Senior Real-Time System Test Infrastructure Developer

Job Title

Senior Real-Time System Test Infrastructure Developer

Role Summary

Senior developer responsible for designing, implementing and maintaining reusable real-time test sequences and infrastructure for Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) PXI systems. The role focuses on National Instruments tools (TestStand, LabVIEW, VeriStand), restbus simulation for automotive communications, and integration/testing of AUTOSAR-based ECUs.

Experience Level

Senior. The posting identifies a senior-level role by title; no specific years-of-experience requirement was listed.

Responsibilities

Deliver and maintain reliable, reusable real-time test modules and support the test infrastructure team.

• Design, implement and maintain TestStand real-time sequences and reusable building blocks for KPI and functional validation tests.
• Develop and integrate restbus simulation models for CAN, LIN and Ethernet to support ECU testing.
• Implement and validate test sequences for AUTOSAR-based control units in real-time environments.
• Configure, troubleshoot and optimise PXI-based HIL systems and multifunction DAQ modules.
• Integrate FPGA-based test components and support HIL testing methodologies.
• Document technical specifications, usage guidelines and best practices for sequences and modules.
• Support and mentor junior test developers and participate in architecture and planning discussions to improve test infrastructure.
• Perform work that may include security-related tasks and contribute to compliance for security certifications.

Requirements

Required technical skills and expected engineering practices.

• Extensive hands-on experience with NI TestStand: sequence development, custom step types and result processing.
• Proficiency in NI LabVIEW and LabVIEW FPGA for real-time control and automation.
• Experience with NI VeriStand for deploying and managing real-time test environments.
• Familiarity with PXI hardware platforms: configuration, troubleshooting and DAQ integration.
• Experience with HIL testing methodologies and integration of FPGA-based test systems.
• Practical experience implementing restbus simulations for CAN, LIN and Ethernet.
• Understanding of AUTOSAR architecture and testing approaches for automotive ECUs.
• Software engineering best practices: modular design, version control (e.g., Git) and continuous integration pipelines.
• Strong analytical and debugging skills and effective communication within distributed teams.
• Previous experience in automotive or semiconductor embedded-systems testing is desirable.

Education Requirements

Preferred: Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mechatronics or a related technical field. Desirable certifications include Certified LabVIEW Developer (CLD) and Certified TestStand Developer. (These are listed as preferred qualifications in the source.)
