Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Team Lead
Core
Lead the Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) program to verify critical electrical, timing, and fault-handling requirements for autonomous vehicle software before track deployment.
Role type
Senior IC Team Lead, Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL)
Builds
Tiered HIL architecture (component-level to full-system integration benches) and safety-critical fault injection scenarios for autonomous trucks and robotaxis.
Domain
Autonomous transportation / Automotive / Embedded Systems
Deliverable
production ML models | product features | infrastructure
Required skills
HIL architecture design, embedded systems test, safety-critical fault injection, real-time constraint validation, CI/CD integration, automotive protocols (CAN, Ethernet), Python, test automation, technical leadership
Preferred skills
Functional safety standards (ISO 26262), heterogeneous compute platforms (NVIDIA DRIVE SoCs, safety MCUs), fault-injection hardware design, autonomous vehicle program experience
Technologies
Python, oscilloscopes, high-speed DAQ, CAN, automotive Ethernet, CI pipelines
Responsibilities
Define and deliver tiered HIL architecture across multiple vehicle platforms; verify critical requirements from full-vehicle testing onto HIL benches; own safety-critical fault injection on real hardware; validate real-time constraints using hardware timestamping; integrate HIL testing into CI and release processes; plan bench capacity and hardware resources; hire and grow the HIL team; establish documentation and success metrics
Seniority
Senior, hands-on IC with team leadership
