HIL Designer - Embedded by Quokka

We’re really happy you found your way to Embedded by Quokka – whether it was through a colleague, a project you’ve worked on, or simply your curiosity about where HIL development is heading next.
At Quokka, we believe that great technology starts with great people. People who are curious. People who care. People who enjoy solving complex challenges together – and who like working close to the customer to make real impact.
Now we’re looking for a HIL Designer to join our team and help shape the future of test environments for our clients.

About the role
This position is an internal role, where you will take the lead in developing and driving Quokka’s HIL capabilities forward. You’ll be the one shaping our approach, building structures, and supporting both colleagues and customers with your expertise.
To succeed in this role, you need to be comfortable communicating in both Swedish and English, as you’ll collaborate with customers, suppliers, and internal teams.

Who we’re looking for
You have experience designing, developing, or maintaining Hardware‑in‑the‑Loop systems, and you enjoy working hands‑on with both hardware and software. You’re comfortable meeting customers, understanding their needs, and turning those needs into smart, reliable HIL solutions.
You like being the person who connects the dots — between requirements, architecture, test needs, and real‑world system behavior.
We think you’ll thrive if you have experience with:

Designing or developing HIL systems (dSPACE, Vector, NI, or similar)


Hardware integration, signal interfaces, I/O, and test rigs


Test automation or scripting (Python, CAPL, or similar)


Reading and understanding embedded software behavior


Debugging, troubleshooting, and system‑level thinking


Communication protocols such as CAN, LIN, SPI, I2C, UART


Bonus points for experience with:

Customer‑facing roles or technical coordination


Automotive or safety‑critical systems


Requirements handling and traceability


Continuous integration or test automation pipelines


And if you enjoy explaining complex things in a simple way — both to customers and colleagues — you’ll fit right in.
A valid driver’s license (B) is also required, as some customer visits and on‑site work will be part of the role.

Your role
As a HIL Designer at Quokka, you will:

Work closely with customers to understand their systems and test needs


Design and develop HIL solutions that support reliable, efficient testing


Integrate hardware, software, and tools into complete test environments


Troubleshoot issues and guide teams toward root causes


Collaborate with developers, testers, and system engineers


Help shape long‑term test strategies and improvements


You’ll be part of a team that values openness, curiosity, and a bit of fun along the way.

Who we are
At Quokka, we bring together specialists across embedded systems, digital solutions, and electrification to help our clients build products that truly matter. Our values — Care, Joy, Curiosity, Innovation — guide how we work with each other and with our customers.
We believe in people first, technology second. Because when the right people work together, great things happen.
