• Develop and execute HIL test procedures for propulsion systems.
• Troubleshoot hardware, software, communication, and configuration issues during commissioning.
• Work with CAN, CAN FD, LIN, and Ethernet communication networks.
• Perform system validation and testing of propulsion-related components and controls.
• Read and troubleshoot electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical documentation.
• Collaborate with controls, software, calibration, mechanical, and test engineering teams.
• Document HIL configurations, commissioning activities, test results, and issues.

Required Skills

• Strong hands-on experience with HIL commissioning and hardware setup.
• Experience with dSPACE HIL systems.
• Knowledge of propulsion systems, such as engine, transmission, hybrid, electric motor, or power electronics.
• Experience with ControlDesk, AutomationDesk, ConfigurationDesk, or similar dSPACE tools.
• Understanding of ECUs, sensors, actuators, I/O, and control systems.
• Experience with CAN/CAN FD, LIN, and Ethernet.
• Ability to troubleshoot hardware and software issues independently.
• Knowledge of MATLAB/Simulink/Stateflow is preferred.
• Ability to work hands-on in a lab/test-bench environment.

Education
