Hardware in the Loop Simulation Engineer

Job DescriptionResponsibilities:Creates and maintains software validation test plans to ensure complete coverage of test requirements by a given project development milestoneIncludes the development of new test plans for new ECU systems without historical customer precedentMay provide mentoring to other engineers to develop their test plansResponsible for the complete design of a HIL Simulator which includes simulator hardware selection, plant model specification and programming, I/O channel selection, and simulator/controller harness design. Decide the best implementation and most cost-effective systemPrepares complex test automation scripts to meet testing requirements from the system function teamCreates complex scripts with the mindset of full vehicle integration vs. single system validationAccurately reports test results and conditions so that correct system judgments may be made.
