Project Leader - HIL

Job Title - Project Leader - HIL

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain HIL test setups for ECUs and control systems.
• Develop real-time plant models (electrical, hydraulic, powertrain, thermal where applicable) for HIL environments.
• Execute functional, integration, regression, and fault-injection tests on HIL platforms.
• Support SIL-HIL-machine correlation activities and root cause analysis.

Verification & Validation:

• Derive test cases from system and software requirements.
• Create and maintain test specifications, procedures, and reports.
• Ensure requirement traceability between system requirements and test results.
• Support Design Verification Plan (DVP) activities across SIL, HIL, and component levels.

Tools & Platforms:

• Work with HIL systems such as dSPACE, NI, Vector VT, OPAL-RT, or equivalent.
• Use modelling and scripting tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, Python, CAPL/ CANoe or similar).
• Interface with CAN/LIN/Ethernet networks and diagnostic tools.

Collaboration & Stakeholders:

• Collaborate closely with system engineering, software, electrical, and mechanical teams.
• Work with global teams, including Örebro, Nashik, and other R&D centers.
• Support issue resolution during development, integration, and machine testing phases.

Quality & Safety:

• Contribute to quality assurance activities with awareness of ASPICE and functional safety concepts (ISO 26262 / ISO 13849 where applicable).
• Ensure compliance with internal engineering processes and safety standards.

Competences, skills and experience:

• Required Qualifications & Experience
• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics, Control Systems, or related engineering discipline.
