Our client is one of the largest global Tier 1 supplier to the Automotive industry and they are responsible for the largest Autonomous driving project in the car industry. We are collaborating with the client and pulling together an all-star team

Scope of work

• The Systems Tools Engineer is responsible to create a tool concept and the development of tools to support product development and testing at the system level. Tools could be: simulations, test automation software and hardware or HIL-systems, etc.

System Tool Concept

• Acquire, develop, understand and document system tool requirements based on tool requests from internal/external customers.
• Manage and negotiate system tool requirements, change requests and unwritten expectations.
• Develop and document system tool architecture and design in an unambiguous, clear and understandable way.
• Specify test cases according to the system tool requirements
• Plan and estimate tool development for internal and external implementation
• Review design documents like requirement specifications, test specifications, Architectures, etc.

System Tool Development & Support

• Manage tool projects by comparing of plan (schedule) vs. progress
• Develop and extend tools, troubleshooting and fix tool defects based on ALM tickets (Tasks created from Planning, ChangeRequest or Defect items)
• Create tool documentation for user (e.g. User Manuals, Troubleshooting Guides, and Installation Guides etc.)
• Execute tests and review for tool releases and documentation ensuring that the system tool performs per requirements.
• Support of internal and external customer by delivery, maintenance, troubleshooting and improvements of implemented tools
