Senior HIL Engineer

About the role

The Senior XIL Development Engineer plays a crucial role in designing, developing, and maintaining advanced X-in-the-Loop (XIL) test environments that support the validation of Assisted & Automated Driving (AAD) features. This role involves implementing scalable virtual validation solutions, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and driving continuous improvement initiatives.

Responsibilities

• Designing and developing XIL (MIL, SIL, HIL) test environments and real-time simulation models to support AAD feature validation.
• Implementing and delivering scalable virtual validation solutions aligned with architectural requirements, industry standards, and business objectives.
• Collaborating with Test Platform, System Test, Modelling & Simulation, and XIL Execution teams to ensure effective integration and deployment of test environments.
• Providing technical leadership, guidance, and advanced troubleshooting support for complex XIL test environment issues.
• Managing supplier, facility, and stakeholder interactions to ensure test environments are safe, reliable, and fit for purpose.
• Driving continuous improvement initiatives to enhance test efficiency, simulation capability, and product quality.
• Sharing technical updates, best practices, and innovations across the wider AAD Validation & Verification community.

Requirements

• Degree qualification in Electronics, Software, Automotive, Aerospace Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent industry experience.
• Experience developing XIL test environments (MIL, SIL, HIL, or VIL) within the automotive, aerospace, or related technology sectors.
• Strong expertise in model-based development using MATLAB, Simulink, Stateflow, and real-time simulation tools.
• Experience working with HIL platforms, vehicle networks, diagnostics protocols, AUTOSAR frameworks, and virtual vehicle simulation environments.
• Knowledge of software development methodologies, systems engineering principles, and industry standards such as ISO 26262 and ASAM OpenX.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to a range of stakeholders.
• Ability to work independently, lead technical activities, and support the development and mentoring of other engineers.
