In-Vehicle Test Engineer

Project description

LUXOFT is one of the major Software Services companies world-wide. We deliver professional software services in multiple business verticals such as Finance, Automotive, and Digital Transformation. Supporting large Vehicle Manufacturers in the area of Development, Production and Aftersales is Luxoft's ambition.

The Software inside a vehicle was traditionally expected to be a very controlled and self-contained environment. Bringing cars into an "always online" mode changes a lot in the overall picture of the vehicle manufacturer. Luxoft's goal is to empower our customers, with deep domain knowledge and smart solutions, to develop cars of the future. Great mechanical engineering is not the only criteria anymore for delivering the best cars in the world. Using state of the art software technologies are key to provide the requested user experience.

About the Project:

The customer is developing an edge runtime system for the new vehicle architecture. The manual test cases are already developed and an automation test framework exists. The test framework uses Azure Pipelines to execute test cases on a Test PC via Robot Framework. Python is used to develop support functions (checking preconditions on the test setup like version numbers). The Test Object / Setup is running in a Ubuntu / Linux environment.

The System to be tested is an in-vehicle component connected to the Cloud. The test cases are a mix of complex and straightforward test cases and expect Linux system and networking know-how as well as basic python skills.

The goal of the project is to ensure regulatory guidelines for several data collection use cases by manual testing in the vehicle and increase of number of automated test cases and extend the test setup for Hardware in the Loop and prototyping in the next phase.
