We are seeking an experienced HIL Automation Engineer with 5-10 years of experience developing and enhancing automated test frameworks for embedded control systems. This role will focus on designing, maintaining, and improving Python-based automation solutions that execute and manage Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing through the IBM Jazz Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) platform.
The idóneo candidate will have strong software development and automation expertise combined with experience in dSPACE, ETAS, Python, and automotive communication protocols. This position is centered on automation framework development, test orchestration, and continuous improvement of the testing infrastructure rather than hands‑on hardware validation or manual test execution.
