Technical Lead - HIL (6-10 yrs)

Job Summary :

This role requires a highly skilled and experienced HiL Engineer to lead the setup and execution of Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) systems for electric vehicle lines, specifically for buses.

The successful candidate will be responsible for delivering high-quality system test results by leveraging their expertise in HiL methodologies, eDrive domain knowledge, and strong technical skills.

Key Responsibilities :

HiL System Setup & Commissioning :

- Lead the setup and commissioning of dSpace HiL benches, including the integration of loads, -actuators, and sensors as per vehicle architecture and test requirements.

- Ensure proper functioning and calibration of all HiL components.

Test Development & Execution :

- Design, develop, and execute comprehensive test cases for electric vehicle systems, covering functional, performance, and safety aspects.

- Automate test procedures using scripting languages (e., Python) to improve efficiency and repeatability.

- Analyze test results, identify and document defects, and collaborate with development teams to resolve issues.

Data Analysis & Reporting :

- Analyze CAN, LIN, and other communication protocols to identify and troubleshoot system behavior.

- Generate detailed test reports, including data analysis, performance metrics, and defect summaries.

Troubleshooting & Root Cause Analysis :

- Investigate and diagnose hardware and software issues within the HiL environment.

- Conduct root cause analysis of failures and implement corrective actions.

Technical Leadership & Mentorship :

- Provide technical guidance and support to junior engineers.

- Train team members on HiL methodologies, tools, and best practices.

Collaboration & Communication :

- Effectively communicate technical information to both technical and non-technical audiences.

- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (e., software development, hardware design, vehicle integration) to ensure project success.

Required Skills & Qualifications :

Essential :

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.

- Minimum 6 years of hands-on experience in HiL engineering.

- Strong understanding of eDrive domain (e., motors, inverters, batteries, power electronics).

- Expertise in dSpace HiL systems, including configuration desk, Matlab/Simulink, Stateflow, and Targetlink.

- Proficiency in CAN, LIN, and other communication protocols.

- Experience in test case design, automation, and execution.

- Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.

- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

- Proficiency in English (both written and spoken).

Desirable :

- Experience with Configuration Management tools (e., Jira, DOORS NXG).

- Knowledge of scripting languages (e., Python).

- Experience with vehicle-level debugging and hardware implementation.

- Familiarity with IO modeling and plant model integration
