About the position

The HiL Engineer (Hardware in the Loop) position at V2Soft involves being the single point of contact for the test organization, feature owners, engineering teams, and suppliers. This role is critical in managing the test project for assigned features and programs, which includes overseeing integration and definition, scope and coverage, time management, communications, and risk assessment. The engineer will be responsible for developing and negotiating the testing scope and statement of work, ensuring that all aspects of the testing process are clearly defined and agreed upon. In this role, the engineer will support tradeoff analysis of test requirements versus test environment capabilities to define the test scope and instrumentation strategies. A thorough analysis of requirements, vehicle components electrical schematics, functional specifications, and FMEA documentation will be necessary to ensure that all testing is aligned with the overall project goals. The engineer will design, maintain, and execute test procedures in accordance with established test design guidelines and strategy, documenting all test environment, automation, and vehicle variant management requirements. The implementation and validation of test environment, automation, and vehicle variant management solutions will be a key responsibility, along with developing test procedures to validate the test environment through intake tests. The engineer will analyze test execution results to generate reports, document incidents, and drive them to resolution, troubleshooting vehicle systems and test environment functionality to minimize false positive incident reports. Continuous improvement strategies for test design, management, and execution processes will also be a focus, ensuring that the testing process is efficient and effective.
