This role is a part of TRATON Group R&D, located in Södertälje, Sweden. Internal applicants from TRATON Group R&D and BID are prioritized for this position. Candidates from the broader TRATON Group (including brands) are welcome to apply and may be reviewed based on business needs.

As a Test Developer at Traton R&D, you will develop a broad competence within the electric vehicle control system and understand how different functions work together in the software. You will have the opportunity to use your creativity and innovative ideas to find effective ways to verify the product and also improve our methods. The team specifically works with software that controls charging, climatization, and auxiliaries in the vehicle, as well as testing the cyber security aspects of the software.

Job Responsibilities

Your tasks will include system testing of software, including requirements review, analyzing test results, test case creation, and the creation of test scripts for automated tests. Testing will be performed in different test environments (SIL, HIL, & Vehicle). The team is working in both VECTOR-based rigs that they maintain themselves, and in dSpace rigs with an additional SIL environment.

Close collaboration with software developers and requirement writers is a natural part of your role in delivering high-quality products to our customers.
