High Integrity Software Test Engineer

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 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 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.
