting

- Log and track defects using Jira, Azure DevOps, or similar tools.
- Capture CANoe traces, logs, screenshots, and other test evidence.
- Collaborate with software developers and system engineers for issue resolution.
- Participate in defect triage, retesting, and regression activities.

Required SkillsMust-Have

- 3–5 years of experience in automotive ECU/TCM validation.
- Robust hands-on experience with Vector CANoe / CANalyzer.
- Strong CAPL scripting experience.
- Good knowledge of CAN and CAN FD communication.
- Hands-on experience with UDS / ISO 14229 diagnostics.
- Experience in ECU validation and test case execution.
- Experience with Restbus Simulation.
- Understanding of automotive network communication and troubleshooting.




- Experience in test automation and regression testing.

Good to Have
