## About the Role

This position requires 5+ years professional experience in simulation and embedded Hardware-In-Loop test development. While there will be plenty of on-the-job learning, an engineer with a strong simulation and test knowledge base, hard-won through real-world experience, will be much more likely to succeed in this role., Hands-on experience with HIL integration and test equipment.

 - Proficiency in a relevant programming language such as C++, Java, Python, or similar.

 - Experience with Git, GitLab CI/CD and local GitLab runners.

 - Experience designing and developing simulations and automated test and verification pipelines.

 - Understanding of systems engineering, interfaces, test traceability, and verification and validation practices.

 - Strong analytical, troubleshooting, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

 - U.S. Person status required.

Desired Qualifications

 - Experience with embedded interfaces such as CAN and SPI.

 - Experience designing and debugging networks, touching authentication, encryption, and VPN.

 - Experience with comm port debugging in Linux, including serial and ethernet ports.

## Description

The Simulation & Test Automation Engineer develops simulation and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test environments, implements system-integration and regression tests, and builds automated CI/CD pipelines for execution on local runners. This role enables reliable and repeatable verification of complex systems through the product development lifecycle., Design and develop high-fidelity software simulations, models, stubs, and emulators.

 - Integrate hardware including compute, sensors, actuators, interfaces, and test equipment into HIL environments.

 - Troubleshoot communication and interoperability issues across CAN, SPI, TCP, Iridium, Cell, and WiFi interfaces.

 - Translate system requirements and interface definitions into traceable integration, regression, and acceptance test cases.

 - Design and maintain automated test frameworks, test harnesses, reusable test libraries, reporting pipelines, and diagnostics toolchains.

 - Collaborate with DevOps to design, create and maintain CI/CD pipelines, including test orchestration, environment management, artifact handling, result publication, and pipeline reliability.

 - Collaborate with systems, software, hardware, firmware, production and quality teams to investigate complex failures and improve product quality.
