Job description
wants them to have direct domain experience in one of the following. That is where we have missed. We are sending HIL Engineers but not with the direct domain experience
Low Voltage Systems (highest priority) Body control Power distribution (e.g., electronic fuses) Motion Controls / Vehicle Dynamics Thermal Systems Zone Architecture environments
leading automotive engineering organization is expanding its Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) validation capability and is actively seeking experienced HIL Engineers to support the buildout of multiple new systems. This role requires hands-on ownership of HIL environments, from initial setup through system integration and validation. The ideal candidate brings deep, practical experience and can immediately contribute in a fast-paced, highly technical environment. This is not an entry-level or general test role-we are specifically looking for engineers who have built or stood up HIL systems from the ground up.
Key Responsibilities Design, build, and deploy HIL systems from scratch Translate system requirements into test plans and validation strategies Perform electrical integration, including: Wiring schematics ECU I/O mapping
Configure and integrate vehicle communication interfaces: CAN, LIN, Ethernet Develop and maintain MATLAB / Simulink models Execute test development, automation, and debugging Support system-level validation and issue triage Collaborate across systems, controls, and hardware teams, Prior role/title as a HIL Engineer Background in highly hands-on programs such as: Automotive research or prototype programs Competitive engineering teams (Formula SAE, etc.)
What Success Looks Like Strong candidates can clearly explain: A HIL system they have built or owned end-to-end
Including: Requirements gathering Test planning Electrical integration (wiring, I/O mapping) System architecture decisions Modeling approach (MATLAB/Simulink) Execution and validation strategy Candidates lacking this depth of ownership will not be a fit.
Additional Details High urgency-candidates must be able to ramp quickly Opportunity to support multiple system builds with potential for ongoing work Exposure to next-generation vehicle architectures and validation environments
Requirements
4-5+ years of HIL engineering experience Demonstrated experience building or standing up a HIL system from scratch Strong hands-on experience with:
dSPACE (required)
Experience working in system-level validation environments Technical Environment Core Tools dSPACE (required) Vector tools (CANoe, CANalyzer - preferred) Modeling MATLAB / Simulink Interfaces CAN LIN Ethernet
Preferred Experience Areas Candidates may come from various domains, but strongest alignment includes: Low Voltage Systems (high priority) Body control Power distribution (e.g., electronic fuses)
Vehicle Motion Controls / Dynamics Thermal Systems Zone Architecture
