Key skills for this role
The Advance Lead Engineer - Controls Simulation will lead the development and validation of Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation solutions for locomotive control systems. This role involves developing physics-based plant models for traction, auxiliary power, engine, train control, and trip optimizer functions using MATLAB/Simulink, Simscape, and Stateflow, supporting real-time code generation and deployment, executing verification and validation activities, and analysing test results. The role also includes supporting HIL simulator integration, maintenance, and continuous improvement in collaboration with cross-functional engineering teams.
Functional Responsibility:
Lead the development, integration, and validation of Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation solutions for control system verification and validation.
Collaborate with systems, controls, and subsystem teams to define simulation requirements and develop physics-based plant models using MATLAB/Simulink, Simscape, and Stateflow.
Develop and maintain MIL/SIL workflows, test harnesses, and automated verification environments.
Generate and integrate real-time code using auto-code generation tools and support deployment on HIL platforms.
Develop and maintain MATLAB and Python automation scripts for testing, data analysis, and process improvement.
Configure, integrate, and support HIL platforms such as Concurrent Real-Time, OPAL-RT, and NI PXI.
Support system integration, debugging, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis in real-time test environments.
Manage simulation models, software assets, and test artifacts using Git/GitLab configuration management practices.
Participate in model, code, and design reviews, ensuring compliance with engineering standards and project requirements.
Prepare technical documentation, test reports, and engineering deliverables, and communicate project status, risks, and key technical updates to stakeholders.
