Simulation Engineer for Driverless Vehicles Software Testing

Virtual test methods are essential for the software development of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving (AD) functions. In the role of simulation engineer, you are responsible for the further development and maintenance of existing vehicle simulation systems. You create virtual world scenes for scenario-based testing and develop analysis tools for the simulation output data. You can benefit from your experience in software development by being familiar with common continuous integration and testing strategies and tools.
As a team player, you appreciate learning from colleagues and are happy to share your insights with them. You see an opportunity for your personal development in working on projects distributed around the world and in international teams.
Your tasks:
-    Interface with the system requirements and safety teams
-    Collaborate with the agile simulation expert team
-    Develop and improve virtual test methods with emphasis on vehicle systems simulation
-    Design test cases and implement them using simulation tools e.g. IPG CarMaker
-    Program automated data analysis software with Python 
-    Integrate test tools to the automated CI/CT platform
-    Analyze test data and report out to project team
