HIL / SIL Technical Specialist

HIL/SIL Technical Specialist Location: Sterling Heights, MI Position Overview The HIL/SIL Technical Specialist will be responsible for the development, integration, and maintenance of Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) test systems supporting advanced vehicle programs. This role focuses on real-time simulation, signal conditioning, test automation, and system-level validation of embedded hardware and software. The position requires strong electrical engineering fundamentals, experience with embedded systems, and hands-on integration and testing expertise across complex military vehicle architectures. Key Responsibilities HIL/SIL System Development Develop and maintain HIL/SIL test systems Simulate synthetic driving environments (terrain, weather, lighting, position, obstacles, etc.) Implement real-time physics-based plant simulations Design and support signal conditioning and fault injection capabilities Develop and support test automation executables Configure and support data acquisition (DAQ) systems for: CAN Ethernet MIL-STD-1553 RS-422 SSI Discrete analog and digital signals Integrate and support third-party tools Electrical / Electronic Engineering Signal conditioning Encoders and counters Sinking/sourcing I/O Impedance matching A/D and D/A systems Digital filters (IIR, LP, HP, BP) Control logic design Power design Optical and galvanic isolation Analog Circuit Design Analog signal conditioning Filter design and response Nyquist sampling theory Alias mitigation Resolver circuits LVDT circuits Thermocouple circuits Serial Interface Design RS232 RS422/485 CAN MIL-STD-1553B Ethernet SPI I2C SSI Transceivers FPGA Development Sensor emulation Digital filters Serial devices High-speed logic control Microcontrollers Custom embedded microcontroller applications Power Systems AC/DC circuits Circuit protection 3VDC, 5VDC, 28VDC 120VAC and 240VAC systems High-voltage knowledge Signal Analysis Frequency and duty cycle measurement Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) Noise analysis Filter performance evaluation Cable & Harness Design Wire selection, sizing, and thermal analysis Shielding, grounding, and EMI mitigation Military connector knowledge Cable fabrication (soldering, crimping, strain relief, etc.) Signal propagation and RLC analysis Trunk and stub length analysis Electrical Documentation Single-line diagrams Electrical layout drawings Cable drawings Schematics Network Systems Ethernet network architecture CAN bus design and analysis MIL-STD-1553B systems Serial networks Video interfaces (RS170, SDI, HDMI, DVI, VGA) Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) Military Vehicle Knowledge Power systems integration Mobility systems Survivability systems Lethality systems Required Tools Experience MATLAB / Simulink NI LabVIEW NI VeriStand Xilinx Vivado Microsoft Excel Microsoft Visio Wireshark Vector CANoe Protocol analyzers / MOXA tools Position Requirements Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (required) Minor in Computer Science or Computer Engineering preferred 10+ years of full lifecycle experience in: Military systems Civil avionics systems Automotive systems Experience with embedded electronics architecture Experience testing embedded software Experience developing test applications (VeriStand, CANoe, Simulink, TestStand, or equivalent) Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics Knowledge of HIL systems, signal conditioning, simulation, and DAQ Familiarity with PCAP, PTP, and PRP standards Knowledge of safety standards (e.g., MIL-STD-882E, ISO 26262, FACE) Experience with RTOS and partitioned operating systems Experience with high‑bandwidth networks (AFDX, PCIe, Ethernet, TSN) UML / model‑based design experience US CITIZENSHIP REQUIREMENT: This assignment is a US Government Contract which requires all applicants to be US Citizens. #J-18808-Ljbffr
