To strengthen our vibrant H2 Industry Team, we are currently looking for a highly motivated, experienced and dynamic System Controls Test Engineer.
What are we looking for?
As a System Controls Test Engineer, you will be at the heart of validating and optimising control systems for advanced vehicles and vessels. You'll work hands-on with hardware and software to ensure seamless integration, robust performance, and safety compliance. Your work will directly support the deployment of hydrogen-powered systems and other cutting-edge technologies.
Key Responsibilities
* Test planning & execution: Develop and execute test plans for control systems, including PLCs, HMIs, sensors, actuators, and embedded controllers.
* Design, develop, and execute test scenarios using Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) rigs to validate embedded software functionality. Integrate software components with HIL systems to simulate real-world conditions and verify system behaviour. Analyse HIL test data to identify performance bottlenecks, anomalies, and edge-case failures.
* System integration: Support integration of mechanical, electrical, and software components into complete systems for bench testing and commissioning.
* Troubleshooting & debugging: Identify and resolve control system issues during development, testing, and field deployment.
* Data acquisition & analysis: Collect and analyse performance data to validate system behaviour and optimise control strategies.
* Safety & compliance: Participate in safety studies and ensure control systems meet functional safety standards and regulatory requirements.
* Documentation: Maintain detailed records of test procedures, results, and system configurations.
* Collaboration: Work closely with design engineers, software developers, and external partners to ensure system functionality and reliability.
What do you bring?
* Formal education: you hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Automation, Mechatronics, or related field;
* You have at least 3 years of experience in control system testing, preferably in automotive, marine, or industrial automation;
* Languages: you are proficient in English and preferably Dutch;
* Strong understanding of embedded systems, communication protocols (e.g., CAN, LIN, Ethernet), and real-time operating systems;
* Proficiency with PLC programming (e.g., Siemens, Beckhoff), HMI development, and control system architecture;
* Familiarity with communication protocols (CAN, Modbus, Ethernet/IP) and data logging tools;
* Strong analytical and problem-solving skills;
* Willingness to travel for testing and commissioning activities.
