Senior HIL Development Engineer – Automotive Embedded Systems - Ledigt jobb hos Integro Consulting AB

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced HIL Development Engineer with strong hands-on expertise in Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) architecture, development, modelling, integration, and system-level debugging.

This role is focused on developing and maintaining advanced HIL environments used for vehicle system validation. We are looking for engineers who have experience building and improving HIL test systems – not only executing tests. The ideal candidate has a strong background in real-time simulation, ECU integration, automotive communication, and troubleshooting complex embedded systems.

You will work closely with development, verification, and integration teams to secure robust test environments and support the validation of future vehicle technologies.

• CAN FD
• LIN
• FlexRay
• Automotive Ethernet
• Configure and debug communication databases and network setups.
• Use tools such as:
• CANoe
• CANalyzer
• ControlDesk
• INCA
• Similar diagnostic tools
• Perform root-cause analysis of ECU, communication, and system-level issues.

HIL Operations, Maintenance & Troubleshooting

• Operate and monitor HIL benches on a daily basis.
• Manage software flashing, configuration management, and release deployment.
• Troubleshoot:
• Hardware issues
• Software issues
• Simulation model problems
• Communication-related failures
• Monitor test environment stability and resolve technical issues.
• Collaborate with development, validation, and integration teams to ensure system readiness.

ADAS & Sensor Knowledge (Meritorious)

Experience or knowledge within ADAS systems is considered an advantage.

Examples of relevant areas:

• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
• Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)
• Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
• Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR)
• Blind Spot Detection (BSD)
• Pilot Assist functions

Knowledge of sensor technologies is beneficial:

• Radar
• Camera systems
• LiDAR
• Ultrasonic sensors
• GNSS
• IMU

Experience with ADAS scenario generation and sensor simulation is highly valued.

System-Level Debugging & Technical Leadership

• Perform end-to-end debugging across:
• ECUs
• Communication networks
• Simulation models
• HIL environments
• Support definition and improvement of HIL architectures and validation strategies.
• Drive technical discussions with engineering teams and stakeholders.
• Mentor colleagues and contribute with technical guidance.
• Take ownership of complex technical challenges and drive solutions forward.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, Mechatronics, Computer Science, or equivalent.
• Several years of hands-on experience in automotive HIL development and integration.
• Strong experience building and developing HIL environments.
• Proven experience with MATLAB/Simulink modelling and real-time simulation.
• Experience integrating ECUs and communication networks in HIL environments.
• Strong understanding of automotive embedded systems and vehicle validation.
• Experience with automotive communication protocols and diagnostics.
• Experience with HIL platforms such as dSPACE, Vector, ETAS, NI, or Speedgoat.
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work independently and drive technical activities.

Preferred Skills

• Experience within ADAS systems and sensor technologies.
• Experience with test automation and CI/CD environments.
• Knowledge of vehicle dynamics modelling.
• Experience from large automotive development projects.

Personal Profile

We are looking for someone who is:

• A hands-on engineer with strong technical ownership.
• Experienced in solving complex system-level problems.
• Analytical, structured, and quality-focused.
• Comfortable working cross-functionally with different engineering teams.
• Able to take initiative and drive technical improvements.
• Passionate about embedded systems, simulation, and future vehicle technologies.
