Senior Virtual Test Engineer (Unable to consider OPT or CPT Candidates)

Role Summary

·         The Virtual Test Engineer will own the end‑to‑end test engineering for virtual ECUs—from V‑ECU creation (AUTOSAR Classic/Adaptive) and restbus/environment modeling, to deterministic simulation, fault injection, conformance, diagnostics/flash, and scalable CI execution. You will build and operate a virtual test platform that exercises production software stacks (communication, diagnostics, safety/security, OTA readiness) with measurable coverage and release‑grade. You partner with software, systems, safety, cybersecurity, HIL, and OTA teams to ensure the virtual pipeline finds defects earlier than HIL/vehicle, at fleet scale.
