Our dynamic and forward-thinking work environment empowers talented individuals to design, develop, and deploy technologies that keep cities moving. Join Us as a HIL System Test Engineer (m/f/d) Location: Milan, Lombardy, Italy (On-site) Company: Schindler Group Help Shape the Future of Embedded Systems & Intelligent Testing Schindler is transforming urban mobility through smart, connected solutions that enhance reliability and efficiency. In this role, you will design, develop, and execute automated test scripts on a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test environments to validate embedded controllers of the elevator system. Why Schindler? Shape the Future: Contribute to next-generation embedded systems with advanced testing and validation. Global Impact: Your work will ensure reliability and safety for millions of passengers worldwide. Collaborate with Experts: Join a multidisciplinary team in embedded software, electronics, and systems engineering. Continuous Learning: Explore and implement the latest tools and best practices in HIL, automation, and CI/CD. Your Responsibilities Develop and maintain automated test scripts (in Schindler Test Environment) on various HIL systems (simulating the elevator’s physics like electrics, electronics, mechanics), for validation of embedded systems (elevator controllers). Executedevelopment / qualification test campaigns on multiple HIL configurations, including HW modifications, deep failed case root-cause analysis and sound test reporting. Support early integration of new functions on HIL for accelerated development. Develop and maintain Python-based helper tools (e.g., report generators, batch file generators, XML modifiers, change impact analysis tools, ). Definition and Validation of new model functions . Collect and visualize test data (e.g. web dashboards). Work with event-based communication ( middleware , CAN, TCP/IP, UDP, CAN, SSH, UART ) and corresponding diagnostic tools. What You Bring Experience: 3–5 years software development (structured design) and test design for automated testing of an embedded system, preferably in HIL environments. Strong programming/scripting in Python (for tools, not automation). Familiarity with Git, Bitbucket, Jira, Confluence , XML, and VS Code. Solid background in electrical, mechanical, and embedded systems (IT-only profiles are not sufficient). Ability to read electrical schematics and perform HW modifications. Familiarity with middleware communications and bus systems. Agile mindset and ability to work in lab environments. Disciplined working style and adherence to review process and coding guidelines. Qualifications That Will Strengthen Your Profile Experience in real time modelling (e.g. MATLAB/Simulink) Familiarity with diagnostic tools (Vector or equivalent). Knowledge of Lua , C/C++ Experience with Linux OS ( SSH ) Ready to Elevate Your Career? If you're excited to validate embedded products end-to-end in a high-level development and test environment (HIL), and to develop Python-based tools, we want to hear from you.
