Job Summary: We are seeking a driven and hands-on Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Software Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will be critical in ensuring the reliability and performance of our software by rigorously testing it within physical hardware environments. Your primary focus will be on taking existing software and performing comprehensive testing against physical or simulated hardware, identifying issues, and contributing to overall system quality.

Key Responsibilities:

• Execute thorough testing of existing software applications against physical and/or simulated hardware systems.
• Conduct hands-on hardware testing, comfortable with making necessary connections for testing purposes.
• Debug software issues that arise during hardware-in-the-loop and software-in-the-loop testing cycles.
• Analyze test results to ensure software performance and functionality meet specifications.
• Collaborate closely with development teams to understand software functionality and provide actionable feedback for improvements.
• Document test procedures, results, and bug reports clearly and concisely.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 1-2+ years of professional experience with C/C++ development.
• Strong fundamental understanding of C++ programming.
• Demonstrated comfort and willingness to work hands-on with hardware for testing and debugging, including making physical connections.
• Ability to understand existing software architectures for testing purposes (this is not an architecture design role).
• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) or software-in-the-loop (SIL) testing methodologies.
• Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git).
• Experience with embedded systems or real-time operating systems is a plus.
