## About the Role

We are looking for an engineer with experience in system design, hardware/software system integration, operations and cross functional collaboration.

## 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 for a well-known OEM.

You will be responsible for leading 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 will take ownership of the full lifecycle of HIL benches - from requirements gathering and hardware integration to commissioning and workflow improvement.

The role will require you to 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., 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
