With 3,000+ experts across North America, we partner with leading companies in aerospace, medical devices, robotics, automotive, commercial vehicles, EVs, rail, and more.\nAs part of the global ALTEN Group-57,000+ engineers in 30 countries-we deliver across the entire product development cycle, from consulting to full project outsourcing.\nWhen you join ALTEN Technology USA, you’ll collaborate on some of the world’s toughest engineering challenges, supported by mentorship, career growth opportunities, and comprehensive benefits. We take pride in fostering a culture where employees feel valued, supported, and inspired to grow.\nJob Overview\nWe are seeking a HIL Engineer responsible for building, setting up, integrating, and commissioning Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test benches for automotive electronic control units (ECUs).\nThe engineer will be responsible for the complete HIL bench setup, including hardware installation, electrical wiring, ECU connections, I/O configuration, communication networks, power supplies, signal interfaces, and system integration. The role requires a hands-on engineer who can troubleshoot the bench at the hardware and software level and prepare the HIL environment for testing and validation.\nKey Responsibilities\nBuild and configure HIL test benches for automotive ECU testing and validation.\nInstall and integrate HIL hardware, including HIL simulation systems, ECU interfaces, I/O modules, power supplies, signal conditioning units, load boards, relay/switching systems, and measurement equipment.\nPerform electrical wiring and physical connections between ECUs, HIL systems, breakout boxes, loads, sensors, and other test equipment.\nConfigure ECU power, ignition, ground, analog, digital, PWM, frequency, and other required signals.\nConfigure and troubleshoot automotive communication networks such as CAN, CAN FD, LIN, FlexRay, and Ethernet.\nSet up communication interfaces, network termination, routing, and signal connections.\nConfigure HIL I/O channels and map ECU signals to the simulation environment.\nSupport ECU installation, removal, and connection to HIL benches.\nPerform bench commissioning, bring-up, and functional checks before testing begins.\nVerify wiring, pinouts, connectors, voltage levels, signal integrity, and communication interfaces.\nTroubleshoot HIL bench hardware, electrical, communication, and configuration issues.\nUse electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, ECU pinouts, interface specifications, and system documentation to build and troubleshoot test setups.\nConfigure and maintain HIL system software and associated test environments.\nSupport integration of plant models and real-time simulation environments.\nWork with test and validation engineers to prepare the HIL bench for automated and manual testing.\nDocument bench configurations, wiring, hardware changes, issues, and troubleshooting activities.\nMaintain HIL benches and support upgrades, modifications, and new ECU integrations.\nRequired Qualifications\nEngineering degree or equivalent technical background in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, Automotive Engineering, or a related field.\nHands-on experience building, configuring, integrating, or troubleshooting HIL test benches.\nStrong understanding of automotive electrical and electronic systems.\nExperience working with ECUs, sensors, actuators, I/O systems, and test equipment.\nStrong knowledge of automotive communication protocols, particularly CAN/CAN FD and LIN.\nAbility to read and understand electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, ECU pinouts, and connector documentation.\nExperience with electrical wiring, harnesses, connectors, breakout boxes, and test interfaces.\nUnderstanding of ECU power supply, grounding, signal conditioning, and electrical troubleshooting.\nStrong hands-on troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience with HIL platforms such as dSPACE, Vector, NI, ETAS, or Speedgoat.\nExperience with dSPACE SCALEXIO / MicroAutoBox or similar real-time simulation platforms.\nExperience with Vector CANoe/CANalyzer.\nExperience with MATLAB/Simulink and real-time simulation.\nExperience configuring HIL I/O and signal mapping.\nKnowledge of CAN, CAN FD, LIN, FlexRay, Automotive Ethernet, UDS, and diagnostics.\nExperience with ECU flashing, diagnostics, and communication testing.\nExperience with automotive network databases such as DBC files.\nExperience with test automation and scripting using Python, CAPL, MATLAB, or similar tools.\nUnderstanding of plant models and real-time simulation.\nKey Technical Skills\nHIL Bench Setup & Integration\nHIL Bench Build\nHIL Hardware Integration\nECU Integration\nI/O Configuration\nSignal Mapping\nElectrical Wiring\nBench Commissioning\nHardware Troubleshooting\nAutomotive Communication\nCAN / CAN FD\nLIN\nFlexRay\nAutomotive Ethernet\nUDS / Diagnostics\nCANoe / CANalyzer\nHIL Platforms\ndSPACE\nVector\nNI\nETAS\nSpeedgoat\nSoftware / Automation\nMATLAB / Simulink\nPython\nCAPL\nTest Automation\nReal-Time Simulation\nIdeal Candidate Profile\nThe ideal candidate is a hands-on HIL Engineer who has physically built and commissioned HIL benches, rather than only executing tests on an established HIL environment.\nThe candidate should be comfortable with wiring ECUs, configuring I/O, connecting sensors and actuators, setting up CAN/LIN/Ethernet communication, configuring HIL hardware, troubleshooting electrical signals, and bringing the complete bench into an operational state.\nAll qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment and will not be discriminated against on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, age, genetic information, or pregnancy.\nPlease beware of job seeker scams and see this important notice on our careers page for more
