Typhoon HIL Testing Engineer

We are looking for an experienced Typhoon HIL Testing Engineer responsible for developing, configuring, and executing Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing solutions using Typhoon HIL real-time simulation platforms.

The role involves validating embedded controllers and power electronics systems through real-time simulation, developing test scenarios, automating test execution, and performing functional and integration testing of control algorithms and hardware interfaces.

The candidate should have hands-on experience with Typhoon HIL hardware and software tools, particularly TyphoonSim, Schematic Editor, HIL SCADA, and Python-based test automation.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, configure, and maintain HIL test benches using Typhoon HIL hardware platforms.
• Develop real-time simulation models for power electronics converters, electrical machines, batteries, inverters, and grid-connected systems.
• Configure and integrate Hardware Under Test (HUT), including embedded controllers, BMS, inverter controllers, PCS, and EMS controllers.
• Develop and execute functional, integration, regression, and system-level test cases.
• Create electrical circuit models using Typhoon HIL Schematic Editor.
• Configure simulation models, I/O interfaces, signal conditioning, and communication interfaces.
• Develop automated test scripts using Python and Typhoon HIL API.
• Perform closed-loop testing of control algorithms and embedded software.
• Validate controller responses under normal, boundary, abnormal, and fault conditions.
• Perform fault-injection testing, protection testing, and transient response analysis.
• Integrate and validate communication protocols such as CAN, CAN FD, Modbus TCP/IP, Modbus RTU, Ethernet, and other industrial communication interfaces.
• Analyze test results, troubleshoot issues, and perform root-cause analysis.
• Develop test reports, test specifications, and requirements traceability documentation.
• Collaborate with hardware, firmware, control systems, and system engineering teams.
