Job Description

Who We Are

We don’t just develop embedded software — we engineer intelligence into products. The Embedded Competence Center at NTT DATA Romania brings together experts in embedded systems, firmware development, and hardware–software integration, delivering robust and high-performance solutions for complex, safety-critical environments. With strong expertise in C/C++, AUTOSAR, real-time operating systems, and communication protocols, we design scalable embedded architectures, integrate software seamlessly with hardware, and ensure compliance with industry standards. Across the industries we support — from Automotive and Industrial Automation to Smart Devices and IoT — we transform reliable embedded technology into a foundation for innovative, dependable products.

As a System Integration Test Engineer, you will be responsible for the integration, testing and validation of complex embedded automotive systems. You will work closely with System Engineering, Software Development and Integration teams, translating system requirements and architecture into effective test scenarios, executing tests on HIL environments and contributing to test automation.

The role requires previous hands-on experience in embedded systems testing, system integration or automotive validation, ideally with dSPACE, IBM Rhapsody and automotive communication protocols.

Location: Craiova, Romania – minimum 80% on-site (requiered)

What you'll be doing

• Analyze and understand system requirements, system architecture and functional models, including models defined in IBM Rhapsody.
• Derive test specifications, test scenarios and test cases based on system requirements and architecture.
• Develop and maintain automated test cases using dSPACE AutomationDesk.
• Execute and monitor tests using dSPACE AutomationDesk / ControlDesk and HIL environments.
• Perform automated, manual and exploratory testing, including basic vehicle-level checks such as smoke tests.
• Analyze system behavior and identify appropriate test boundaries, interfaces and coverage.
• Analyze test results, investigate deviations and report defects using ALM and requirements management tools such as DOORS NextGen and EWM.
• Set up, configure and maintain HIL test environments, including HW/SW simulations.
• Connect and configure ECUs, restbus simulations, measurement devices and test benches.
• Perform measurements and collect technical evidence using oscilloscopes, signal traces, logs and other instrumentation.
• Support root-cause analysis by correlating test results, communication signals and system behavior.
• Collaborate within Agile development teams, providing testing input during sprint planning, reviews and other development activities.
• Work closely with internal and external project teams to ensure efficient integration and high-quality delivery.
• Provide on-site testing and integration support when required.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of testing processes, test coverage and automation.

What you'll bring along

• Previous professional experience in System Testing, System Integration, Verification & Validation or Embedded Software Testing, preferably within the automotive industry.
• Good understanding of electronics, embedded systems and automotive ECUs.
• Hands-on experience with HIL testing and system-level validation.
• Experience with dSPACE AutomationDesk and/or ControlDesk is highly desirable.
• Experience with IBM Rhapsody, system modeling and interpretation of system architecture diagrams is considered a strong advantage.
• Good understanding of automotive communication protocols such as CAN, LIN, Automotive Ethernet and/or FlexRay.
• Experience with test and measurement equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters and power supplies.
• Programming or scripting experience with Python, C and/or C++.
• Experience with requirements management and ALM tools, preferably DOORS NextGen and EWM.
• Ability to understand system requirements and translate them into structured and traceable test cases.
• Experience working in Agile development environments.
• ISTQB certification is considered an advantage.
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, with a structured approach to identifying and investigating system-level issues.
• Proactive and solution-oriented mindset, with an interest in continuously improving testing processes and automation.
• Good communication and collaboration skills.
• Good command of English.
