Test Engineer

Are you a HIL Test Engineer with BMS experience?

Do you aspire to work for a market-leading EVTOL manufacturing organization?

A cutting-edge EVTOL manufacturer is looking for a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Test Engineer to help validate the battery systems powering tomorrow’s air mobility. This is a 6–12 month onsite contract role based in California, with strong potential for a permanent position based on performance.

Why This Role? You'll be joining a passionate team that's redefining what's possible in the EVTOL space. This is your chance to work hands-on with bleeding-edge battery technology in a dynamic, fast-paced environment where every test you run directly contributes to launching electric aircraft into the skies.

What You'll Be Doing:

Develop and run automated HIL test cases for battery management systems (BMS)

Simulate real-world behaviors: voltage, current, SoC, thermal effects, and faults

Work closely with software and hardware teams to validate safety and protection logic

Contribute to test reports, root cause analysis, and ongoing improvement of tools and systems

What We're Looking For:

Proven experience with HIL testing (Speedgoat, dSPACE, NI, etc.)

Python scripting for automation

Deep understanding of BMS functionality: balancing, fault detection, safety

Comfortable simulating electrical systems and working with protocols like CAN

Experience in aerospace or automotive batteries

Familiarity with tools like CANape, CANalyzer, or Simulink
