About the Role
As a Software Validation Engineer, you will design and maintain Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) environments to stress-test power electronics and site controllers. Your mission is to build automated frameworks that identify edge cases before deployment, ensuring product reliability.
Responsibilities
- Architect and scale SIL and HIL environments using platforms like Typhoon HIL, Opal-RT, or similar.
- Lead the development of automated test suites in Python to transition validation processes to a fully automated framework.
- Define and execute comprehensive Verification and Validation (V&V) plans.
- Integrate automated HIL/SIL testing into CI/CD pipelines.
- Design custom interface hardware and wiring for HIL benches.
- Debug complex failures found during validation using logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and telemetry logs.
Requirements
- BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
- 2+ years of professional experience in software validation or test automation for hardware-focused systems.
- Proven experience with real-time simulation platforms (Typhoon HIL, Opal-RT, or dSPACE).
- Deep understanding of how to model power electronics components in a virtual environment.
- Expert proficiency in Python for test automation frameworks like Pytest.
- Familiarity with Rust and C/C++ to navigate embedded codebases.
- Comfortable in a high-voltage lab environment.
- Proficient with standard lab equipment (oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads).
- Proficient with digital protocols like CAN, SPI, and Ethernet.
- Dedicated mindset for identifying critical edge cases in complex state machines and control loops.
- Experience with Git, Jenkins/GitHub Actions, and containerization tools like Docker.
