Senior HiL Engineer - Automotive

About the role

We’re ALTEN Technology USA, an engineering company helping clients bring groundbreaking ideas to life. Our team partners with leading companies in aerospace, medical devices, robotics, automotive, commercial vehicles, EVs, rail, and more.

Responsibilities

• Execute HiL test cases against feature and system requirements, and analyze the results
• Write and maintain automated test sequences and scripts using Python, CAPL, or dSPACE AutomationDesk
• Bring ECUs up on the bench: flashing software, verifying communication, configuring restbus simulation
• Analyze CAN, LIN, and Ethernet traces to determine whether a failure sits in the device under test, the bench, or the test script itself
• Build and modify breakout boxes, load boxes, and test harnesses; instrument simulated sensors and actuators
• Run bench health checks and intake tests before a campaign starts, so campaign results can be trusted
• Write clear defect reports with reproduction steps and supporting evidence, and drive them to closure
• Maintain traceability from requirement to test case to result
• Support senior engineers during new bench builds, wiring, and commissioning

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Computer, Mechatronics, or Mechanical Engineering, or Computer Science
• 0–3 years of professional experience; relevant internships or co-ops count
• Hands-on exposure to at least one real-time or HiL platform — dSPACE, NI VeriStand, ETAS, Vector, Speedgoat, or equivalent academic lab work
• Working knowledge of CAN and automotive network fundamentals
• Scripting ability in Python or MATLAB
• Comfort with lab hardware: multimeters, oscilloscopes, bench power supplies, and reading wiring diagrams and schematics
• Clear written documentation habits — test evidence is only useful if someone else can follow it

Qualifications

• Authorization to work in the United States without sponsorship, [now or in the future]
• Ability to work onsite in Dearborn, MI

Benefits

The actual salary offered is dependent on various factors including, but not limited to, location, the candidate’s combination of job-related knowledge, qualifications, skills, education, training, and experience.
