HIL Test Engineer

HIL Test Engineer – Flight Control Focus

We have been retained to hire a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Test Engineer who thrives in hands-on environments. If you're passionate about embedded control systems and have experience validating real-time software through HIL environments, this is your opportunity to make a real impact.

What You'll Be Doing

Develop and run automated HIL test cases for real-time flight control systems

Use Python to write test scripts that simulate real-world flight conditions

Validate controllers under fault scenarios, edge cases, and nominal conditions

Work closely with software and controls engineers to debug issues across hardware and software

What You Bring

Degree in Electrical or Electronics Engineering (stronger focus on electrical systems preferred)

Hands-on HIL testing experience (Speedgoat, dSPACE, NI, or similar platforms)

Strong Python skills for scripting and automation

Solid understanding of real-time embedded control systems (flight control, motor/inverter control, etc.)

Experience working with flight control systems—aerospace, drones, or high-integrity robotics

Bonus If You Have:

Background in drone development, electric vehicles, or aerospace systems

Experience with MATLAB/Simulink and model-based design

Familiarity with DO-178C or other regulated software environments

Why Join?

Backed by major funding and flying prototypes

Agile team with a fail-fast mentality—you’re encouraged to move quickly, iterate, and get tests in the air
