• Develop Modeling/Framework/Control Desk Panels (multiple iterations as driven by programs milestones).
• Develop HIL Documentation preparation (IO’s, Signal list, wiring layout, MTB/LTB design, etc.)  
• Develop Engineering work related to management of HIL Vehicle Programs as directed and guided by Stellantis EEVI/VTE EE HIL Integration Manager. 
• Manage HIL Lab Vehicle Fabrication – Engineering support and interface with the EE lab and/or External suppliers to deliver lab vehicle/s as planned.  
• Manage all the HILs updates to support all planned validations loops including but not limited to model, communication databases, hardware, complexity, variants verifications, etc.  
• Manage HIL setups to test all vehicle configuration/permutations (i.e. low/high line option/contents).  
• Manage lab Vehicle HIL Integrations (Vehicle parts, PC setup, licenses, etc.).  
• Lead and Perform Lab Vehicle and HIL Simulation open/closed loop commissioning  
• Lead Test property Functional Test Checkouts and Control Desk Functional Checkout prior to delivery of HILs. 
• Lead Propulsion Systems HIL integration & Commissioning  
• Follow all Stellantis safety protocol related to office, building and other personnel ethical guidelines.   
• Manage and resolve all issues (Pre & Post commissioning) related to EE HIL test property. 
• Provide technical support to HIL validation team and resolve all issue related to EE HIL test property.   
• Vehicle System Documentation Reviews (Vehicle Functions, Hardware Interface, network communications databases, etc. - Multiple iterations as driven by programs milestones, early loop, X0, X1, X2, etc.) 
• Weekly programs status report for the program including related KPIs (i.e. on-time delivery, issue tracking, etc.)  

• Bachelor of Science degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related Engineering degree from an accredited university
