Job description

Our client, a leader in virtual vehicle development, is seeking a Senior xIL Framework Simulation Engineer to join their team. As a Senior xIL Framework Simulation Engineer, you will be part of the xIL Framework, Tools & Simulation organization supporting enterprise virtual validation initiatives. The ideal candidate will have a strong technical leadership mindset, a passion for building scalable simulation toolchains, and the drive to partner across global engineering teams to standardize high-fidelity xIL capabilities.

Job Title: Senior xIL Framework Simulation Engineer

Location: Auburn Hills, MI (Onsite)

What's the Job?

• Architect and lead development of scalable xIL frameworks (SiL/HiL/ViL), ensuring modular, configurable, and reusable simulation architectures.
• Drive integration and industrialization of the xIL tool ecosystem, including simulation orchestration/workflow engines, model and artifact lifecycle management, and data pipelines/analytics.
• Define and standardize rest bus simulation environments, leading network simulation models for CAN, Ethernet, LIN, and FlexRay, including accurate representation of missing ECUs and system interactions.
• Establish CI/CD integration strategies for simulation and testing, enabling automated, reliable, and scalable execution (including cloud-based and distributed simulation at scale).
• Partner with global stakeholders across plant modeling, vECU/software development, architecture/integration, and validation/testing to drive enterprise rollout, adoption, training, and risk‑aware program execution.

What's Needed?

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 4+ years of experience in xIL frameworks and virtual validation (MiL/SiL/HiL), simulation toolchains, and system integration.
