What is a HiL engineer?

A HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) Engineer is responsible for developing, testing, and validating embedded control systems using HIL simulation techniques. They design and implement test environments that simulate real-world conditions for automotive, aerospace, or industrial applications. HIL Engineers work with simulation models, hardware components, and software tools to ensure that control systems function correctly before deployment. Their role helps reduce development costs and improve system reliability by identifying issues early in the design process.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a HiL engineer?

To excel as a HiL Engineer, you need a solid background in electrical or mechatronics engineering, proficiency in control systems and embedded software testing, usually supported by a relevant engineering degree. Experience with hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) simulation platforms like dSPACE, NI (National Instruments), or Vector, as well as knowledge of tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, is highly valued. Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving ability, and effective communication skills are crucial for collaborating in cross-functional teams. These abilities ensure reliable system validation, streamlined error diagnosis, and efficient interaction in fast-paced automotive or industrial development environments.

What does a HiL engineer do?

As a HiL Engineer, a typical day involves developing and maintaining simulation environments, executing test plans for embedded control units, and analyzing test results to identify and troubleshoot system issues. You’ll frequently collaborate with software and hardware engineers, providing feedback and working together to resolve integration challenges. The role often includes scripting automation, updating HiL platforms, and participating in review meetings to ensure alignment with project requirements. Over time, HiL Engineers gain deeper knowledge of system architectures and testing methodologies, opening paths to lead engineer or technical specialist positions. This dynamic work environment offers opportunities to work on innovative products and expand your expertise in automotive or industrial system validation.

Job description

Title: Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Development Engineer

Location: Wabtec Freight, Erie, PA

Job Description:

The Hardware-In-Test-Loop (HITL) Development Engineer is responsible for all activities related to the development, maintenance, execution, and automation of HITL environments used for the validation of locomotive traction/propulsion, auxiliary systems, power electronics, and embedded control software. This role works closely with Drives Control, Systems, Software, and Verification teams to build comprehensive real-time simulation environments that support product development and validation lifecycle.

Responsibilities:

-   Work cross functionally to identify and capture requirements to execute the full lifecycle development of HITL solutions.

-   Define simulator I/O requirements, and specify interface mapping and signal conditioning based on system requirements and control architecture..

-   Develop and release real-time simulation models for traction motors, power converters, energy storage systems, braking systems, and various locomotive/off-highway vehicle (OHV) sub-systems.

-   Create automated test frameworks, write test scripts and sequences, design fault injection scenarios, and execute closed-loop control validation.

-  Integrate new control software releases into active HITL platforms and update real-time plant models accordingly

-   Maintain and update official HITL design documentation, test procedures, and platform configuration documents.

Desired Skills:

-   Experience with Full lifecycle HITL Development, Architecture Design, Simulator Integration, and Platform Configuration.

-   The ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.

-   Modeling and simulation abilities using (matlab, simulink, stateflow, and simscape power systems).

-   Familiarity with hardware environments with OpalRT (or similar) real-time simulators, signal conditioning, and interface mapping.

-   Advanced test automation framework development, test scripting, and Fault Injection Testing.

-   Past experience managing test reporting, closing out design/verification reviews, and ensuring rigorous data traceability.

-   Additional experience/knowledge with locomotive embedded systems design a plus.

Qualifications/Requirements:

Bachelor of Science in Electrical, Computer Science or a Technical Discipline with 3 to 6 years of related experience.

Benefits:

Phoenix Technical Solutions offers an attractive compensation and benefits package; including health, dental, vision, STD, LTD, Life, IRA with generous company match, paid holidays, vacation and more.  Our global commitment to technological advancement offers opportunities for personal growth and development in a stable, supportive work environment.
