HIL Simulation Integration Engineer

The role

Responsibilities

• Design and test MATLAB/Simulink real-time models for lighting, visibility, sensing, actuation, low-voltage distribution, power management, and electrical loads.
• Integrate and validate models, ECUs, loads, sensors, interfaces, and hardware on dSPACE platforms; develop CAN, LIN, Ethernet, and UART communication models.
• Configure bench I/O, signal mapping, network interfaces, test equipment, and ECU connections to approved requirements.
• Clarify requirements with bench users and engineering teams, debug issues, and verify acceptance criteria.
• Troubleshoot hardware, wiring, models, ECU integration, communications, instrumentation, and configuration; document findings and escalate complex issues.
• Use HIL tools, automate repetitive bench tasks, manage milestones, communicate progress and risks, and build knowledge of vehicle systems and HIL methods.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Computer, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Aerospace Engineering, or a related discipline.
• At least 2 years using MATLAB/Simulink for real-time simulation and at least 2 years with dSPACE HIL platforms, including SCALEXIO and ControlDesk.
• Foundational mechatronics and electronics knowledge, familiarity with PCB design, and ability to integrate ECUs, models, interfaces, and test equipment into closed-loop HIL benches.
• Working knowledge of automotive CAN, LIN, and Ethernet communications and diagnostics; ability to troubleshoot electrical, hardware, simulation, and communication issues.
• Familiarity with automotive embedded controls testing and tools such as ETAS INCA, Vector CANoe, or Lauterbach TRACE32.
• Proficiency in Python, C/C++, or similar languages for test automation and bench utilities.
• Hands-on mechanical and electrical skills, attention to detail, initiative, lab safety commitment, effective communication, collaboration, and ability to manage priorities.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience with automotive lighting, visibility systems, low-voltage power distribution, battery/charging interfaces, power modes, or electrical loads.
• Familiarity with vehicle electrical/electronic architectures, SOME/IP, and Service Discovery.
• Experience with test automation, automated regression, or fault insertion.
• Experience working in an iterative or Agile engineering environment.

Compensation and benefits

• The stated salary range is $90,900 to $136,400; the actual base salary offered within the range varies based on factors relevant to the position.
• Benefits include paid time off, health, dental and vision coverage, life insurance, defined-contribution pension contributions, and a GM Vehicle Purchase Plan.
