HIL Test Engineer

Job Summary

We are seeking a highly skilled HIL Engineer to design, develop, and maintain Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test systems for embedded control units. The ideal candidate will have strong experience in HIL system development, hardware schematics interpretation/design, and hands-on expertise with dSPACE platforms. This role requires close collaboration with software, hardware, and systems engineering teams to ensure robust validation of control algorithms and embedded systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test systems for ECU validation.
• Configure and integrate HIL systems using dSPACE platforms such as dSPACE SCALEXIO and dSPACE MicroLabBox.
• Develop plant models using MATLAB/Simulink for real-time simulation.
• Analyze and interpret hardware schematics to support signal conditioning, I/O interfacing, and fault insertion strategies.
• Collaborate with hardware engineers to review schematics and ensure test coverage alignment.
• Perform system integration, debugging, and validation of embedded controllers.
• Develop automated test scripts and regression test suites.
• Troubleshoot HIL bench issues including communication protocols (CAN, LIN, Ethernet, etc.).
• Support SIL/MIL to HIL transition activities.
• Document test setups, validation procedures, and results.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or related field.
• 3+ years of experience in HIL system development .
• Hands-on experience with dSPACE tools (ControlDesk, ConfigurationDesk, AutomationDesk).
• Strong understanding of hardware schematics , signal conditioning, and electronic circuits.
• Experience with real-time simulation and model-based development (MATLAB/Simulink).
• Knowledge of automotive communication protocols (CAN, LIN, FlexRay, Ethernet).
• Experience with debugging tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and multimeters.
