Entry-Level Design Engineer

Staff Software Engineer (HIL/SIL)

A Staff Software Engineer (HIL/SIL) job opportunity is open with our client in Berkeley, CA. In this role you will lead the development of the unified software platform powering their Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) testing ecosystems. To be considered for this role you will have a degree in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering or equivalent and 7+ years in software engineering, with a proven track record of building HIL/SIL platforms or similar platforms at the interface of hardware and software.

• Create new HIL and SIL testbeds, contributing end-to-end across requirements definition, architectural design, and execution.
• Collaborate closely with the Test infra, Electrical Engineering, Firmware and Software teams.
• Architect a platform that enables a single test case to run seamlessly across both physical Hardware in the Loop (HIL) and virtual Software in the Loop (SIL) benches.
• Contribute to the requirements definition, and down selection of HIL/SIL tooling alternatives.
• Develop intuitive user interfaces that enable cross-functional engineering teams to interact efficiently with the platform.
• Design robust device drivers to ensure precise control and communication within the HIL system.
• Scale the SIL cloud infrastructure to support advanced battery simulations.
• Troubleshoot complex electrical and software systems, utilizing schematics and test equipment to isolate platform-level issues.

• Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent.
• 7+ years in software engineering, with a proven track record of building HIL/SIL platforms or similar platforms at the interface of hardware and software.
• Proficiency with python, with a background in object-oriented design and software architecture principles.
• Strong electrical engineering foundations, including the ability to read electrical schematics, debug physical hardware, and work comfortably with low-level device drivers.
• Familiarity working with embedded communication protocols, such as CAN, SPI and UART.
