- Perform Model-Based Design (MBD) activities in accordance with automotive standards.
- Conduct MIL and SIL testing to validate software behavior against requirements.
- Create and maintain test harnesses and simulation environments.
- Analyze software and system requirements and implement model functionalities.
- Perform model verification, validation, and debugging activities.
- Generate auto-code using Embedded Coder/TargetLink.
- Conduct model coverage analysis and achieve required coverage targets.
- Support integration, unit testing, and defect resolution activities.
- Ensure compliance with ASPICE, MAAB guidelines, and Functional Safety requirements.
- Collaborate with System, Software Integration, Testing, and Project teams.
Required Skills :
- Strong proficiency in MATLAB, Simulink, and Stateflow.
- Experience in Model-Based Development (MBD).
- Hands-on experience with MIL and SIL testing.
- Knowledge of auto-code generation using Embedded Coder or TargetLink.
- Understanding of automotive communication protocols (CAN, LIN).
- Familiarity with version control tools such as Git and defect management tools such as Jira/Polarion.
- Knowledge of V-Model development lifecycle and ASPICE processes.
- Basic Embedded C programming skills.
Preferred Skills :
- Experience with HIL testing.
- Knowledge of AUTOSAR architecture.
- Exposure to ISO 26262 Functional Safety.
- Experience with MAAB/JMAAB guidelines.
- Test automation using Simulink Test Manager or TPT.
- Trace32 debugging knowledge.
Qualification :
- B.E./B.Tech/M.Tech in Electronics, Electrical, Instrumentation, Mechatronics, Automotive Engineering, or Computer Science.
Experience :
- 3 - 8 years of experience in Automotive Embedded Software Development and Model-Based Development.
