Job Description
At Gatik, we connect people of extraordinary talent and experience to an opportunity to create a more resilient supply chain and contribute to our environment’s sustainability.
Key Responsibilities
- The Senior V&V Engineer – HIL & Bench will build, execute, and scale Gatik’s hardware-in-the-loop testing infrastructure. In this role, you will test autonomous vehicle software on production compute units, ECUs, sensors, and drive-by-wire hardware before code ever touches a physical vehicle. You will design real-time hardware test benches, execute fault-injection suites, and validate ASIL functional safety mechanisms under hardware-accurate conditions.
- This role is onsite 5 days a week at our Santa Clara, CA office!
- HIL Architecture & Maintenance: Design, construct, and maintain multi-ECU HIL test benches representing complete AV vehicle electronics.
- Sensor Injection & Signal Simulation: Integrate sensor simulation technology into real-time test setups.
- Hardware Fault Injection: Develop automated physical and electrical fault-injection test suites (e.g., open circuit, short to ground, latency spikes, corrupted signals, power dropouts).
- Automated Test Frameworks: Write robust Python and C++ test scripts within CI/CD pipelines to execute overnight regression suites on physical HIL rigs.
- ISO 26262 Hardware Verification: Execute requirements-based testing to generate formal V&V audit evidence for ISO 26262 hardware functional safety compliance.
- Cross-Team Issue Triaging: Root-cause hardware-software interface bugs, bus timing errors, and ECU communication anomalies alongside Hardware and Autonomy engineering teams.
Requirements
- Education: B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or Robotics.
- Experience: 5+ years in HIL test environment development and execution for autonomous driving, ADAS, or automotive systems.
- Technical Mastery:
- Direct experience in ISO 26262 V&V sign-off audits for production vehicle releases.
- Salary Range - $160,000- $260,000
