Form Energy is hiring a HIL Test Engineer to drive the development of the HIL infrastructure and test scripts to simulate the productized battery management to test and validate the BMS firmware before deploying to the field. This is an exciting opportunity to help shape and be part of the growth of a fast-moving company with breakthrough technology and an incredible mission! What you'll do:

Design and build HIL infrastructure that accurately represents our BMS to test and validate the firmware.

Develop comprehensive test cases that cover a wide range of operating conditions, fault scenarios, and functional safety requirements.

Execute HIL tests, collect and analyze data, identify and document issues, and provide clear and concise reports to development teams. This includes automation of regression test execution at different stages of software development cycles and its integration with CI/CD workflow/pipelines.

Collaborate with firmware and electronics engineers to validate the functionality, performance, and safety of power electronics software and control algorithms.

Assist in troubleshooting and debugging issues identified during HIL testing, working closely with hardware and software teams to resolve problems. Triage and debug the failed test cases between HIL-related failures and software bugs.

Maintain clear and detailed documentation of test setups, test cases, test results, and any issues encountered. Manage the traceability of test coverage from requirements to validation at different granularity levels of requirements on the HIL with growing firmware maturity levels. Report on the test coverage improvements to the team regularly.
