Job Summary:

We are seeking an experienced HIL Consultant to support diagnostic software verification across model-in-the-loop (MiL), software-in-the-loop (SiL), and hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) environments. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of embedded systems testing, diagnostic protocols (DIDs, RIDs, DTCs), and experience developing custom testing tools in C and Python. You will play a crucial role in ensuring software quality and functionality for next-generation embedded operating systems in heavy machinery such as combines and tractors.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and implement software testing strategies for diagnostic features in MiL, SiL, and HiL environments.

  • Verify embedded diagnostic software functionality to meet stakeholder and regulatory requirements.

  • Create, maintain, and execute detailed test plans for software validation across platforms.

  • Perform continuous testing and verification of OS software, including regression and integration testing.

  • Support Product Design Reviews (PDRs), focusing on requirement maturity and traceability.

  • Develop and maintain automated diagnostic testing tools using C and Python.

  • Collaborate with system engineers and software developers to improve testability and validation coverage.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor s or Master s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.

  • Proven experience in embedded systems testing, particularly in diagnostics for automotive or agricultural machinery.

  • Hands-on experience with HiL systems such as dSPACE, NI, or Vector.

  • Strong knowledge of diagnostic protocols: DIDs, RIDs, and DTCs (ISO 14229, UDS, etc.).

  • Proficiency in programming languages: C and Python.

  • Familiarity with test management tools and software lifecycle processes (e.g., ASPICE, V-Model).

  • Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.

Preferred Skills:

  • Experience with model-based development tools (MATLAB/Simulink).

  • Familiarity with continuous integration systems and version control (Git, Jenkins, etc.).
