HiL Test Engineer - Automotive

As a HiL Test Engineer you will be responsible for;

• Execute HiL test cases against feature and system requirements, and analyze the results
• Write and maintain automated test sequences and scripts using Python, CAPL, or dSPACE AutomationDesk
• Bring ECUs up on the bench: flashing software, verifying communication, configuring restbus simulation
• Analyze CAN, LIN, and Ethernet traces to determine whether a failure sits in the device under test, the bench, or the test script itself
• Build and modify breakout boxes, load boxes, and test harnesses; instrument simulated sensors and actuators
• Run bench health checks and intake tests before a campaign starts, so campaign results can be trusted
• Write clear defect reports with reproduction steps and supporting evidence, and drive them to closure
• Maintain traceability from requirement to test case to result
• Support senior engineers during new bench builds, wiring, and commissioning

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Computer, Mechatronics, or Mechanical Engineering, or Computer Science
• 0-3 years of professional experience; relevant internships or co-ops count
• Hands-on exposure to at least one real-time or HiL platform - dSPACE, NI VeriStand, ETAS, Vector, Speedgoat, or equivalent academic lab work
• Working knowledge of CAN and automotive network fundamentals
• Scripting ability in Python or MATLAB
• Comfort with lab hardware: multimeters, oscilloscopes, bench power supplies, and reading wiring diagrams and schematics
• Clear written documentation habits - test evidence is only useful if someone else can follow it
• Authorization to work in the United States without sponsorship, [now or in the future]
• Ability to work onsite in Dearborn, MI
