Hardware Engineer – HIL Test Objects
About The Position
For one of our clients in Gothenburg, we are looking for a Hardware Engineer to work hands-on with Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test objects within the Connected Experience (ConX) team. In this role, you will build, configure, operate, maintain, and continuously improve HIL rigs used for large-scale verification of connected, infotainment, and software-defined vehicle technologies. You will be a key link between hardware, software, and system design, ensuring test objects are reliable, up-to-date, and representative of real vehicle behavior. This position requires strong hands-on hardware skills, fault-tracing expertise, and the ability to collaborate across disciplines in a fast-paced automotive development environment.
Requirements
- Experience working hands-on with hardware systems (preferably in test, validation, or embedded environments)
- Strong skills in fault tracing, debugging, and root-cause analysis of hardware issues
- Experience with electrical systems, wiring, connectors, ECUs, or test equipment
- Ability to work independently and take ownership of hardware from build to operation
- Good communication skills and ability to collaborate across disciplines
- Fluent in spoken and written English
Nice To Haves
- Experience with Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) or similar test setups
- Understanding of embedded software, firmware updates, and HW/SW integration
- Experience from automotive development or complex system testing
- Fluency in Swedish is considered an advantage.
Responsibilities
- Build, configure, and commission HIL test objects according to electrical and system design
- Own day-to-day operation of HIL rigs, ensuring high availability and stable performance
- Perform hardware bring-up, validation, and troubleshooting during ramp-up and changes
- Investigate and fault-trace hardware issues independently and with software/system engineers
- Analyze failures and fault slip-throughs to identify root causes
- Propose and implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence
- Ensure HIL test objects run correct/up-to-date software, firmware, and configurations
- Support software deployment, updates, and rollback in HIL environments
- Contribute to design changes by feeding back learnings from HIL usage
- Improve robustness, serviceability, and scalability of HIL hardware setups
- Collaborate with system engineers, software developers, test engineers, and suppliers
