Testing Bench Manager & Test Engineer

Define and agree with the stakeholders (Customer and Continental) all the project system related requirements ensuring full understanding, development coverage and traceability according to Customer and continental processes and tools.

Plans, Execute, and report all the test activities of a project

He/she Is responsible for developing testbenchs, analyze test specifications, execute test, and evaluating tests results; all in order to verify that the system fulfils the allocated requirements (Internal and Customer related)

Defines test tool requirements develop and/or make sure the necessary tool equipment’s are available.

Support the issues/failures understanding and resolution

Requirements and Test bench Manager has to follow:

• Requirement management, processes and tools
• SiL  (Software in the Loop): Test of functionality of single software components or the complete software system
• HiL (Hardware in the Loop): Test of functionality of the complete software focusing on the interaction between software and hardware.
• Vehicle Modelling, Systems modelling in order to guarantee the Close loop testing (As on a real vehicle)
• Vehicle Modelling Validation

Reporting

The resource will report to the Requirements and test group Leader.

Tasks:

• Develop, enhance and maintain test tools & Tests Bench according to Project and Stakeholders needs
• Define/Develop/consolidate test environments (SIL, HIL, VEH)
• Create passive vehicle models
• Create Active vehicle models: modelling all the vehicle components/nodes (into virtual ECU and actuators) interfacing with the HW under tests to create a Bench test environment closed loop representing the real vehicle
• Create and maintain a methodology to update vehicle models according to the project requirements emission/Status (Active Vehicle) and according to the passive vehicle development status
• Validate vehicle models (Active and passive)
• Ensure the Maintenance of the Benches needed (HIL, SIL, Customer Bench) according to stakeholders needs
• Bus communication set-up between model signals and ECU or between two different ECUs (the ECUs could be either physical or simulated depending on the system requirements);
• CarMaker scenarios definition and/or adaption depending on desired requirements.
• to support in the fault injection plan and proper signal communication.
• SW development such as HMI: such as on vehicle including dashboard, Key Status (or Ignition Working Condition or vehicle state handling), maneuvers definition, Automatic failure generation set up, Vehicle BUS definition as easy as possible (Example staring from dbc files)
• Support to create a flexible architecture to ensure the SIL/MIL/HIL closed loop simulation on OEM & Conti Test benches.
• Test Cases according to Customer & Internal Continental needs for reaching a full test scope
• Test Automation when feasible
• Data collecting / Failure analysis/ reports generation
• Establish Test Management Board (TMB)
• Monitoring of release test activities, support deviation.
• Review test results and monitoring of action items.
• Develop a project specific test strategy
• Define test activities & schedule (TPS)
• Support and establish customer specific test
• Responsible for test related customer Communication, FlashLoader, Network Management, Transport Protocol, Physical Layer & Diagnostic
• Create release recommendation
• Coordinate and align test strategy, test benches, test tools cross locations

Additional responsibility & Support:

• Support of different requirements engineers for the correct requirements analysis, interpretation, and internal requirement translation for the developers
• Define a requirement implementation timing and traceability
• Manage the requirements changes request and requirements release packages.

Quality & Stakeholders satisfactions

• Ensure Quality in all the related responsibility, Processes according to Continental &  Customer requirements
• Customer & CES/Continental Interfaces
• Interface with other department personnel in resolution of development issues from above (System, SW, Architecture, …)
• Establish Lessons learned process & feedback culture within the Conti & OEM interfaces
