Description

Automation Framework Development: Design and maintain Python-based libraries and scripts to automate the creation of dSPACE project structures, I/O mapping, and hardware configurations. Model Generation: Develop MATLAB/Simulink scripts to programmatically modify, parameterize, and build simulation models for deployment to dSPACE SCALEXIO platforms. API Integration: Utilize dSPACE APIs (such as the ConfigurationDesk API, ControlDesk Automation API, and XIL API) to bridge the gap between requirements, model files, and the physical HIL hardware. Toolchain Optimization: Streamline the build pipeline to reduce the time from "Simulink Model" to "HIL-Ready Binary," ensuring consistent and repeatable builds. Troubleshooting: Debug complex issues occurring at the interface of the automation scripts, the dSPACE software stack, and the real-time hardware. Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field. 3+ years of experience in HIL development, specifically focused on tools and automation rather than manual test execution. Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field. A "software-first" approach to hardware problems.
