Description
Join Ford's Electric Vehicles, Digital and Design (EVDD) team to help deliver the company's vision of a fully electric transportation future. As a Software Test Engineer - IVI, you will be responsible for validating the functionality and stability of platform software, multimedia, and connectivity features for infotainment software. You will perform deep-dive troubleshooting on test failures, utilizing system logs and tools to isolate the root cause before reporting. Additionally, you will manage and maintain the test bench environment, ensuring software and hardware are correctly set up for testing.
You will have a bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent combination of relevant education and experience. You should have experience creating test plans for code changes, including smoke test, targeted regression, and testing high-risk areas such as state changes, platform upgrades, and power cycles. You should also be able to apply a white-box testing mindset, designing tests that leverage knowledge of internal components (services, APIs, middleware) rather than relying solely on "black box" validation.
You will be hands-on with hardware/software integration experience, including bench bring-up, flashing, and end-to-end feature validation across HW/SW boundaries. You should have working knowledge of Linux (CLI, logs/journalctl, networking, permissions, scripting) for debugging, automation, and test execution. Experience with Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing, including setup/configuration, signal simulation, test execution, and result analysis, is also preferred.
You will be part of an agile team of doers pioneering our EV future by working collaboratively, staying focused on only what matters, and delivering excellence day in and day out. You will have the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects, from developing new features to improving existing ones. You will also have the chance to collaborate with cross-functional teams, including engineering, design, and product management.
If you are passionate about software development and testing, and want to be part of a dynamic and innovative team, then this is the perfect opportunity for you.
