Early Career Software Test Developer - Propulsion Thermal Management

Role overview

Work arrangement

• Hybrid role requiring attendance at Markham Elevation Centre at least three times per week, or at another frequency set by the business.

Responsibilities

• Translate system requirements, functions, and Behavioral Test Specifications into traceable test cases, procedures, and acceptance criteria; maintain links among requirements, test assets, results, and defects.
• Develop, maintain, and execute automated System Behavior Tests and functional tests across CoSim/SIL, with targeted HIL bench and vehicle validation when needed.
• Validate battery heating and cooling, power-electronics and drive-unit thermal protection, cabin conditioning, request coordination, sensors, actuators, diagnostics, and degraded operating modes.
• Check CoSim package readiness, interfaces, configurations, virtual ECU behavior, plant-model connectivity, HWIO behavior, and environment health.
• Review regression results, isolate product defects from simulation, plant-model, infrastructure, configuration, or test-script issues, and route issues to owners.
• Document failures with versions, conditions, calibrations, logs, expected and actual behavior, and test references; track defects and verify fixes through retest and regression.
• Partner with engineering, quality, integration, calibration, and validation teams to define test scope, review specifications, resolve ambiguity, and support milestone readiness.
• Maintain test scripts, procedures, test data, dashboards, and release documentation; share lessons, training materials, reusable patterns, and best practices.
• Participate in product, architecture, model, and test-environment reviews and advise on testability, observability, requirements, system boundaries, and verification strategy.

Required qualifications

• Currently pursuing a bachelor's or master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Expected to graduate between December 2026 and June 2027.
• Available to work full-time, 40 hours per week.

Preferred qualifications

• Knowledge of vehicle thermal-management systems, refrigeration and refrigerant systems, HVAC, heat pumps, and associated controls.
• Experience with Robot Framework or Autobot for system-level validation and regression testing.
• Proficiency in C, C++, Python, or comparable programming or scripting languages.
• Familiarity with Behavior-Driven Development and Gherkin syntax.
• Experience with ETAS INCA, Intrepid Vehicle Spy, or similar data-acquisition and vehicle-network tools.
• Experience with MATLAB and Simulink for plant-model development and integration; basic familiarity with GT-Power, Amesim, or CarSim.
• Familiarity with CAN, LIN, SPI, automotive Ethernet, virtualization, software integration, or virtual ECU environments.
• Familiarity with Power BI or Databricks dashboards, SQL, Databricks in Azure Cloud, data storage, databases, and data-processing frameworks.
• Ability to translate engineering or business questions into data-driven solutions; experience developing or applying AI/ML solutions.

Compensation

• The stated salary range is $73,900 to $110,900; the offered base salary depends on position-related factors.

Benefits

• Benefits include paid time off, healthcare, dental and vision coverage, life insurance, pension contributions, and a GM Vehicle Purchase Plan.
