Software & Scripting: Required: Proficiency in Python scripting for automation, testing, or tooling. Networking & Protocols: Solid understanding of standard communication protocols: Ethernet, SPI, I2C, UART, CAN , and Automotive Ethernet . Hands-on familiarity with automotive testing and simulation tools, specifically Vector CANoe . Preferred / Added Value Skills Advantage: Knowledge or experience with C++ programming . Proficiency or familiarity with LabVIEW for test automation, data acquisition, or instrument control. Familiarity with Hardware-in-the-Loop ( HIL ) and Software-in-the-Loop ( SIL ) simulation and testing processes. Knowledge of automotive standards (e.g., ASPICE, ISO 26262) is a plus. What We Offer Based on Experience: For Juniors: A strong mentorship program, intensive hands-on training with industry lab equipment, scripting application, and simulation tools, deep dives into company technology, and a clear growth path. For Mid/Seniors: Ownership of complex system architectures and physical test setups, opportunities to lead technical discussions, and influence over product design.
