High-Integrity Software Test Engineer (Model-Based Embedded Software)

The Team:

Join JLR's Vehicle Platform (VP) team at TBSI supporting development of high‑integrity propulsion control software. Propulsion Controls is a fast‑paced, dynamic area at the core of JLR's Autonomous, Connected, Electric and Shared future. You will help deliver high‑integrity embedded software and control algorithms developed in a model‑based environment and deployed to safety‑critical vehicle ECUs, with particular focus on BEV and HEV control systems.

The Role:

We are seeking experienced Software Test Engineers who will focus on the verification and validation of safety‑critical, model‑based embedded software relating to propulsion controls software.

Responsibilities:

Develop and execute unit‑level and component‑level verification for model‑based embedded software.
Build and maintain test harnesses for MIL, SIL, PIL and HIL testing environments.
Perform static model checks, code quality reviews and test coverage analysis.
Analyse test results, identify defects, raise issues and support engineers in root‑cause resolution.
Support the creation and refinement of test cases, test strategies and verification plans aligned with software and system requirements.
Ensure comprehensive traceability between requirements, tests and verification evidence.
Support integration testing and ECU build verification activities.
Participate in safety‑focused reviews and ensure testing practices align with ISO 26262, ASPICE and internal QMS expectations.
Contribute to automated test workflows within CI/CD pipelines (Git/GitLab).
Collaborate with software developers, systems engineers, FuSa and QA teams to ensure robust verification processes.

Knowledge, Skills and Experience:

Essential:

Strong understanding of testing methodologies for embedded control systems.
Experience with MATLAB/Simulink simulation environments and model‑based test practices.
Knowledge of MIL/SIL/PIL/HIL verification techniques.
Understanding of ISO 26262 and ASPICE expectations for software verification.
Ability to analyse test outcomes, diagnose issues and communicate findings clearly.
Experience with CI/CD pipelines and version control tools (e.g., Git/GitLab).

Desirable:

Experience with automotive test tools and platforms (dSPACE, ETAS, Vector).
Familiarity with static analysis and model quality tools.
Knowledge of automotive architectures, networks and propulsion systems.
Experience working in safety‑critical or regulated industries.
Familiarity with requirements and lifecycle management tools.
