Your Title: Software Test Engineer - Control Systems
Job Location: Westminster, CO
Our Department: Trimble AgISAre you interested in identifying and delivering disruptive cutting-edge
vehicle system technologies?What You Will Do
You will be joining the core team developing advanced motion control systems
of off-highway industrial machinery in the agriculture and construction
industries, such as tractors, harvesters, dozers, excavators, etc .
The work will include developing automated testing tools, scripts, and
procedures to evaluate and validate the performance and quality of the code
the team develops. You will support the development team with in field data
collection required to aid with control system software and tools development
as well as for use in your software testing efforts.Assist the transition of testing from on-vehicle to HIL/SIL/MIL simulation
environments in order to expedite development speed, improve quality, and
reduce operating costs.Develop and execute test plans/procedures at all levels of test:
MIL/SIL, HIL and On-vehicle.Help stand-up a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testbench and create HIL test
proceduresWrite model-/software-in-the-loop (MIL/SIL) test cases to improve
overall test coverageConduct on-vehicle testing for plant model validation/development and to
support RCCA analysis of difficult software functional and performance issues.Collect vehicle data logs following rigorous test methodologies.Develop data analysis scripts that present result in a clear, concise manner
that enables developers to quickly understand your conclusions (issue,
performance baseline, etc)Working with C, Python, Matlab/Simulink or other scripting
languages to get the job doneWhat Skills & Experience You Should Bring5+ years with control system test experience for dynamic physical systems
(e.g. ground vehicles)Bachelor, Masters or higher Engineering degree is required in a related
field such as Computer Engineering/Science, Robotics Engineering,
Aerospace Engineering, Mechatronics EngineeringProficiency with Matlab/Simulink tools as well as scripting languages such
as PythonExtensive experience with test, verification, validation and
productization of algorithmsStrong experience with data collection and organizationFamiliarity with data statistics and probability theoryAbility to travel (including international) up to 25% per yearWorks closely with stakeholders and the development team to identify testing
and validation requirement and objectives; drives to continuously improve
testing workflows and processesEffective analytical and problem solving skillsEffectively interact with a global team with excellent communication and
documentation skillsHave problem-solving and time management skills with motivation and ability to
work autonomouslyExperience with J1939 or NMEA2000 CAN CommunicationWhat Skills & Experience You Could Bring12+ years of applicable work experiencePractical controls experience, in off-highway, automotive, aerospace or
relatedHIL and SIL testing, including familiarity with HIL testbench HW/SW
(e.g. NI Veristand)GNSS+IMU based navigationAutonomous/Semi-autonomous vehicle controlExperience in safety-critical software development and familiarity with
certification processesFamiliarity with testing tools and instrumentation sensors, e.g.
potentiometers, hall effect sensors, accelerometersProficiency in effective test suite writing, demonstrating the ability to
design comprehensive tests that maximize coverage and efficiency.
