HIL Engineer -Inverters

The Role:

HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) Engineer

Area of Responsibility

• Design, configure, and maintain

  dSPACE Scalexio HIL test benches

  for inverter platforms.
• Develop and integrate

  plant models, signal conditioning

  , and

  simulation environments

  tailored to inverter control systems.
• Interface with ECUs and manage

  software/hardware integration

  for closed-loop simulation workflows.

• Author and maintain

  test cases

  covering functional, safety-critical, fault injection, and boundary conditions.
• Develop

  automated test sequences and scripts

  using

  AutomationDesk

  ,

  ControlDesk

  ,

  Python

  , or

  MATLAB/Simulink

  .
• Ensure alignment of test coverage with system requirements, safety goals, and validation strategies.
• Execute regression testing, analyze anomalies, and collaborate in root cause investigations with system teams.

• Work cross-functionally with software, controls, systems, and safety engineers to ensure test completeness and traceability.
• Support verification of inverter control algorithms, ASIL-related diagnostics, and performance optimization.
• Liaise with OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to meet program milestones, compliance benchmarks, and reporting deliverables.

Knowledge / Experience

Essential

• Experience

  in

  HIL validation

  , with hands-on expertise in

  dSPACE Scalexio systems

  including setup, configuration, and operation.
• In-depth experience in

  inverter testing on HIL platforms

  , including control behavior, safety diagnostics, and fault response validation.
• Strong knowledge of

  ISO 26262

  ,

  ASPICE

  , and automotive testing standards.

Preferred Skills

• Familiarity with

  EV/HEV architectures

  , inverter control strategies (e.g., FOC, current control), and high-voltage safety practices.
• Working knowledge of communication protocols such as

  CAN, LIN, FlexRay

  , and diagnostic frameworks (

  UDS

  ,

  ODX

  ).
• Experience with

  model-based design

  tools (Simulink, TargetLink) and

  test traceability systems

  (e.g., Polarion, PTC Integrity).
• Strong skills in data analysis, test documentation, and fault analysis reporting.
• Ability to collaborate in fast-paced, agile, and globally distributed engineering teams.
