As a Virtual ECU Engineer, you will be part of the Software Organization (SWx) supporting global SW-driven engineering teams. The ideal candidate will have a proactive test-first/test-right-now mindset, strong expertise in virtual test platforms (MIL/SIL/HIL), and the ability to collaborate effectively in agile teams to drive verification and validation from early design through validation.

Job Title:Virtual ECU Engineer

Location:Auburn Hills, MI (Onsite)

What's the Job?

• Develop virtual test platforms (xIL) for next-generation vehicle controller testing, including soft and virtual ECU generation across multiple virtual ECU levels.
• Build and evolve toolchains and methodologies for integration, open-loop and closed-loop testing, and deployment across domains such as ADAS/AD, Energy, E-powertrain, Body, Cockpit, and Connected services.
• Work side by side with SW development and test engineers within agile teams from the early design phase through validation, challenging design and logical architecture with a test-first/test-right-now mentality.
• Advance virtualization technologies and improve troubleshooting/root-cause analysis, automation, and methodology by applying CI/CD mindset across abstraction levels—from continuous design verification to continuous testing and deployment in highly virtualized environments.
• Support interdisciplinary agile feature development and validation for advanced capabilities including ADAS and EV systems.

What's Needed?

• Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related Engineering degree from an accredited university.

• Thorough understanding of embedded software development (C, C++), AUTOSAR software architecture, auto code generation process and tools, and experience with software such as Visual Basic, Python, VBnet.

What's in it for me?

• Opportunity to help build virtual ECU testing capabilities from the ground up within a modern, agile, SW-driven engineering organization.
• Chance to set new benchmarks in virtualization, automation, and CI/CD-driven verification and deployment practices.
• Work in an environment that starts testing from day one—validating requirements while also improving design quality early.
