Typhoon HIL Testing Engineer

We are looking for an experienced Typhoon HIL Testing Engineer responsible for developing, configuring, and executing Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing solutions using Typhoon HIL real-time simulation platforms.

The role involves validating embedded controllers and power electronics systems through real-time simulation, developing test scenarios, automating test execution, and performing functional and integration testing of control algorithms and hardware interfaces.

The candidate should have hands-on experience with Typhoon HIL hardware and software tools, particularly TyphoonSim, Schematic Editor, HIL SCADA, and Python-based test automation.

2. Key Responsibilities:

• Develop, configure, and maintain HIL test benches using Typhoon HIL hardware platforms.
• Develop real-time simulation models for power electronics converters, electrical machines, batteries, inverters, and grid-connected systems.
• Configure and integrate Hardware Under Test (HUT), including embedded controllers, BMS, inverter controllers, PCS, and EMS controllers.
• Develop and execute functional, integration, regression, and system-level test cases.
• Create electrical circuit models using Typhoon HIL Schematic Editor.
• Configure simulation models, I/O interfaces, signal conditioning, and communication interfaces.
• Develop automated test scripts using Python and Typhoon HIL API.
• Perform closed-loop testing of control algorithms and embedded software.
• Validate controller responses under normal, boundary, abnormal, and fault conditions.
• Perform fault-injection testing, protection testing, and transient response analysis.
• Integrate and validate communication protocols such as CAN, CAN FD, Modbus TCP/IP, Modbus RTU, Ethernet, and other industrial communication interfaces.
• Analyze test results, troubleshoot issues, and perform root-cause analysis.
• Develop test reports, test specifications, and requirements traceability documentation.
• Collaborate with hardware, firmware, control systems, and system engineering teams.

Educational qualification:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Power Electronics, Instrumentation, or related disciplines.
• 5-8 years of relevant experience in HIL testing, power electronics validation, or embedded controller testing.

Mandatory/requires Skills:

Key Competencies:

• Strong understanding of power electronics and control systems.
• Hands-on experience with Typhoon HIL hardware and software.
• Strong Python programming and test automation skills.
• Ability to develop real-time simulation models.
• Good debugging and problem-solving capabilities.
• Understanding of electrical systems, control algorithms, and embedded controllers.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) validation.
• Knowledge of grid-connected and grid-forming inverters.
• Experience with solar PV systems and microgrid simulation.
• Knowledge of battery modelling, SOC/SOH estimation, and BMS algorithms.
• Experience in power converter control and digital control systems.
• Knowledge of IEC 61850, DNP3, Modbus, and industrial communication protocols.
• Experience with MATLAB/Simulink and integration of simulation models.
• Knowledge of IEC 62109, IEC 62933, IEEE 1547, and relevant grid codes.
• Experience in automated regression testing and CI/CD integration.
