Component HIL SImulation and Integration Engineer

Job Description

Work Arrangement

Hybrid: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Milford MI three times per week at minimum.

The Role

General Motors is undergoing a major transformation both in how we operate and in how we will influence the future of transportation. Our Hardware Infrastructure Team (A member of the Digital Projects and Infrastructure organization) is on the forefront of this work emboldening our culture by seeking out determined innovative individuals who will join our team to help move us forward and achieve our mission.

We are currently seeking experienced and motivated candidates for the role of Component HIL Simulation and Integration Engineer to support our HIL Agile Release Train (HIL ART). Role is located at the Milford Proving Grounds Campus. This role is responsible for creating hardware in the loop environments to enable development verification and validation of embedded controllers and calibrations for battery hybrid electrification engine transmission chassis and intelligent brake controls.

Key Responsibilities

The HIL Engineer plays a critical role in the HIL ART with a focus on the development and deployment of the test environments described above. You will work with our global engineering teams to understand testing environment requirements and translate those needs into test environments that you will develop deploy and maintain. The ART supports multiple types of testing environments (such as HIL SIL Virtual HIL etc) through scrum teams focused on a specific type of control system and each scrum team member focuses on the specific activities that best align with their experience capabilities and personal development objectives. The HIL position requires individuals with a passion applying the latest technological solutions for evaluation of software and hardware performance to a wide variety of products and user needs and delivery schedules. A balance of technical and project leadership skills and the ability to think outside the box to find simple yet exciting solutions is paramount.

Additional responsibilities include:

• Work closely with software development calibration and validation stakeholders to identify solutions to customer needs.
• Engage with cross functional team members (within and outside of the immediate agile scrum team) to coordinate on-time delivery to meet requirements.
• Create and maintain simulation models (such as Plantsensors and actuators serial data communication and controller models)for creating xiL Test Environments.
• Evaluate parametrize and tune the test environment based on system requirements and calibrations.
• Close partnership with test environment users to root cause and address unexpected test results and resolve issues encountered during test execution.
• Provide technical support for test environment user activities.
• Plan communicate and coordinate test environment strategy and model/hardware rollout to support applications and features requested by user community as needed.
• Assist initiatives to benchmark and adopt next-generation simulation technology and tools.
• Perform test environment correlation activities based on experimental data.
• Support HIL bench and controller testing (including automated tools)
• Create maintain and improve standard architectures.
• Work closely with sources of models and equipment to make sure that common models and other simulation assets are shared between test environment domains and architectures.

Interface with team members test environment customers technical leaders and management as necessary to support and execute program imperatives.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

• Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering Mechanical Engineering Computer Engineering Software Engineering Systems Engineering or a related technical field.
• 3 years of experience working with HIL or hardwareintheloop test environments for embedded control systems (MIL/SIL/HIL/xiL).
• Handson experience with at least one major HIL platform (for example dSPACE National Instruments/NI ETAS AVL Vector or similar).
• Practical experience with MATLAB/Simulink or similar tools for modelbased development and simulation.
• Experience developing or integrating plant sensor/actuator and controller models for automotive or similar systems.
• Working knowledge of vehicle network communication protocols (such as CAN LIN FlexRay or Automotive Ethernet) and related tools.
• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot and resolve issues in complex test environments including correlation of simulation results with physical test data.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills with experience working in crossfunctional engineering teams.
• Ability and willingness to work onsite at Milford Proving Grounds Campus as required.

What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

• Masters degree in a relevant engineering discipline.
• 5 years of experience in automotive or related industries supporting embedded electronic control units (ECUs) and calibration or validation activities.
• Experience supporting domains such as battery management systems hybrid/EV propulsion engine controls transmission controls chassis systems and/or braking/intelligent brake controls.
• Experience in Agile development environments and working within scrum teams or Agile Release Trains.
• Familiarity with test automation frameworks scripting languages (such as Python MATLAB scripts CAPL) and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) concepts for test systems.
• Experience with requirements management and traceability for test environments and test cases.
• Background in control systems engineering system identification or model validation.
• Experience defining and maintaining standard HIL architectures across multiple programs or domains.
• Demonstrated ability to influence technical direction drive process improvements and mentor less experienced engineers.
