Embedded Firmware Validation Engineer

About the role

Applied Intuition is seeking an Embedded Firmware Validation Engineer to design and execute robust hardware‑in‑the‑loop (HIL) test cases for the AUTOSAR Classic RTOS and AUTOSAR Adaptive POSIX stacks. You will validate low‑level software components, communication protocols, and safety features against system and safety requirements.

Key responsibilities

• Design validation strategies for AUTOSAR Classic and Adaptive software stacks.
• Validate end‑to‑end automotive communication protocols (CAN/CAN‑FD, LIN, FlexRay, Ethernet, SOME/IP, DoIP, PDU Routing, Network Management, Transport Protocols).
• Verify Safe OS, diagnostics, platform security, and functional safety features.
• Develop and maintain automated Python (pytest) test frameworks for regression and nightly validation.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to improve coverage and release quality.
• Execute functional, robustness, boundary, timing, negative, and fault‑injection testing on HIL benches, SIL environments, restbus simulations, and target hardware.
• Investigate and debug software, communication stack, and hardware failures using trace tools, debuggers, and bus analyzers.
• Collaborate with BSW, firmware, and functional safety teams to reproduce, root‑cause, and resolve defects.

Required profile

• Mid‑level or senior engineering experience with embedded automotive software.
• Ability to design test cases, automate validation, and work closely with development teams.
