Job Opportunities API

THE ROLE  We are building a new team from the ground up to develop the first generation of verification and validation infrastructure - both hardware and software - including automated Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) systems with sensors and vehicle system emulation. As a HIL System Engineer, you’ll lead the design, deployment, and continuous improvement of scalable and modular HIL benches that support end-to-end system integration and validation across multiple vehicle platforms. You’ll own the full lifecycle of HIL benches - from requirements gathering and hardware integration to commissioning and workflow improvement. You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams including software, hardware, and system validation to ensure HIL systems are reliable, configurable, cost-efficient, and always ready to support fast paced releases. We are looking for engineers with experience in system design, hardware/software system integration, operations, and cross-functional collaboration.    Key responsibilities: - Architect modular, configurable, and cost-effective HIL bench designs for platform integration and validation - Consolidate system and test requirements from stakeholders to define HIL design - Select and integrate off-the-shelf and custom components, e.g., GPIO module, FPGA board, signal conditioning module, power supply - Collaborate with supply chain, program management, hardware, facility teams to ensure procurement, build and lab readiness  - Own the commissioning workflow for all benches and lead continuous improvement to reduce build and bring up time - Collaborate with other HIL engineers to integrate sensor emulation, automation, configuration management  - Contribute to infrastructure that scales with future test demands and evolving hardware/software platforms - Lead HIL bench issue resolution and root cause analysis ABOUT YOU   You are passionate about architecting hardware-software test systems that enable scalable and high reliability open-loop and closed-loop testing. You enjoy bridging hardware, software and system engineering within the test validation workflow, and thrive in fast-moving and cross-functional environments. You care about reliability, scalability, and efficiency - and are committed to delivering test platforms that others can count on. You bring a mindset of continuous improvement and take ownership of processes and HIL bench products. Essential Qualifications: - Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in System Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field  - 5+ years of hands-on experience, designing and managing HIL systems and test benches in autonomous vehicle, robotics, aerospace, or similar industries - Solid understanding of system integration, ECU communication protocols - Experience selecting and integrating components such as dSPACE/NI/Vector modules, media converters, power supplies and DAQ hardware - Strong background with diagnostic tools including but not limited to Vector, Kvaser - Proficiency in Linux or Unix based operating systems, command line tools - Proven experience in system debugging, issue resolution, and root cause analysis across hardware/software integration, with the ability to drive issues to closure and implement preventative improvements - Proven ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams and lead others to solve technical problems even when you don’t manage them - Strong systems engineering fundamentals across full product life cycle, from system architecture, operation to decommission - Excellent cross-functional communication skills Desirable Qualifications: - Experience with autonomous systems including robotics and/or autonomous vehicles - Exposure to vehicle dynamics modeling or closed-loop HIL testing - Strong programming/scripting skills in Python, C/C++, or MATLAB/Simulink - Proficiency with agile development tools and environments (Jira, Jama, etc) - Familiarity
