Lead System Integration Engineer

Stellantis•Auburn Hills, MI

About The Position

The Lead System Integration Engineer contributes to system integration and testing for a next-generation vehicle controller and software platform. The architecture integrates software functions for cloud connectivity and edge processing, supporting highly automated driving and advanced connectivity features. The role focuses on integrating a system of ECUs on a system bench and verifying that software across the ECUs functions reliably and securely. The engineer flashes ECU software and runs tests to verify communications across Ethernet, CAN, and LIN; assess software stability under stress; and validate diagnostics and cybersecurity features. The position may also involve setting up and maintaining system benches, including remote access. Work follows a cycle of testing, analyzing results, and implementing remediation to improve the system’s security posture. The role includes reviewing requirements, developing test cases with Python and CAPL and other tools, automating test execution on CI pipelines, and analyzing results. The engineer works closely with software design and architecture teams and cybersecurity experts, partnering with development engineers from early design through system validation. This includes integrating early implementations and requirement models, challenging design and logical architecture early, and striving for a strong end-to-end system experience. Areas of work include design verification, architecture verification, code and script development, system integration, and product validation.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
Minimum 8 years of experience in systems engineering or vehicle network development and industrialization, at least at a subsystem-domain level.
Strong technical knowledge of E/E architecture and vehicle networks, their functions, and features.
Solid understanding of LIN (ISO 17987-1) and CAN (ISO 11898-1) networks.
Basic knowledge of Ethernet networks (OA TC8) and the SOME/IP protocol.
Good understanding of automotive testing standards for distributed systems, such as ISTQB Certified Tester.
Knowledge of agile test methods, tools, and automation; proven working knowledge of one or more of DOORS Next Generation, IBM RTC, or Jira.
Strong experience in test automation using Python and CAPL.
Experience with continuous integration, testing, and deployment, including Github, Artifactory, Conan, or Teamcity.
Test automation experience using dSPACE ControlDesk, ECU Test, and Test Guide.

Nice To Haves

Experience testing in multiple development contexts, including Linux, AUTOSAR, Android, or QNX.
Experience with model-driven testing in early development stages, such as functional mockups or PoCs.
Knowledge of cybersecurity mechanisms such as MACsec (IEEE 802.1AE).
Experience in project execution roles for electrical architecture industrialization at subsystem and/or vehicle level.
Experience with Agentic AI and AI adaptation in the test cycle.
Experience with Ethernet, SOME/IP protocol, and DOIP.
