You enjoy bridging hardware, software and system engineering within the test validation workflow, and thrive in fast-moving and cross-functional environments. You care about reliability, scalability, and efficiency - and are committed to delivering test platforms that others can count on. You bring a mindset of continuous improvement and take ownership of processes and HIL bench products., * Bachelor's or Master's degree in System Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field * 5+ years of hands-on experience, designing and managing HIL systems and test benches in autonomous vehicle, robotics, aerospace, or similar industries * Solid understanding of system integration, ECU communication protocols * Experience selecting and integrating components such as dSPACE/NI/Vector modules, media converters, power supplies and DAQ hardware * Strong background with diagnostic tools including but not limited to Vector, Kvaser * Proficiency in Linux or Unix based operating systems, command line tools * Proven experience in system debugging, issue resolution, and root cause analysis across hardware/software integration, with the ability to drive issues to closure and implement preventative improvements * Proven ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams and lead others to solve technical problems even when you don't manage them * Strong systems engineering fundamentals across full product life cycle, from system architecture, operation to decommission * Excellent cross-functional communication skills, * Experience with autonomous systems including robotics and/or autonomous vehicles * Exposure to vehicle dynamics modeling or closed-loop HIL testing * Strong programming/scripting skills in Python, C/C++, or MATLAB/Simulink * Proficiency with agile development tools and environments (Jira, Jama, etc) * Familiarity with automotive software development requirements and standards, such as ASPICE ,ISO 26262 and ISO 21448 (SOTIF) , with automotive HIL SW and HW products e.g. from Vector and dSPACE and with automotive SW architecture such as AUTOSAR ## Description We are building a new team from the ground up to develop the first generation of verification and validation infrastructure - both hardware and software - including automated Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) systems with sensors and vehicle system emulation. As a HIL System Engineer, you'll lead the design, deployment, and continuous improvement of scalable and modular HIL benches that support end-to-end system integration and validation across multiple vehicle platforms. You'll own the full lifecycle of HIL benches - from requirements gathering and hardware integration to commissioning and workflow improvement. You'll work closely with cross-functional teams including software, hardware, and system validation to ensure HIL systems are reliable, configurable, cost-efficient, and always ready to support fast paced releases. We are looking for engineers with experience in system design, hardware/software system integration, operations, and cross-functional collaboration., * Architect modular, configurable, and cost-effective HIL bench designs for platform integration and validation * Consolidate system and test requirements from stakeholders to define HIL design * Select and integrate off-the-shelf and custom components, e.g., GPIO module, FPGA board, signal conditioning module, power supply * Collaborate with supply chain, program management, hardware, facility teams to ensure procurement, build and lab readiness * Own the commissioning workflow for all benches and lead continuous improvement to reduce build and bring up time * Collaborate with other HIL engineers to integrate sensor emulation, automation, configuration management * Contribute to infrastructure that scales with future test demands and evolving hardware/software platforms * Lead HIL bench issue resolution and root cause analysis ## Related Videos - [How to develop an autonomous car end-to-end: Robotic Drive and the mobility revolution](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/22-how-to-develop-an-autonomous-car-end-to-end-robotic-drive-and-the-mobility-revolution) - [Collaboration Quantified: Lessons from Open Source Developer Networks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1422-collaboration-quantified-lessons-from-open-source-developer-networks) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Node and Package Security](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2138-wearedevelopers-live-node-and-package-security) - [The best of two worlds - Bringing enterprise-grade Linux to the vehicle](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/67-the-best-of-two-worlds-bringing-enterprise-grade-linux-to-the-vehicle) - [Building a hypercar from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/607-building-a-hypercar-from-scratch) ## Related Articles - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [The 8 Best Code Testing Tools](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/402-the-8-best-code-testing-tools) - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Should senior developers refuse interview coding challenges?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/29-should-senior-developers-refuse-interview-coding-challenges)
