HIL Test Engineer

Who we are:

Glydways is reimagining what public transit can be. We believe that mobility is the gateway to opportunity—connecting people to housing, education, employment, commerce, and care. By making transportation more accessible, affordable, and sustainable, we empower communities to thrive and unlock economic and social prosperity.

Our mission is to revolutionize transit with a solution that delivers high capacity, exceptional user experiences, unmatched affordability, and minimal environmental impact.

The Glydways system is a groundbreaking network of carbon-neutral, interconnected transit pathways powered by standardized autonomous vehicles on dedicated roadways. Operating 24/7 with on-demand access, it offers personalized and efficient mobility—without the burden of heavy upfront infrastructure costs or ongoing taxpayer subsidies.

With Glydways, we’re building more than a transportation system; we’re creating a future where everyone, everywhere, has the freedom to move.

Meet the team:

At Glydways, the Test Engineering team is responsible for proving that our integrated autonomous transit system is safe, reliable, and ready for real-world operation.

We work across autonomy, vehicle hardware, embedded software, systems engineering, safety, infrastructure, operations, quality, and deployment teams. Our work spans simulation, software-based test environments, Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing, lab testing, vehicle testing, test-track operations, and project-site commissioning.

This role focuses on Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing and the test environments that allow Glydways to exercise real controllers, software, networks, interfaces, and failure modes before they reach vehicles, the test track, or customer sites.

**Roles Overview:
**

We are seeking a System Test Engineer who can build, operate, and improve Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test capabilities for a complex autonomous transit system.

This role is ideal for someone who is comfortable at the boundary between test engineering, embedded systems, controls, software, hardware interfaces, automation, and data analysis. You will help ensure that system behavior, safety functions, regressions, and edge cases can be tested earlier, more often, and more repeatedly through high-quality HIL environments.

You will develop HIL test procedures, automate regression tests, manage test configurations and data, analyze results, and improve the benches, simulators, harnesses, dashboards, and workflows that make system testing more scalable.

We are open to candidates across a range of experience levels, from strong mid-level engineers through staff-level technical leaders. Scope and title will be calibrated based on experience. More senior candidates will be expected to own larger HIL capabilities, improve test architecture and process, mentor others, and represent test evidence in readiness and release discussions.
