Daimler Truck is hiring ISIL Principle engineers!
We are looking for a highly experienced and technically driven Principal Engineer to lead integration-level Software-in-the-Loop (SiL) testing for next-generation automotive embedded systems. This role demands deep technical expertise in ECU virtualization, embedded integration practices, and strong domain-level exposure across areas like Powertrain, ePowertrain, or ADAS.
The ideal candidate will bring a solution-focused mindset, strong analytical skills, and a hands-on approach to building robust and scalable SiL environments. You will work at the intersection of embedded software, virtualization, and domain-level functionality, contributing directly to our left-shift testing strategy and enabling future-ready SDV (Software-Defined Vehicle) test frameworks.
