## Description

We're looking for a Hardware in the Loop (HiL) Engineer to support product development and system integration processes. As a HiL Engineer, you'll develop test procedures for automated execution, implement tests using HiL equipment, document and review execution reports, report incidents/bugs, and track software updates to fix issues.

This role requires close collaboration with feature owners, engineering, and suppliers to develop a strong understanding of vehicle functions and implement appropriate test design strategies for early identification of defects and to provide evidence of defect elimination.

Responsibilities:

- Single point of contact for the test organization and the feature owner, engineering team, and supplier

- Manage the test project for the assigned features including integration/definition, scope/coverage, time, communications, and risk

- Develop/expand testing scope

- Support the tradeoff analysis of test requirements vs test environment capabilities to define test scope and instrumentation strategies

- Analyze requirements, vehicle components electrical schematics, functional specifications, and DFMEA documentation

- Design, maintain and execute test procedures in alignment with test design guidelines and strategy

- Document test environment, automation, and vehicle variant management requirements

- Implement and validate test environment, automation, and vehicle variant management solutions

- Develop test procedures to validate the test environment (intake tests)

- Analyze test execution results to generate reports, document incidents, and drive them to resolution

- Troubleshoot vehicle systems and test environment functionality to minimize false positive incident reports

- Implement continuous improvement strategies for test design, management, and execution processes

- Document bugs

Qualifications:

- Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent

- 5+ Years of experience in automotive software development or validations.

- 5+ Years of experience in software development life cycle - CMMI and agile process experience.

- 5+ Years of experience utilizing software testing or quality assurance methodologies

- 3+ Years of experience in validation support of dSPACE or NI HIL simulators

- 3+ Years of experience in dSPACE control and automation desk software.

- 3+ Years of experience in ADAS/DAT feature testing support

- 2+ Years of experience using Scaled Agile Framework SAFE implementing agile practices and setting up SW development workflows at an enterprise scale.

Even better, you may have:

- Functional understanding of ASPICE SW development process and ISO26262 functional safety standard.

- 3+ Years of experience in distributed feature testing experience

If you think you can bring value to Ford Motor Company, we encourage you to apply!
