HIL Engineer
Job Summary
HIL Modeling & Test Development
Develop integrate and maintain HIL plant models for:
o Electric motors inverters driveline and wheel dynamics
o Traction and regenerative braking systems
o Range extender generator/ICE surrogates and energy interfaces
o Thermal environmental and disturbance effects (low- split- altitude ambient)
Design automated HIL test suites covering:
o Torque delivery regen blending limits and derates
o Traction control ABS/ESC interactions and driveline protection
o Range extender start/stop SOC sustain load transients
o Limp-home strategies fault handling and edge-case behavior
Diagnostics Fault Injection & Safety Validation
Implement fault-injection scenarios (sensor actuator thermal and network faults).
Validate UDS diagnostics including DIDs DTCs and service routines.
Ensure robust protection derate and safe-state behavior aligned with a safety mindset (ISO 26262 exposure).
Automation & CI Integration
Develop and maintain test automation using Python CAPL and related frameworks.
Integrate HIL testing into CI/CD pipelines (e.g. Jenkins GitHub Actions) for rapid regression feedback.
Support standardized logging datasets and reproducible test execution.
Defect Analysis & Cross-Functional Collaboration
Analyze failures and produce high-quality defect reports with minimal reproduction steps.
Attach relevant traces and logs (e.g. MDF BLF) to accelerate root cause analysis.
Collaborate with controls systems calibration diagnostics and safety teams throughout development cycles.
Infrastructure & Continuous Improvement (Scope varies by assignment)
Maintain HIL rig configurations I/O maps restbus setups and fault-insertion capabilities.
Contribute to reusable libraries for test scenarios diagnostics workflows and plant models.
Support requirements traceability from specifications to test execution and results.
Required Qualifications:
Experience in HIL testing for EV HEV hybrid propulsion or auxiliary power systems.
Education: BS or MS in Electrical Mechanical Mechatronics Controls Computer Science or equivalent.
Tools & Technologies:
o MATLAB/Simulink
o dSPACE NI or ETAS HIL platforms
o Vector CANoe/CANape
o Python and Git
o CAN LIN Ethernet networking
Systems Knowledge:
o Drive system controls energy management or range extender operation
o Diagnostics (UDS) and fault management
o Exposure to functional safety concepts (ISO 26262)
Qualification:
Bachelors Degree in Engineering
