Senior Engineer – HIL & Simulation

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Establish and implement the strategy for Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing, virtual commissioning, and simulation infrastructure throughout the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) portfolio.

• Create, construct, and sustain real-time simulation test environments for physical controllers and embedded software.

• Design, validate, and manage high-fidelity models for batteries, inverters, and AC/DC power grids utilizing MATLAB/Simulink or RSCAD.

• Develop, implement, and maintain virtual Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) test environments for project-specific control software and troubleshooting during commissioning.

• Generate automated testing scripts and frameworks that integrate HIL/SIL testing into Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) software pipelines.

• Examine simulation and testing data to assess BESS performance, dynamic reactions, and compliance thresholds.

• Identify underlying causes of anomalies and edge-case failures, producing comprehensive technical reports.

• Simulate grid disturbances and internal battery fault scenarios to validate protection mechanisms and control logic.

• Work collaboratively with firmware, controls, systems engineering, and product validation teams to replicate field issues, verify solutions, and authorize software releases.

• Guide junior and mid-level engineers in simulation and testing methodologies.

• Propel productivity initiatives and standardize modeling processes to expedite New Product Introduction (NPI) cycles.
