Job Description

The HiL/MiL/SiL Virtual Environment Team specializes in creating and maintaining virtual testing environments. They develop simulation models and virtual platforms that replicate real-world scenarios for Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL), Model-in-the-Loop (MiL), and Software-in-the-Loop (SiL) testing, enabling efficient validation and verification of systems under development.

Tasks:

• Simulation Model Developer
  • Develop detailed and accurate simulation models representing various system components (e.g., mechanical, electrical, software logic, environmental factors).
  • Validate simulation model behavior against real-world data, analytical models, or physical test results to ensure fidelity.
  • Refine and update models iteratively based on new requirements, system design changes, or validation feedback.
  • Manage model versions and maintain a library of validated simulation assets.

• Virtual Environment Engineer
  • Design and architect the overall virtual testing environment infrastructure, including hardware (for HiL), software platforms, and network configurations.
  • Set up, configure, and maintain the virtual platforms and associated toolchains (e.g., simulation software, test automation frameworks).
  • Integrate simulation models, control software, and test scripts within the virtual environment.
  • Ensure seamless compatibility and data flow between different simulation components and external tools.

• Environment Maintenance & Optimization:
  • Regularly update and maintain the virtual environments, including software patches, hardware upgrades (for HiL rigs), and model updates, to reflect the current state of the system under test.
  • Monitor environment performance and troubleshoot issues to ensure reliable and efficient test execution.
  • Optimize virtual environments for performance, scalability, and resource utilization to support a growing number of users and complex test cases.

Deliverables:

• Maintain and update virtual environments to reflect system updates.
• Collaborate with the Architecture and Mechatronics teams to ensure consistency.
• Document simulation setups, configurations.
• Provide training and support on simulation tools and environments.
• Develop high-fidelity simulation models representing system components.

Work Products:

• Simulation model files (Simulink models, C++ code)
• Configuration files for simulation software and hardware interfaces (I/O mappings for HiL and MiL)
• Scripts for environment setup, automation, and deployment
• Technical documentation (user manuals, setup guides, architecture diagrams, model documentation)
• Validation reports for simulation models
• Performance monitoring data and logs from the virtual environments
• Training modules or presentations
