Virtual ECU for SW Update Campaign Simulation and Continuous Diagnostic Validation

Context

Ampere Software Technology Tunisia, Renault Group’s subsidiary, develops software, architectures and diagnostics for the Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) platform. The internship contributes to the development of connected and autonomous vehicles.

Objective

Develop configurable virtual ECU images to simulate factory software update campaigns and enable automated, hardware-independent validation of Ampere’s diagnostic stack within a CI/CD pipeline.

Scope of work

• Design and implement configurable virtual PIU environments able to emulate ECU diagnostic and software update behaviors.
• Develop automated simulation scenarios covering programming sessions, security access, DTC handling and software downloads.
• Integrate the virtual platform into a CI/CD environment to support continuous validation of diagnostic functions.
• Generate automated test evidence and validation reports without physical hardware dependencies.

Required skills

• Embedded Linux, Android or Automotive Android.
• C++, Rust and Python.
• Docker, containerization and GitLab CI/CD.
