Infrastructure Engineer - HIL
Location: Philadelphia, PA
Department: Engineering
In today's dynamic worksites, seamless collaboration between people and machines is essential. FORT's platform ensures safe, secure, and dynamic control that surpasses legacy systems and next-generation AI capabilities.
While autonomous machines offer significant advantages, they also introduce new safety challenges. FORT addresses these concerns by providing solutions such as the Wireless E-Stop, which allows operators to instantly stop any machine from a safe distance, enhancing safety during emergencies.
Additionally, FORT's Safe Remote Control enables operators to manage heavy machinery remotely, reducing the risk of accidents and improving visibility.
By ensuring communications integrity across any network, FORT empowers customers to protect their most valuable assets—people, data, and machines—ensuring they remain safe and secure.
About Us
We are on a mission to accomplish the impossible and build a safer future of autonomous and robotic machines. We are looking for a growth-minded and dynamic Senior System Integration and Test Engineer who embodies our values of excellence, ownership, collaboration, and effective communication.
Role Overview
We are seeking a Senior Engineer focused on building and scaling HIL test infrastructure and automation platforms. This role goes beyond test execution — you will design multi-bench systems, CI/CD-driven workflows, and reliable lab infrastructure to enable efficient, repeatable validation of Fort products.
Responsibilities
- Design and scale Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) benches for system and device-level validation
- Build infrastructure for multi-bench orchestration (scheduling, parallel execution, resource management)
- Build and manage DevOps workflows for test infrastructure, including pipeline automation, environment provisioning, and artifact management.
- Design and integrate CI/CD pipelines for hardware-based testing
- Build containerized (like Docker) environments for reproducible test execution
- Develop systems to control hardware programmatically (power, connectivity, devices)
- Improve lab infrastructure, fixtures, and test environments for scalability and reliability
- Build logging, metrics, and observability systems for debugging and traceability
- Collaborate with firmware, cloud, and hardware teams to resolve system-level issues
- Mentor engineers and drive best practices for scalable test infrastructure
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline preferred
- 5+ years of experience in embedded systems, robotics, or hardware-software systems
- Strong experience with HIL/SIL systems or test infrastructure
- Proficiency in Python for automation/framework development
- Experience designing automation systems at scale (multi-device, multi-environment, or distributed systems)
- Strong experience with CI/CD systems (GitLab, Jenkins, or similar), including pipeline design and automation workflows
- Experience with containerization technologies (Docker) and building reproducible development and test environments
- Familiarity with DevOps practices and scalable system design
- Experience with embedded communication protocols (Ethernet, CAN, BLE, Wi-Fi)
- Strong debugging skills across hardware and software systems
- Ability to design modular, maintainable systems and work cross-functionally
Preferred
- Experience with distributed systems or orchestration platforms
- Experience with cloud/logging tools (Azure, Grafana, etc.)
- Knowledge of safety standards (IEC 61508, ISO 26262)
- Hands-on hardware/fixture design experience
- Interest in applying AI/ML in daily engineering workflows
