Senior Senior Virtual Test Engineer (Unable to consider OPT or CPT Candidates)

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.
• The position will be a member of the worldwide connectivity technical team and interfaces with multiple stakeholders of VW Group’s technical team members. This position investigates and develops new architectures for connected systems targeted to the US market.
