Validation & Test Engineer

Insight Global is looking for a Test & Validation Engineer to join their team. This Engineer will be responsible for

-Building & operating HIL rigs: configure Simulink Real-Time on Speedgoat, map I/O harness, and manage deterministic scheduling; optimize solver settings for ~1 ms steps.

-Modeling the plants create/maintain Simulink/Simscape Electrical models for PCS/inverter, filters/transformer, battery/BMS; validate model fidelity against bench/site data.
-HIL simulations: connect Schneider M580 PLC to Speedgoat via Modbus TCP; verify commands, telemetry, time sync, alarms/events, and fail-safe sequences end-to-end.
-Author requirement-based tests: derive MiL/SiL/HIL cases for power/VAR control, ramp-rate, freq/volt response, SoC management, thermal derates, ride-through, startup/shutdown, and fault scenarios.
-Automate regression: implement scripted test suites with pass/fail metrics, waveform capture, and auto-reports; integrate with Git and CI workflows.
-Defect lifecycle: analyze logs, isolate root causes across controller ↔ PLC ↔ plant model, file issues, verify fixes, and maintain full traceability (requirement → test → result).
-Rig reliability & safety: maintain configs/calibrations/harnesses, implement health checks, and observe lab.
