## Description

We are seeking a skilled Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Engineer to support software validation for transmission systems, energy and transportation equipment, and large mining trucks. The engineer will work in a high-fidelity laboratory environment using HIL test platforms to validate embedded control software by simulating sensor inputs and actuator outputs. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in HIL test bench setup, plant modeling, test automation, and control system validation., * Set up, configure, and maintain HIL test benches for embedded control system validation.

 * Test software releases in a high-fidelity laboratory environment using HIL platforms.
 * Simulate sensor inputs and direct actuator outputs using HIL hardware.
 * Develop and maintain plant models for hydraulic, transmission, engine, and machine systems.
 * Develop and execute automated test scripts using Python and other scripting languages.
 * Troubleshoot complex HIL systems involving multiple input/output channels.
 * Analyze test results, identify defects, and support root-cause analysis.
 * Validate control software by connecting system inputs and outputs within a virtual environment.
 * Collaborate with engineering teams to clarify incomplete requirements.
 * Develop reusable, configurable, and maintainable test code.
