Your Title: Software Test Engineer - Control Systems Job Location: Westminster, CO Our Department: Trimble AgIS
Are you interested in identifying and delivering disruptive cutting-edge vehicle system technologies?
What You Will Do You will be joining the core team developing advanced motion control systems of off-highway industrial machinery in the agriculture and construction industries, such as tractors, harvesters, dozers, excavators, etc . The work will include developing automated testing tools, scripts, and procedures to evaluate and validate the performance and quality of the code the team develops. You will support the development team with in field data collection required to aid with control system software and tools development as well as for use in your software testing efforts.
Assist the transition of testing from on-vehicle to HIL/SIL/MIL simulation environments in order to expedite development speed, improve quality, and reduce operating costs.
Develop and execute test plans/procedures at all levels of test: MIL/SIL, HIL and On-vehicle.
Help stand-up a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testbench and create HIL test procedures
Write model-/software-in-the-loop (MIL/SIL) test cases to improve overall test coverage
Conduct on-vehicle testing for plant model validation/development and to support RCCA analysis of difficult software functional and performance issues.
Collect vehicle data logs following rigorous test methodologies.
Develop data analysis scripts that present result in a clear, concise manner that enables developers to quickly understand your conclusions (issue, performance baseline, etc)
