Position involves software release testing and planning, calibration, issue tracking and resolution, new feature specification, and prototype validation. It will also include requirement specification for new and existing powertrain control software.

Job Responsibilities:

• Diagnostic SW tool development support: Support development and implementation of new powertrain diagnostic software tools. Provide troubleshooting assistance during phase-in of new diagnostic tools.
• Software analysis, optimization & validation: Review existing software to create system-level diagrams. Identify and propose new SW features, create feature requirements, request prototype software, validate and prove new features using HIL/SIL/vehicle test environments, request and plan release roll-out to all relevant vehicle platforms. Per project needs, create requirements to document existing control functions.
• Release testing: Align testing tasks with software release planning. Identify testing needs, define testing goals, create test cases, collect and analyze testing data, document testing results. Provide release recommendation to management.
• Function Ownership and Calibration: Be the contact person and owner of assigned software functions. Calibrate CPC OBD Coordination functions to meet requirements. Clarify issues with internal customers. Identify and report function deficiency, follow up through resolution. Submit calibration changes and document the changes following the release process.
