Description:

Role Overview
The Instrument Cluster & Infotainment Engineer will be responsible for testing, validating, and integrating instrument cluster (IC) and infotainment systems for commercial vehicles. The engineer will work closely with global teams to ensure specification compliance, feature robustness, diagnostics, communication network stability, and system integration.
This role requires strong hands on experience with CANoe, CAPL scripting, ETM (Engineering Test Mode), ECU Test, along with a deep understanding of CAN, LIN, diagnostics and HMI/UX behaviors.

Key Responsibilities
1. Instrument Cluster (IC) & Infotainment Feature Validation
. Perform system-level and component-level validation of cluster displays, telltales, warnings, animations, HMI, infotainment UI, audio/video, connectivity, navigation, Bluetooth, and telematics.
. Validate functional behavior against Daimler global requirements, DOORS specifications, and model-based requirements.
2. CANoe & CAPL Test Development
. Develop test scripts, simulations, and automated test sequences using CANoe & CAPL for:
o Signal-based testing (CAN/LIN/Ethernet)
o Diagnostic services (UDS/KWP)
o Fault injection
o Network load testing
. Build and maintain CANoe panels, system test harnesses, and simulation nodes.
3. ETM - Test Management tool
. Knowledge on usage of ETM tool to write test cases, requirement traceability and dashboard creation.
4. ECU-Test Automation
. Develop automated regression test suites using ECU TEST, integrate with CANoe, and execute automated test cycles.
. Analyze test results, logs, and create dashboards for defect tracking.
5. Communication & Diagnostics Testing
. Validate end-to-end communication over CAN, LIN, Automotive Ethernet.
. Perform UDS diagnostic verification including:
o DIDs
o Routines
o Sessions
o Fault memory behavior
. Conduct network robustness tests (latency, jitter, busload).
6. Integration & HIL Testing
. Perform integration tests on HiL benches for feature alignment with other ECUs such as BCM, CCU, ADAS modules, powertrain ECUs.
. Debug electrical and communication issues using oscilloscopes, multimeters, and log analyzers.
7. Defect Analysis & Reporting
. Log defects in JIRA or Daimler-specific defect management systems.
. Work with German system owners, suppliers, and cross-functional teams to resolve issues.
. Provide detailed trace logs, reproduction paths, and root-cause indicators.
8. Documentation & Compliance
. Create test plans, test procedures, traceability matrices, and validation reports.
. Ensure compliance with Daimler processes, cybersecurity guidelines, and safety procedures (ISO 26262 awareness).
