What is a HIL Testing job?

A HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) Testing job involves validating and verifying embedded systems by simulating real-world scenarios using hardware and software models. Engineers in this role develop test cases, automate testing procedures, and analyze system behavior to ensure reliability and performance. HIL testing is commonly used in industries like automotive, aerospace, and industrial automation to test control systems before deployment.

What does a typical day look like for someone working in HIL Testing?

A typical day in HIL Testing involves designing and setting up test benches, running simulations of real-world scenarios on hardware prototypes, analyzing results, and documenting any issues or anomalies found. You'll work closely with hardware designers, embedded software engineers, and project managers to develop test cases and troubleshoot control systems. The role often requires managing multiple test cycles, adapting to evolving specifications, and participating in team meetings to review progress. This hands-on environment combines a mix of technical work, problem-solving, and collaborative communication to ensure the proper functioning and safety of complex electronic systems before they are deployed in the field.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Hil Testing position, and why are they important?

To thrive in HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) Testing, a strong background in electrical engineering, embedded systems, and test automation is essential, often supported by a relevant engineering degree. Experience with tools such as dSPACE, NI LabVIEW, MATLAB/Simulink, and knowledge of real-time simulation platforms are highly valued, and certifications in software or hardware testing can be advantageous. Critical thinking, problem-solving, and effective communication are important soft skills for diagnosing issues and collaborating closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams. These competencies ensure accurate validation of complex control systems and help deliver reliable, high-quality products in industries like automotive and aerospace.

Job description

Position: Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Engineer
Duration: Full-time
Location: El Segundo, CA
Overview:
We are seeking a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Engineer to support the development and maintenance of HIL system. You will work closely with senior engineers to assist in hardware integration, testing, and validation of critical systems. This role is ideal for someone with foundational experience in HIL systems and a desire to grow their skills in real-time testing, automated validation, and electrical integration within a collaborative team environment.

You will have the opportunity to contribute to building electrical integration systems that support the first successful fuel demonstration of a new commercial nuclear reactor design in over 50 years.

Responsibilities and Duties:

  • Assist in designing, building, and maintaining HIL test bench systems.
  • Help configure test hardware, including power supplies, actuators, and sensor mapping.
  • Support communication and integration with Digital Twin systems.
  • Assist senior engineers with assembling and debugging HIL hardware and harnesses.
  • Execute test procedures, collect data, and support analysis.
  • Document test results, procedures, and lessons learned.
  • Troubleshoot electrical and hardware issues with guidance from senior team members.
  • Participate in design reviews and contribute ideas in a collaborative environment.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

  • BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • 1–3 years of experience with HIL systems such as dSpace, NI PXI, Speedgoat, or similar platforms.
  • Familiarity with NI HIL software (e.g., LabVIEW, TestStand) and programming/scripting in Python, C++, or C#.
  • Hands-on experience with data acquisition, test execution, or electrical integration.
  • Basic troubleshooting and debugging skills.
  • Ability to work effectively in a team and communicate across disciplines.

Desired Skills and Qualifications:

  • Exposure to HW-SW integration and test procedures.
  • Understanding of fundamental controls, software testing, and test processes.
  • Interest in learning real-time simulation systems and FPGA-based systems.
  • Familiarity with trace capture tools or data acquisition/analysis tools.
