Description

Vacancy Status:

This posting is not for an existing vacancy within the organization and is open to new applications.


AI Disclosure:

As part of the application process, Artificial Intelligence will be used in the hiring process for this role


Work Arrangement : Hybrid: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Markham or Oshawa office three times per week, at minimum. 


The Role


The Senior HIL Specialist leads the development, integration, and validation of real-time Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) environments for lighting and visibility systems and low-voltage power systems. The role integrates simulation models with ECUs, software, calibrations, sensors, actuators, bench wiring, and instrumentation.


The successful candidate brings strong MATLAB/Simulink and dSPACE expertise, end-to-end mechatronic integration and troubleshooting skills, and the technical leadership to scale HIL capabilities across programs and users. Working with controls, software, model-development, and lab-operations teams, the Senior HIL Specialist delivers safe, reliable benches while advancing engineering practices through mentoring, automation, and continuous improvement.


What You'll Do (Responsibilities)


  • Own end-to-end HIL solutions and execution for automotive lighting, visibility, and low-voltage power systems, from requirements through modeling, integration, and validation.
  • Develop and integrate real-time plant and environment models for automotive lighting, visibility, sensing and actuation, low-voltage distribution, power management, and electrical loads.
  • Integrate and validate real-time models, ECUs, loads, sensors, electrical interfaces, and hardware on dSPACE platforms.
  • Develop and integrate CAN, LIN, Ethernet, and UART communication models
  • Partner with controls and ECU software teams to define test needs, acceptance criteria, and bench hardware changes that reflect intended system behavior.
  • Lead complex HIL investigations across models, ECUs, networks, electrical interfaces, instrumentation, and hardware; find root causes and implement lasting fixes.
  • Mentor HIL specialists, technicians, and bench users; communicate risks, dependencies, and technical decisions.
  • Coordinate program milestones, resource dependencies, and model or hardware rollouts with stakeholders; ensure deliverables are complete and aligned to program needs.
  • Create and maintain clear technical documentation for bench architecture, interfaces, operating procedures, known limitations, and troubleshooting.
  • Follow laboratory safety requirements and lead safe operations and change management for test apparatuses.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)


  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Computer, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Aerospace Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • Demonstrated technical leadership, sound judgment, initiative, and cross-functional collaboration.
  • 8+ years of experience with dSPACE HIL platforms and tools, including SCALEXIO and ControlDesk.
  • 8+ years of experience using MATLAB/Simulink for real-time simulation 
  • Ability to integrate ECUs, models, electrical interfaces, and test equipment into closed-loop HIL benches and validate them against requirements.
  • Strong knowledge of automotive CAN, LIN, and Ethernet communications and diagnostics.
  • Experience with embedded controls development and tools such as ETAS INCA, Vector CANoe, and Lauterbach TRACE32.
  • Ability to troubleshoot issues across electrical hardware, simulation, software, networks, measurement, and configuration.
  • Proficiency in Python, C/C++, or similar languages for test automation and bench utilities.
  • Experience with requirements, verification planning, issue tracking, configuration management, and iterative delivery.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including explaining technical issues to varied audiences.
  • Hands-on electrical and mechanical lab skills, with a commitment to safe work practices.

What Can Give You A Competitive Edge ( Preferred Qualifications):


  • Domain experience in lighting/visibility controls, low-voltage power systems, or both; alternatively, demonstrated ability to learn and integrate adjacent automotive systems.
  • Familiarity with vehicle electrical/electronic architectures, SOME/IP, and Service Discovery.
  • Experience improving HIL bench architecture or standardizing capabilities across benches or programs.

Compensation: 

The salary range for this role is $115,000 to $164,600. The actual base salary a successful candidate will be offered within this range will vary based on factors relevant to the position.
