Volkswagen Group Services GmbH 4.4
Quality assurance lead job in Belmont, CA
Worldwide, the Volkswagen Group has a long tradition of dramatic innovations. The Volkswagen Group with its headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany is one of the world's leading automobile manufacturers and the largest carmaker in Europe. The Group comprises twelve brands from seven European countries: Volkswagen Passenger Cars, Audi, SEAT, ŠKODA, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche, Ducati, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Scania and MAN.
Brief Role Description
At the Innovation & Engineering Center California (IECC), we represent the Volkswagen Group in applied research and development. Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, we create bold new ideas for the Volkswagen, Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini, Bugatti and Porsche brands. We're a team of engineers, designers, scientists, and psychologists looking to develop innovations for future generations of cars, and to transfer technologies from many industries and research institutions into the automotive domain. Our mission is to drive change which means we are not only impacting one of the world's largest car makers, but also the lives of millions of people. Are you ready to join us?
Role Summary
The Virtual Test Engineer will own the end‑to‑end test engineering for virtual ECUs-from V‑ECU creation (AUTOSAR Classic/Adaptive) and restbus/environment modeling, to deterministic simulation, fault injection, conformance, diagnostics/flash, and scalable CI execution. You will build and operate a virtual test platform that exercises production software stacks (communication, diagnostics, safety/security, OTA readiness) with measurable coverage and release‑grade. You partner with software, systems, safety, cybersecurity, HIL, and OTA teams to ensure the virtual pipeline finds defects earlier than HIL/vehicle, at fleet scale.

Establish co‑simulation topologies: MIL/Plant models (Simulink/Modelica/FMU/FMI), bus/network simulators, and virtualization of sensors/actuators with IO semantics and timing fidelity.
Communication, Diagnostics & Flashing in SIL - (10%)
Model and validate Automotive Ethernet stacks: SOME/IP & SOME/IP‑SD, DoIP, AVB/TSN where applicable; simulate VLAN/QoS and congestion scenarios.
Exercise CAN/CAN‑FD, LIN, FlexRay via restbus simulations; verify UDS services, ISO‑TP segmentation and XCP/CCP measurement/calibration flows.
Implement DoIP‑routed UDS flashing in SIL with eligibility/state checks, A/B or recovery slots, anti‑rollback, and bootloader handshake emulation (timings, NRCs).
Develop restbus models for gateways, sensors, actuators, and peer ECUs using Vector CANoe/CAPL (incl. CANoe4SW Server), Python, and co‑simulation bridges.
Build service catalogs and SOME/IP service mocks, including late‑joiner/re‑announce behaviors and instance collision tests; emulate SecOC/E2E protections.
Create plant models (Simulink/Modelica, FMU/FMI) for closed‑loop testing of control functions; parameterize with production DBC/ARXML/LDF.
Execute fault campaigns: bus saturation, frame loss/reordering, clock drift, time sync perturbations (gPTP), power cycles/brown‑outs (virt), memory pressure, and network fuzzing (UDS/DoIP/SOME‑IP).
Apply protocol fuzzing (boofuzz, Scapy, Peach, AFL++ harnesses), mutation testing, and error seeding to validate diagnostic/communication hardening.
Model electrical transients (ISO 7637‑2, load dump) effects at the software boundary and verify recovery logic within the V‑ECU.
Architect headless SIL farms (Docker/K8s runners, epoxy test environments) executing parallel suites (thousands of SIL testcases per commit/nightly).
Integrate CI/CD (Jenkins/GitLab/Azure DevOps), artifact management (SBOM: SPDX/CycloneDX), test results (JUnit/Allure), and flaky test quarantine + triage dashboards.
Implement golden capture/compare pipelines (PCAP/MDF4/CSV) and scenario versioning (OpenSCENARIO/OpenDRIVE/ASAM OSI if AD/ADAS is in scope).
