Typhoon HIL Testing Engineer

Job Description 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. 2. 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. Qualifications Experience: 5–8 years Domain: Electric Vehicles / Power Electronics / Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) / Energy Systems Educational qualification: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Power Electronics, Instrumentation, or related disciplines. 5–8 years of relevant experience in HIL testing, power electronics validation, or embedded controller testing.
