Assignment Description

Our client in the automotive industry is currently seeking a HIL Modeling and Integration Engineer. You will be part of an agile HIL Development team in the ART Software Factory within the Product Stream Electric Propulsion. You will be a member of a truly international team designing HIL test-environments for production software testing. Meaning the HIL models, you will create is crucial for testing electrical propulsion ECUs used in the Traction Battery, Charging and Electric Drive Systems. You will fit well in this role if you are a Modeling and Simulation Engineer focusing on model-based development on HIL test beds and an understanding of Software Verification cycles correlated to Model Based Development (SIL, HIL, VIL and Test Track).

Our client is growing and facing an exciting future in the electrification of vehicles. If you want to utilize state of the art methods to test and verify next generation electrified luxury cars, the role as their new Hardware in the loop (HIL) Development Engineer is the role for you to prosper!

What you’ll do

Our client’s development centers around software (SW) and in their next generation vehicles, they take a giant leap into the future by launching a capable centralized compute platform, hosting most of the in-house developed SW. In these next generation vehicles, they are building a computer-in-the-car architecture.

The department, Propulsion & Energy Quality has an Enabling ART (Agile Release Train) within Electric Propulsion, with the purpose to provide the infrastructure for SW development teams to integrate, test, and release SW in a continuous integration (CI) flow. The infrastructure includes development and maintenance of Hardware-in-Loop setups for development, verification, and validation of software products. They do this by building a robust and automated test framework and enabling SW test & release in a CI flow.

They are looking for their future team member to develop, validate and maintain Model-Based Hardware in Loop setups that are intended for software functionality verification on embedded systems. The embedded test setups are built around the above-mentioned Propulsion & Energy architecture. These setups are a combination of simulated vehicle components and real hardware components to emulate a real vehicle with all the relevant dynamics. Their teams are responsible for the development and maintenance of these embedded setups (hardware-in-loop), while making sure that these setups are capable to execute relevant test cases for platform, software, and function verification. These are state-of-the art test setups, critical for testing software before the final product is launched. You will be working in a fast paced, innovative environment, solving problems and challenges daily.

Main responsibilities:

• Work with software application and deployment on core computer and embedded ECUs.
• Model relevant components and signals.
• Enable test automation to move towards Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment.

Qualifications:

• B.Sc. or M.Sc. in SW Engineering, Electrical Engineering or equivalent with emphasis on SW development.
• Extensive experience in either dynamic modelling using Matlab/Simulink or test automation.
• Experience from an Agile working environment and from Continuous Integration is beneficial.
• Fluent in English.

Meritorious:

• Experience with HIL systems and real-time simulation.
• Experience in Continuous Integration.
• dSPACE toolchain (ConfigurationDesk, AutomationDesk, ControlDesk,…).
• Knowledge about Electric Motors, Power Electronics and Traction Battery technology.
• Software testing.
• CAN and Automotive Ethernet communications.

Desired attributes:

• You are an individual who is motivated by challenging tasks in a complex and innovative environment.
• Execution of challenging technology development and teamwork is your real passion.
• You enjoy learning from others, as well as sharing your knowledge with your colleague and are social, structured, analytical, and a problem solver.
