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 HIL Specialist develops, integrates, and validates real-time simulation models with ECUs, electrical interfaces, and vehicle hardware on Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) benches supporting automotive lighting, visibility, and low-voltage power controls. The role requires hands-on experience with MATLAB/Simulink real-time modeling and dSPACE HIL platforms, along with the ability to troubleshoot integration issues across models, ECUs, vehicle networks, electrical interfaces, and bench hardware.


Working with senior HIL engineers, model developers, ECU software teams, and bench users, the HIL specialist implements bench requirements and supports reliable test capability. The successful candidate is hands-on, methodical, safety-conscious, and eager to deepen their expertise in HIL systems and automotive controls.


What You'll Do (Responsibilities)


  • Design, implement, and test MATLAB/Simulink 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 communication models for CAN, LIN, Ethernet, and UART
  • Configure and verify bench I/O, signal mapping, network interfaces, test equipment, and ECU connections in accordance with approved bench requirements.
  • Work with bench users, model engineers, and ECU software teams to clarify requirements, debug issues, and verify acceptance criteria.
  • Troubleshoot hardware, wiring, models, ECU integration, communications, instrumentation, and configuration; document findings and escalate complex issues.
  • Use dSPACE, Simulink, ETAS INCA, Vector CANoe, Lauterbach TRACE32, or equivalent tools.
  • Automate repetitive bench tasks using Python or other suitable scripting languages.
  • Manage assigned work to milestones and communicate progress, risks, and dependencies.
  • Build knowledge of relevant vehicle systems, HIL methods, and tools.


Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Computer, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Aerospace Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • 2+ years of experience using MATLAB/Simulink for real-time simulation.
