Hil Testing information

What is HIL testing?

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 HIL testing engineer do?

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 for HIL testing?

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

Overview
We are designing the grid of the future!
EPE is looking to recruit a Principal Private Grid Architecture and Controls Engineer to join our growing Energy Resources team. In this role, you will work closely with senior leadership to support our growth strategy and provide subject matter expertise both internally through coaching and developing staff, as well as externally to our clients.
Responsibilities
How you can make an impact:
  • Lead the design and development of advanced Private Grid control systems for hyperscale and AI data center campuses.
  • Define the control philosophy for grid-connected, islanded, black-start, and resynchronization operating modes, enabling seamless transitions while maintaining mission-critical reliability.
  • Develop coordinated control strategies spanning utility interconnection, on-site gas engine and gas turbine generation, CHP/CCHP, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), renewable resources, and UPS/critical power infrastructure.
  • Design hierarchical control architectures, including plant-level controllers, power plant controllers (PPC), energy management systems (EMS), and supervisory control systems.
  • Develop algorithms for active and reactive power control, frequency and voltage regulation, load sharing, generator and economic dispatch, spinning reserve management, peak shaving, demand response, and grid-support services.
  • Define control strategies for grid-forming and grid-following inverter operation.
  • Lead integration of generator governors, excitation systems, protection systems, and plant control systems.
  • Ensure stable Private Grid operation during utility disturbances, large load steps, AI workload fluctuations, generator trips, BESS transitions, islanding events, black-start sequences, and utility reconnection.
  • Develop control schemes that minimize voltage and frequency deviations while maintaining uninterrupted power to critical IT loads.
  • Coordinate control integration among generator OEMs, BESS suppliers, UPS manufacturers, switchgear vendors, SCADA/EMS providers, and EPC contractors.
  • Develop communication architectures using IEC 61850, Modbus TCP/IP, DNP3, and other industrial protocols.
  • Validate control performance through hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, factory acceptance testing (FAT), site acceptance testing (SAT), and commissioning.
  • Serve as EPE's subject matter expert for Private Grid control systems and establish engineering standards, design guidelines, and control philosophies.
  • Mentor senior engineers and provide technical leadership across multidisciplinary teams.
  • Review engineering deliverables and provide technical directions.
  • Stay up to date with emerging technologies, market innovations, and best practices to enhance EPE's offerings and capabilities.
  • Support business development activities

Qualifications
Bring your passion, here's what's needed:
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Control Systems Engineering, or a related discipline; advanced degree preferred.
  • Minimum 10 years of experience in power system controls, Private Grids, and power generation.
  • Demonstrated experience designing and commissioning utility-scale Private Grid control systems.
  • Strong understanding of synchronous generators, inverter-based resources (IBRs), and BESS.
  • Expertise in dynamic system behavior, stability analysis, and control system design.
  • Experience with industrial control platforms, PLCs, SCADA systems, and Energy Management Systems (EMS).
  • Excellent technical communication skills and the ability to operate independently in a senior client-facing role.
  • Professional Engineer (P.E. or P.Eng.) license preferred.
  • Experience supporting hyperscale or AI data center power infrastructure, including campuses exceeding 100 MW of critical load, is preferred.
  • Experience integrating gas engines, gas turbines, CHP/CCHP systems, and utility-scale BESS is preferred.
  • Knowledge of IEEE 1547, IEC 61850, IEC 61131, NERC reliability standards, and utility grid codes is preferred.
  • Experience with grid-forming inverter control strategies and resilient Private Grid architectures is a plus.
  • Experience with real-time simulation and HIL platforms (RTDS, OPAL-RT) and digital twins is a plus.
  • Automation experience is a plus.
  • Active participation in industry task forces and/or working groups (IEEE, ESIG, or similar) is a plus.
  • Experience leveraging AI and automation tools responsibly to improve quality, productivity and innovation.
