HIL Development Engineer – Test Rig Architecture & Real-Time Simulation
Summary
Designs and builds hardware-in-the-loop test rigs for automotive systems using dSPACE/Vector hardware and MATLAB/Simulink real-time models, troubleshooting ECU networks and communication protocols.
Build the Test Rigs Driving the Future of Mobility
Are you a hands-on engineer who loves building HIL test benches from scratch rather than just running tests on them?
At MittLogik, we’re looking for experienced HIL Development Engineers – Test Rig Architecture & Real-Time Simulation to design, build, and optimize the hardware-in-the-loop environments that make modern automotive technology possible.
If you thrive on real-time modeling, dSPACE/Vector hardware, and solving complex system-level bugs, we’d love to have you on our team!
What You’ll Do
Instead of just executing test scripts, you will own the full HIL ecosystem:
- Design & Build Rigs: Commission and maintain HIL test benches using platforms like dSPACE, Vector, ETAS, NI, or Speedgoat.
- Real-Time Simulation: Build and fine-tune plant and vehicle models using MATLAB/Simulink.
- Configure ECUs, sensors, and communication networks (CAN, CAN FD, LIN, FlexRay, Automotive Ethernet).
- Root-cause complex issues across models, networks, and physical hardware using CANoe, ControlDesk, or INCA.
- Flash software, resolve bench bugs, and collaborate directly with validation and development teams.
What We’re Looking For
- Proven HIL Development Experience: You’ve built and integrated HIL test rigs—not just operated them.
- Solid experience in MATLAB/Simulink for real-time model deployment.
- Strong background in automotive communication protocols and diagnostics tools (CANoe, CANalyzer, etc.).
- A passion for end-to-end system troubleshooting.
Nice to Have (But Not Required):
- Knowledge of ADAS features (ACC, AEB, LKA) and sensor simulation (Radar, Camera, LiDAR).
- Understanding of vehicle dynamics or CI/CD test automation pipelines.
