You operate at the critical junction where the factory ends and the customer journey begins. Your mission is to architect the intelligent, scalable operating system that performs the final validation of our vehicles before they ever reach a customer's driveway. You ensure that the first moment of ownership is pure joy, unmarred by technical oversight or cosmetic imperfection. More critically, you will transform this validation phase into the ultimate feedback loop. You will capture high-fidelity data to drive systemic improvements in the factory, while simultaneously driving rigorous operational execution in the field to ensure vehicle presentation is immaculate. You are the operational bridge ensuring quality is a closed-loop system that centers the customer at every stage. Responsibilities The Customer Advocate: You never lose sight of the human being waiting for their keys. You view every defect-whether a software bug or a smudge on the glass-as a potential friction point in a customer's adventure, and you fight relentlessly to eliminate them.

Caterpillar 4.3
Quality engineer job in Rossville, IL
Your Work Shapes the World at Caterpillar Inc.
When you join Caterpillar, you're joining a global team who cares not just about the work we do - but also about each other. We are the makers, problem solvers, and future world builders who are creating stronger, more sustainable communities. We don't just talk about progress and innovation here - we make it happen, with our customers, where we work and live. Together, we are building a better world, so we can all enjoy living in it.
This position will work on the Caterpillar Autonomous program - the role will include system integration and validation (SI&V) activities primarily conducted in Lab focused and occasionally on Test Track and Proving Grounds with Hardware & Software installation, integration, and validation of the various autonomous onboard and offboard technology components in Hardware-in-the-Loop environment.
The Autonomy Validation Engineer position installs, integrates, validates, and troubleshoots autonomy hardware and software systems used for Autonomous machines. This generally includes onboard and offboard systems validation work that integrates with current machine systems and includes the autonomy sub-system areas of Planning, Perception and Positioning technologies, as well as infrastructure areas supporting development of these sub-systems (calibration, simulation, analytics, machine learning development pipelines).
What You Will Do:
Develop and maintain MATLAB/Simulink real-time models for machine dynamics, including actuator/ECM I/O behaviors, to enable closed-loop validation, fault injection, and regression testing on HIL benches.
Configure, operate, and troubleshoot dSPACE SCALEXIO benches using ConfigurationDesk, and ControlDesk, including deployment, parameter/variant management, automated test execution, and bench bring-up activities supporting Autonomous system integration.
Design, build, and validate wiring harnesses and interconnects; document and communicate end-to-end electrical interfaces between multiple ECMs supporting machine and technology integration, including power distribution, grounding/shielding, and subsystem-to-subsystem connectivity.
Apply electrical engineering fundamentals to verify harness integrity and bench interface circuitry (power/protection, isolation, filtering, shielding, signal integrity) for reliable integrated HIL operation across multiple controllers, components, actuator loads and signal types.
Integrate and validate communications across CAN/J1939 plus Ethernet/TCP-IP within an integrated architecture, including troubleshooting of bandwidth, timing, and interoperability issues affecting autonomy functions and data transport where applicable.
Integrate and validate workflows that interface with back office (client/server connectivity, site configuration, and operational readiness) to support end-to-end autonomy validation scenarios on HIL benches and test environments.
Integrate and validate sensor simulation for autonomous machines-LiDAR point clouds, Radar detections/tracks, and Camera, GPS, IMU-ensuring correct interfaces, timing/synchronization, calibration alignment, and controllable fault modes (dropouts, noise, occlusions, latency) to exercise perception and system behaviors in HIL.
Drive structured troubleshooting to isolate and resolve issues spanning full system level integration-software defects, interface mismatches, timing/network conflicts, sensor simulation fidelity or synchronization gaps, workflow issues, and HIL bench design shortcomings-then implement corrective actions with traceable evidence (logs, captures, test artifacts, documentation).
What skills will you have:
Industry Knowledge: Knowledge of mining technology, trends, directions, major issues, regulatory considerations, and trendsetters; ability to apply industry knowledge appropriately to diverse situations.
Problem Solving: Knowledge of approaches, tools, techniques for recognizing, anticipating, and resolving organizational, operational or process problems; ability to apply knowledge of problem solving appropriately to diverse situations.
Software Product Testing: Knowledge of software product testing; ability to design, plan, and execute testing strategies and tactics to ensure software product quality and adherence to stated requirements including application of workflow tools (ex. HP Quality Center, Azure DevOps)..
Programming: Knowledge of relevant programming languages and tools; ability to test, debug, troubleshoot software algorithms.
Technical Troubleshooting: Knowledge of technical troubleshooting approaches, tools, and techniques; ability to anticipate, recognize, and resolve technical issues on hardware, software, application, or operation.
Top Candidates Must Have:
Bachelor's degree in engineering or computer science, or an advanced degree (Masters or Ph.D.) in related field.
Experience with design, development, validation, or product support role of complex autonomous vehicle systems
Knowledge in iterative testing using agile methodologies. Understanding of V-model for verification & validation
Experience with model-based simulation programs.
Extensive experience with electrical systems including harness & electrical integration, interface and sensors.
Advanced data analysis and systems analysis efforts and skills are needed to help troubleshoot complex issues from test or customer sites, and to examine information from test sites to improve overall systems performance.
Good communication is expected for technical status updates, test plan reviews, and when working closely with other autonomy validation engineers, support teams and product support.
Knowledge of AI concepts, technologies and methodologies to develop and implement/apply AI products in specific industry domain to achieve business goals.
