HIL Engineer – Inverters

At Tata Technologies we make product development dreams a reality by designing, engineering and validating the products of tomorrow for the world’s leading manufacturers. Due to our continued growth we are now recruiting for a HIL Engineer -Invertors to be based at our office/ our customer’s site in Gaydon

Our Embedded Systems Solutions department (ESS) encompasses all activities outlined under the Automotive SPICE (ASPICE) process framework, including systems engineering, software engineering, coding, and all levels of functional testing. Beyond core development, ESS also integrates critical supporting processes such as project management, risk assessment, functional safety, and cybersecurity, ensuring compliance with ASPICE standards and delivering reliable, secure, and high-quality embedded systems & solutions.

The Role:

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) Engineer, with strong proficiency in dSPACE Scalexio systems and software, to lead the simulation-based testing and validation of automotive inverter systems. This role plays a pivotal part in verifying the performance, functionality, and safety of high-voltage power electronics through closed-loop, automated testing in both R&D and pre-production contexts.

Area of Responsibility  

• Design, configure, and maintain dSPACE Scalexio HIL test benches for inverter platforms.


• Develop and integrate plant models, signal conditioning, and simulation environments tailored to inverter control systems.


• Interface with ECUs and manage software/hardware integration for closed-loop simulation workflows.

• Author and maintain test cases covering functional, safety-critical, fault injection, and boundary conditions.


• Develop automated test sequences and scripts using AutomationDesk, ControlDesk, Python, or MATLAB/Simulink.


• Ensure alignment of test coverage with system requirements, safety goals, and validation strategies.


• Execute regression testing, analyze anomalies, and collaborate in root cause investigations with system teams.

• Work cross-functionally with software, controls, systems, and safety engineers to ensure test completeness and traceability.


• Support verification of inverter control algorithms, ASIL-related diagnostics, and performance optimization.


• Liaise with OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to meet program milestones, compliance benchmarks, and reporting deliverables.

Knowledge / Experience

 Essential

• Experience in HIL validation, with hands-on expertise in dSPACE Scalexio systems including setup, configuration, and operation.


• In-depth experience in inverter testing on HIL platforms, including control behavior, safety diagnostics, and fault response validation.


• Strong knowledge of ISO 26262, ASPICE, and automotive testing standards.

 Preferred Skills

• Familiarity with EV/HEV architectures, inverter control strategies (e.g., FOC, current control), and high-voltage safety practices.


• Working knowledge of communication protocols such as CAN, LIN, FlexRay, and diagnostic frameworks (UDS, ODX).


• Experience with model-based design tools (Simulink, TargetLink) and test traceability systems (e.g., Polarion, PTC Integrity).


• Strong skills in data analysis, test documentation, and fault analysis reporting.


• Ability to collaborate in fast-paced, agile, and globally distributed engineering teams.
