Assignment Description

Our client in the automotive industry is currently seeking an Electrical & Electronics Engineer specializing in Complete Electrical HIL.

Our client is making bold digital visions come true. They aim to lead in the automotive world by creating a digital ecosystem built around making their customers’ lives less complicated. Now they are looking for curious, creative people who want to change the world through innovative thinking.

At our client’s Complete HIL Development team, they are responsible for developing and maintaining electrical HIL rigs (Hardware in the Loop) at the complete vehicle level. Their HILs are used for integration and verification of both hardware and software in early phases. The purpose of HIL is to stimulate the system and its components to believe they are in a real vehicle with all their dynamics. This is achieved by simulating environmental models that execute in real-time on dSpace SCALEXIO simulators. They ensure that the HIL rigs can be updated with new technology to support future projects such as electrification and autonomous vehicles.

Responsibilities:

• Work in a cross-functional HIL team, focusing on continuous improvements in test automation, modeling in Simulink, and integration of HIL solutions.
• Gain a broad understanding of our client’s systems and electrical functions.
• Collaborate with other groups within the organization, suppliers, and create a wide network.
• Engage in varied and challenging work involving both hardware and software.
• Collaborate with colleagues to further develop the HIL concept for test automation and ”Continuous Integration.”
• Initiate, lead, and drive the building, development, maintenance, and testing of HIL rigs for the complete vehicle platform.
• Provide support in performing verification in vehicles at the system or functional level.
• Contribute to team efforts in developing solutions across platforms.

Qualifications:

• Master’s degree or B.Sc. grade within electronics, physics, mechatronics, or similar education.
• At least 5 years of relevant work experience. Proven experience in automotive electrical system design, development, and integration, preferably within the automotive industry.

Technical/Behavioral/Interpersonal Competences:

• Experience in designing and developing electronic components and systems, encompassing both hardware and software.
• Proficiency in conducting end-to-end functional testing and verification.
• Proficient in designing, developing, and testing electrical systems, including wiring harnesses, power distribution systems, and control units integrated into Complete HIL rigs.
• Ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate electrical and electronic components into Complete HIL rigs, ensuring compatibility and reliability.
• Skilled in conducting thorough analysis and troubleshooting of electrical systems, identifying and resolving issues to meet performance and safety standards.
• Experience in implementing communication protocols and networking solutions to enable seamless connectivity between onboard systems, sensors, and external devices.
• Stay updated on industry trends, emerging technologies, and regulatory requirements to drive innovation and ensure compliance with relevant standards.
• Provide technical support and guidance to internal teams and external partners throughout the product development lifecycle.

Behavioral/Interpersonal Competences:

• Experience in Test-driven development, including creating test descriptions/specifications.
• Proficiency in Model-Based development in Simulink/Stateflow.
• Capability in designing and developing Graphical User Interfaces for test benches/rigs.
• Experience in working with building HIL and automated test systems in dSpace rigs.
• Experience in various domains, such as hybrid and/or electric vehicle development, AD/ADAS, Infotainment or Body functionality, HMI and Connectivity, Powertrain and High voltage systems, and Brake systems.
• Proficiency in verification in vehicles at the system or functional level.
• Experience working with scripting and test automation tools (Python, CI, Jenkins).
• Competency in vehicle communication protocols (CAN, LIN, ETH) or other communication protocols.
• Highly skilled in Matlab, Python, or RobotFramework.
• Familiarity with version control systems (Gerrit), dSPACE software (ConfigurationDesk, ControlDesk, ModelDesk, etc.), and building dSPACE HW (SCALEXIO Customized Rack and/or LabBox, compatible IO boards).
