HIL / xIL Development Engineer

Stellantis is seeking a HIL / xIL Development Engineer to support Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) systems, plant model development, and system integration across MIL, SIL, and HIL environments. This role plays a critical part in accelerating validation for powertrain systems including ICE, HEV, and BEV applications. The engineer will collaborate cross-functionally with software, controls, calibration, and systems engineering teams to develop, integrate, and troubleshoot simulation environments for vehicle programs.

Responsibilities

• Develop and reduce plant models for HIL applications and maintain a reusable model library

• Integrate models across MIL, SIL, and HIL environments

• Configure and commission HIL simulators for vehicle-specific applications

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (software, controls, calibration, systems engineering) on requirements and integration

• Troubleshoot and resolve HIL simulation and integration issues during commissioning

• Support ECU hardware interface definition and electrical harness design

• Perform benchmarking, evaluate new HIL technologies, and improve development processes and tools

• Work with global engineering teams across NA, EMEA, APAC, and LATAM regions

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field

• Minimum of 5 years of experience in automotive industry and Hardware in Loop/HiL

• Experience with plant and controller modeling, simulation, development and testing.

• Experience in Model Based Development on any Powertrain Application, preferred Matlab-Simulink/Stateflow/SimScape

• Knowledge and experience with Powertrain ICE, HEV and BEV systems

• Demonstrated Hardware- In-the-Loop systems experience (dSPACE, ETAS, NI HIL systems)

• Experience with C/C++ code generation

• Experience with 1-D physical modeling tools such as GT Power, AMESim and co-simulation tools

• Hands on experience with the dSpace Simulators (Scalexio), Harness design, implementation, Electrical Loads etc
