Contribute to the continuous improvement of verification methods.
Partner with the greater software organization, systems engineering, and validation groups
Define and review software requirements.
Conduct hardware-in-loop testing of prototype as well as product software.
Act as an independent reviewer of Simulink models to ensure that all software meets quality standards.
Prepare and participate in design reviews.
Document or participate in the documentation of the software including architecture and design detail, unit testing, anomaly tracking and reports.
Bachelor’s Degree with 6 to 9 years of relevant experience, or advanced degree with 4+ years of relevant experience.
Experience developing software to control complex dynamical systems, preferably in regulated industries.
Experience in analysis of complex dynamical systems (mechatronics preferred)
Proficient use of Simulink to design and develop complex software products.
