SENIOR HIL TEST ENGINEER - ADAS

We’re looking for a skilled Senior HIL Test Engineer to play a key role in advancing our Assisted & Automated Driving (AAD) capability. You’ll join a collaborative engineering environment where simulation, system integration and real‑world testing come together to deliver the next generation of ADAS technologies.

In this role, you’ll take ownership of test strategy and execution across both virtual and vehicle-based platforms, using state‑of‑the‑art Hardware‑in‑the‑Loop (HIL) environments to validate complex driving features. Working closely with cross‑functional teams, you’ll design test cases, run automated and manual testing, triage issues, and provide the technical evidence needed for engineering sign‑off.

This is an opportunity to work at the heart of JLR’s transformation, helping to ensure our AAD systems are robust, safe, and ready for our future vehicles. If you thrive in a hands‑on, technically challenging environment and want to contribute to meaningful automotive innovation, this role offers the impact and scope you’re looking for.

• Develop test strategies and author test cases aligned with AAD system requirements, following established industry-standard methodologies
• Execute both manual and automated tests across HIL environments reporting accurate verdicts and outcomes
• Perform detailed failure analysis, categorise defects, and raise all software and hardware issues using defined processes
• Manage test reports, evidence storage and documentation to support robust feature, system and sub‑system sign‑off
• Create automated test scripts and executable sequences, including scenario generation within the deployed automation framework
• Validate automatically generated test cases and contribute to the development and improvement of test automation frameworks
• Support HIL rig planning and operational activities, while driving continuous improvement to enhance test efficiency and product quality

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

We’re looking for someone with the right blend of experience, qualifications, and practical skills, including –

• Solid experience in automotive software testing, including requirements‑based testing, design verification and validation, with strong familiarity with Automotive SPICE processes

BENEFITS

This role is rewarding in more ways than one. On top of our core offering, you’ll do extraordinary work with amazing people. In addition, you can expect a wide range of benefits:
