Overview
At Bertrandt, we are committed to delivering innovative engineering solutions that shape the future of mobility. We are seeking an experienced ADAS Systems Integration, Development & Vehicle Test Engineer to support the development, integration, testing, and validation of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Automated Driving (AD) technologies for our customer, Porsche, in San Jose, California.
The successful candidate will play a key role in end-to-end feature development, software and hardware integration, vehicle commissioning, test execution, data analysis, and issue resolution. This position requires a hands-on engineer who is comfortable working with development vehicles, sensors, ECUs, measurement systems, and globally distributed engineering teams.
What You'll Do
ADAS Systems Development & Integration
- Develop and refine ADAS/AD feature requirements, customer functions, and engineering specifications.
- Support feature development throughout the entire lifecycle, from concept and integration through validation and release.
- Create validation strategies, test plans, acceptance criteria, and scenario-based test catalogs.
- Manage requirements and system interfaces across software, ECUs, sensors, vehicle networks, and supporting systems.
- Apply systems engineering methodologies, including Automotive SPICE, Scrum, Functional Safety, and SOTIF practices.
Software Integration & Vehicle Commissioning
- Integrate and deploy ADAS software, ECUs, sensors, and computing platforms into development vehicles.
- Perform software flashing, configuration, calibration, startup, and system verification activities.
- Maintain software baselines, vehicle configurations, release documentation, and compatibility records.
- Troubleshoot software and hardware integration issues through diagnostics, log analysis, and communication trace evaluation.
- Ensure development vehicles remain operational, reproducible, and ready for testing activities.
Vehicle Testing & Validation
- Conduct vehicle-level, integration, regression, smoke, simulation, and road testing activities.
- Execute local and cross-country test drives while maintaining safety and compliance requirements.
- Verify vehicle readiness and troubleshoot issues identified during testing.
- Document test results, defects, and corrective actions in internal systems.
- Support release readiness assessments and validation signoff activities.
Measurement Systems & Data Analysis
- Install, configure, and maintain data acquisition and measurement systems within development vehicles.
- Integrate sensors, network interfaces, data loggers, synchronization systems, and onboard computing platforms.
- Analyze measurement data to evaluate feature performance and identify root causes of system issues.
- Commission and calibrate sensors and data collection equipment.
- Maintain accurate records of hardware, software, calibration status, and network topology.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work closely with software developers, systems engineers, validation teams, workshop personnel, and project managers.
- Coordinate with international engineering teams, including engineering partners in Germany.
- Provide technical guidance, troubleshooting support, and setup documentation.
- Escalate safety, quality, schedule, and technical risks when necessary.
