HiL Engineer

The role:
In this role you will be part of a team that will have the responsibility to develop and maintain electrical HIL rigs (Hardware in the Loop) at component and Domain level. Our HILs are used for Integration and verification of both HW and SW 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 Vector tools. We secure that the HIL rigs can be updated with new technology to support future projects such as electrification and autonomous vehicles.

As a HIL engineer you will work in a cross functional HIL team, with continuous improvements regarding test automation, modeling in Simulink and integration of HIL solutions. You get a broad understanding Vehicle systems and Electrical functions. You will also work with other groups and create a wide network. The role gives you a varied and challenging work. Together with your colleagues, you will further develop the HIL concept to enable test automation and “Continuous Integration”.

Working in a highly effective team, you strive to continually develop yourself and the team; you contribute in developing new ways of working to be at the forefront of industry.
