Full Description

Project Description

The Test Tools Developer/Integrator is a hands-on engineer who works on development and brings up/debugs "Test Automation" solutions (a combination of HW or SW) necessary to test/validate/measure/record a product feature or the product itself.
The Test Tool Developer/Integrator reports Hierarchically to the Test Tools Coordinator Team Lead and functionally to the Test Tools Coordinator
The Test Tools Developer/Integrator shall be in close contact with TIAT teams around the world to define the approach to follow for the automation of test cases.
The Test Tool Developer/Integrator is part of the TIAT Team, and therefore, he is a services engineer who can be reached by several different team members (Validation, SysTest, SysIntTest, and Quality) requesting support. As part of his duties, the Test Tool Developer/Integrator shall follow up on the support request together with the "TIAT Team Leader" to prioritize activities.

Below is a list of test tools (but not limited to) that Test Tool Developer/Integrator shall support

System Validation test benches: closed loop HIL, reinjection HIL, system integration test bench, Calibration Test Bench, Continuous Integration and Continuous Testing Benches
DV/PV/EMC test benches
Vehicle rest bus simulation
Vehicle recording system, incl. vehicle fitout, ground truth reference system
Virtual validation tools—SIL, virtual sensor models, etc.
Various injection/acquisition tools to input/collect output test data from a tested Product
SW development for all of the above.

Responsibilities

Reviews requirements for Test automation provided by the project test teams (System Validation Team, Mechatronic Test Team, SW Test Team, depending on the Product Line strategy)
Development of automation solutions following the customer standard architectures by having a round table discussion with other TIAT team members.
HW procurement and inventory control
HW and SW integration of test setups
Shipment of equipment from or to other sites
Contact standard suppliers in case their support is needed for the development of a tool.
Create and update a basic L3 timing plan for "Automation Coverage" readiness.
Provides estimations in terms of Automation development efforts and costs
Keep the requester informed with the status/stage/blocking issues on the development of the automation solution.
Reach the TIAT Team Lead/Test Tool Coordinator/Requester in case support is needed.
Ensures quality and validation of the automation solution before it is released/deployed.
Create documentation for the automation solution.
Backup documentation and source code of the Automation solution, following Customer standards (SVN)
Continuous identification of areas for improvement.
Support the development, deployment, and support of benches at Customer locations in Troy, and off-site customer locations as needed
