• Perform hardware bring-up, validation, and troubleshooting during ramp-up and changes.

Fault Tracing & Debugging

• Investigate and fault-trace hardware issues in HIL environments, both independently and together with software and system engineers.

• Analyze failures and “fault slip-throughs” to identify root causes in hardware, wiring, configuration, or design.

• Propose and implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence.

Software & Configuration Management

• Ensure HIL test objects are running correct and up-to-date software, firmware, and configurations.
