the hil test engineer is responsible for designing, executing, and maintaining hardware-in-the-loop (hil) test systems to validate embedded control systems, primarily in automotive, aerospace, or industrial applications. This role ensures that software and hardware components function correctly under simulated real-world conditions.

key responsibilities

- develop, configure, and maintain hil test benches and simulation environments
- design and execute test cases for embedded systems and control algorithms
- integrate real-time simulation models (e.g., plant models) into hil systems
- automate test scripts using tools such as python, matlab/simulink, or capl
- perform validation of ecus (electronic control units) under various operating scenarios
- analyze test results, identify defects, and support root cause analysis
- collaborate with software, hardware, and systems engineering teams




- ensure compliance with industry standards and functional safety requirements (e.g., iso 26262)
- maintain documentation for test procedures, results, and system configurations

required qualifications

- bachelor’s degree in mechatronics engineering, computer engineering, electronics engineering or related field
- experience with hil systems (e.g., dspace, ni, vector tools)
- strong knowledge of embedded systems and real-time control
- familiarity with communication protocols (can, lin, ethernet, flexray)
- experience with matlab/simulink and model-based development
- programming/scripting skills (python, c, capl, or similar)

understanding of automotive systems (powertrain, adas, body controls, etc
