System Test Engineer- MCU

Job description

Business Unit: EPS Mobility Role: System Tester – MCU (Motor Control Unit) The System Tester for Motor Control Unit (MCU) is responsible for end-to-end verification and validation of motor control systems across bench, HIL/SIL, inverter test rigs, dyno, and vehicle-level environments. The role ensures the MCU meets requirements for functionality, performance, robustness, diagnostics, reliability, and compliance under real-world operating conditions and corner cases. Key Responsibilities • Create and maintain system test strategy, test plans, and test matrices aligned to product requirements. • Derive test scenarios from system requirements, use cases, and safety/quality goals. • Define test coverage across operating modes (normal, derating, limp-home, fault modes) and environmental conditions. • Develop and execute tests for motor control MCU functions, such as: • Start/stop sequences, torque/speed control response, mode transitions • Regeneration and braking coordination (where applicable) • Thermal derating, voltage/current limitations, and protection behaviors • Build and automate tests on HIL rigs (e.g., dSPACE/NI/Vector), and bench setups including inverter + motor + load. • Develop automated regression suites for repeated validation: • Test scripting (Python/CAPL/MATLAB/Simulink Test or tool-specific frameworks) • CI-friendly execution and reporting (where applicable) • Maintain test artifacts: scripts, configuration files, datasets, and baselines. Qualifications • Bachelor’s/Master’s in Electrical/Electronics, Embedded Systems, Mechatronics, or related. • 3–8+ years experience in system testing/validation of embedded ECUs (automotive/industrial). • Strong understanding of Motor control systems and inverter basics (PMSM/BLDC/IM fundamentals helpful) • ECU testing lifecycle, test design techniques, and defect management • Hands-on experience with at least one: • HIL platforms (dSPACE, NI, Vector, etc.) • Bench testing with inverter + motor setups and measurement equipment • Comfortable with automotive networks & tools: • CAN/LIN/Ethernet, UDS diagnostics, CANoe/CANalyzer (or equivalent) • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. • Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration. • Ability to manage multiple integration tasks across vehicle programs. • Detail-oriented with a focus on safety, performance, and reliability. • Passion for electrification and automotive innovation.
