You will collaborate closely with controls, firmware, modeling, and system engineering teams to ensure robust, safe, and high-fidelity validation.

Key Responsibilities

HIL Rig Development & Operation

  • Build and operate HIL rigs using Speedgoat and Simulink Real-Time.
  • Configure I / O mapping, deterministic scheduling, and solver settings (targeting ~1 ms step sizes).
  • Manage harnesses, configurations, and hardware setup for reliable system operation.

Plant Modeling

  • Develop and maintain Simulink / Simscape Electrical models for PCS / inverters, filters / transformers, BESS, and BMS.
  • Validate model accuracy using bench and field data to ensure high-fidelity simulations.
  • HIL Simulation & Integration

  • Integrate Schneider M580 PLCs with Speedgoat using Modbus TCP.
  • Validate commands, telemetry, alarms / events, time synchronization, and fail-safe sequences.
  • Perform end-to-end controller validation in a real-time environment.
  • Test Authoring & Execution

  • Derive requirement-based MiL / SiL / HIL tests for :
  • Power / VAR control, ramp-rate, frequency / voltage response

  • SoC management, thermal derates
  • Ride-through behaviors, startup / shutdown
  • Fault and abnormal operating scenarios
  • Execute tests and document results with traceability.
  • Automation & Regression Testing

  • Implement automated regression suites with pass / fail metrics, waveform capture, and auto-generated reports.
  • Integrate testing workflows with Git and CI pipelines.
  • Defect Management

  • Analyze logs, root-cause issues across controllers, PLCs, and plant models.
  • Document issues, verify fixes, and maintain full requirement-to-test-to-result traceability.
  • Rig Reliability & Safety

  • Maintain calibration, configurations, and harness integrity.
  • Implement system health checks and monitor safe lab procedures.
  • Minimum Qualifications

  • B.S. / M.S. in Electrical, Controls, Power, Mechatronics, or related engineering field.
  • 3 7+ years of experience in embedded / controls testing & validation using HIL.
  • Strong proficiency with MATLAB / Simulink, including Simulink Test, Simulink Real-Time, and Simscape Electrical.
  • Experience programming in Python or VBA.
  • Hands-on Speedgoat experience at ~1 ms base rates (fixed-step solvers, rate transitions, task partitioning).
  • PLC integration experience (Schneider M580 preferred) and familiarity with IEC 61131-3.
  • Knowledge of protocols : Modbus / TCP and DNP3 (commands, telemetry, timestamped events).
  • Experience with Git version control and collaborative development workflows.
  • Excellent communication skills with strong analytical, debugging, and documentation capabilities.
