Embedded Systems Test HiL Engineers
Location:
Shannon, Ireland (Onsite)
Duration:
Initial 6 months (2 year project)
Role Summary
Our Charging Systems Group is seeking
two Embedded Systems Test Engineers
to support
functional safety system testing
for upcoming
Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV)
programmes. The engineers will conduct system-level testing on
Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL)
platforms located onsite in Shannon, Ireland.
This work forms part of a wider cross-functional team responsible for validating
functional safety features
within the
high-voltage power supply system
, including On-Board Charging, DC-DC converters, Battery Management Systems (BMS), and Energy Management components.
Key Responsibilities
* Perform comprehensive testing of safety-critical embedded systems on HIL setups
* Work onsite in Shannon 5 days a week within the customer's workshop environment
* Attend all relevant team meetings and provide regular updates on testing progress
* Log and escalate impediments or test blockers in a timely manner
* Document all testing activities in accordance with defined standards and processes
* Review requirements and design documentation to define appropriate test strategies
* Develop, execute, and automate test cases aligned with functional safety requirements
* Report defects and anomalies using defined defect management processes
* Maintain and develop HIL test assets and simulation models for closed-loop testing
* Ensure testing follows ISO 26262 and other applicable safety standards
* Contribute to lessons learned and continuous improvement initiatives
* Support project closure and documentation handover at the end of the engagement
Required Skills & Experience
* Solid experience testing embedded systems in
automotive or power electronics domains
* Understanding of
functional safety systems
, including ISO 26262
* Experience with
On-Board Charging
,
DC-DC converters

* NI TestStand, VeriStand, LabVIEW
* Ability to implement
automated test cases
with accurate timing sequences
* Experience building or using
simulation models
as part of
closed-loop HIL testing
* Strong documentation, test reporting, and defect-logging skills
Desirable
* Familiarity with automotive development environments and testing frameworks
* Prior experience working as part of a cross-functional safety-focused engineering team
* Experience in system integration or diagnostics in high-voltage EV platforms
