Job description

As a System Controls Test Engineer, you will be at the heart of validating and optimising control systems for advanced vehicles and vessels. You'll work hands-on with hardware and software to ensure seamless integration, robust performance, and safety compliance. Your work will directly support the deployment of hydrogen-powered systems and other cutting-edge technologies., * Test planning & execution: Develop and execute test plans for control systems, including PLCs, HMIs, sensors, actuators, and embedded controllers.

  • Design, develop, and execute test scenarios using Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) rigs to validate embedded software functionality. Integrate software components with HIL systems to simulate real-world conditions and verify system behaviour. Analyse HIL test data to identify performance bottlenecks, anomalies, and edge-case failures.
  • System integration: Support integration of mechanical, electrical, and software components into complete systems for bench testing and commissioning.
  • Troubleshooting & debugging: Identify and resolve control system issues during development, testing, and field deployment.
  • Data acquisition & analysis: Collect and analyse performance data to validate system behaviour and optimise control strategies.
  • Safety & compliance: Participate in safety studies and ensure control systems meet functional safety standards and regulatory requirements.
