Create hardware in the loop environments for embedded controllers. Collaborate with teams to develop testing strategies and maintain simulation models.
Description
DUTIES: Create hardware in the loop environments to enable development, verification and validation of embedded controllers and calibrations for battery, electrification, engine, and powertrain. Work closely with software development, calibration, and validation stakeholders to identify solutions to customer needs. Create and maintain simulation models (such as Plant, sensors and actuators, serial data communication and controller models) for creating test environments. Understand and apply DFSS tools and methodologies. Incorporate Lean Manufacturing and thinking into daily process as a HIL Engineer. Partner closely with test environment users to root cause and address unexpected test results and resolve issues encountered during test execution. Plan, communicate, and coordinate test environment strategy and model/hardware rollout to support applications and features requested by user community as needed. Support HIL bench and automated tools. Work closely with sources of models and equipment to make sure that common models and other simulation assets are shared between test environment domains and architectures. Hybrid Work Policy - 3 days In-Office, 2 Days Remote - Must be able to report to local office.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
