Summary: The role of Test Automation Engineer involves hands-on development of test automation for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) using Vector CANoe and CAPL. The engineer will translate various test cases into CAPL scripts and convert Python logic into robust implementations while collaborating with multiple teams to ensure high-quality releases. The position requires significant experience in automotive software testing, particularly with ADAS systems. This is a contract position classified as inside IR35 with hybrid working arrangements.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design, implement, and maintain automated test scripts in CAPL within Vector CANoe for ADAS ECUs and functions.
  • Translate Gherkin/KTD keyword-based and ATS manual test cases into executable CAPL automation.
  • Convert existing Python-based tests and utilities to CAPL or orchestrate Python-CANoe integrations.
  • Configure CANoe environments for CAN/LIN/FlexRay/Ethernet and execute automated regression suites.
  • Develop test stubs, signal generators, rest-bus simulations, and trace analysers for ADAS scenarios.
  • Implement and validate UDS/ISO 14229 diagnostics, DoIP, and Flash/ECU programming flows.
  • Integrate test suites with CI/CD tools and create clear test reports managing defects via Jira/Azure DevOps.
  • Work with feature owners and safety teams to define acceptance criteria and mentor junior engineers.

Key Skills:

  • Experience in automotive software testing or validation with significant Vector CANoe/CAPL experience.
  • Strong background in ADAS systems and behaviour-driven or keyword-driven testing.
  • Practical knowledge of CAN/LIN/FlexRay/Ethernet and signal databases.
  • Experience with Python for test logic/utilities and ability to port/translate tests to CAPL.
  • Hands-on with UDS diagnostics, DoIP, and logging/tracing.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD tools and defect tracking.
  • Solid understanding of software QA principles.

Detailed Description From Employer:

A contract position Inside IR35Hybrid working - 3 days onsite.Automotive ADAS experience essential. Hands-on ADAS Automation Test Engineer to build and scale test automation for advanced driver-assistance features.You will primarily work with Vector CANoe/CAPL to automate tests, translate Gherkin/KTD/ATS test cases into CAPL scripts, and convert Python test logic to robust CAPL implementations. You'll collaborate closely with system, software, and validation teams to ensure high-quality, reliable releases for production programs.

Key Responsibilities

  • Test Automation Development
  • Design, implement, and maintain automated test scripts in CAPL within Vector CANoe for ADAS ECUs and functions (e.g., ACC, AEB, LKA, APA).
  • Translate Gherkin/KTD keyword-based and ATS manual test cases into executable CAPL automation.
  • Convert existing Python-based tests and utilities to CAPL (or orchestrate Python-CANoe integrations where appropriate).
  • Test Execution & Infrastructure
  • Configure CANoe environments (databases, panels, CAPL DLLs, simulation nodes) for CAN/LIN/FlexRay/Ethernet (SOME/IP).
  • Execute automated regression suites on HIL benches / SIL environments, analyse results, and triage failures.
  • Develop test stubs, signal generators, rest-bus simulations, and trace analysers for ADAS scenarios.
  • Protocols & Diagnostics
  • Implement and validate UDS/ISO 14229 diagnostics, DoIP, and Flash/ECU programming flows as part of automation.
  • Quality, CI/CD & Reporting
  • Integrate test suites with CI/CD (e.g., Jenkins/GitLab CI); enable nightly runs and dashboards.
  • Create clear test reports (KPIs, coverage, pass/fail, trends); manage defects via Jira/Azure DevOps.
  • Contribute to test strategy, traceability to requirements (e.g., DOORS/Polarion), and coverage closure.
  • Collaboration
  • Work with feature owners, system architects, and safety teams to define acceptance criteria, edge cases, and negative tests.
  • Mentor junior engineers on CAPL best practices, Vector tooling, and test automation patterns.

Required Qualifications

  • Experience in automotive software testing or validation, with significant Vector CANoe/CAPL experience is essential.
  • Strong background in ADAS systems and behaviour-driven or keyword-driven testing (Gherkin/KTD/ATS) with demonstrable conversion to CAPL.
  • Practical knowledge of CAN/LIN/FlexRay/Ethernet (SOME/IP), signal databases (DBC/ARXML), and network simulation.
  • Experience with Python for test logic/utilities and ability to port/translate Python tests to CAPL.
  • Hands-on with UDS diagnostics, DoIP, logging/tracing (BLF/ASC), and timing/latency measurements.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, Git/GitLab), test management, and defect tracking (Jira/Azure DevOps).
  • Solid understanding of software QA principles: requirements traceability, coverage, negative/robustness testing.
