Automotive Hardware in the Loop Simulation (HILS) Engineer

Job Description
Lumenance is looking for a self-motivated, hands-on HILS engineer with strong communication skills. This is an "open" contract engineering position with Honda R&D.

You'll be working within an automotive engineering team performing the following:

• Plan and setup of HILS test environments for assigned passenger vehicle systems.
• Create and manage validation plan and test results with HILS system measurements, and constantly seek ways to improve simulation and test quality.
• Interpret electrical schematics and select/configure appropriate HILS I/O.
• Perform some wiring harness fabrication and assist in the debugging of wiring harnesses.
• Analyze design and/or requirements specifications and authoring test specifications to validate them.
• Author robust test scripts using dSPACE Test Automation Framework and dSPACE AutomationDesk software.
• Create models in Matlab/Simulink to support HILS test and/or generate test stimulus data.
• Analyzing test results and troubleshooting/debugging HILS system using dSPACE ControlDesk software, Vector CAN, oscilloscope, etc.
• Manage libraries of test cases, models, and requirements across multiple variations of ECUs and vehicle platforms.
• Create and maintain a knowledge database of test systems, procedures, and best practices.
