Capabilities

Key Capabilities

Full X-in-the-Loop testing spectrum with advanced tooling and protocol expertise

Model-in-the-Loop (MIL)

Early-stage model validation using Simulink/Stateflow models to verify algorithm behavior before code generation.

Software-in-the-Loop (SIL)

Test auto-generated or hand-written code against plant models in a PC-based simulation environment.

Processor-in-the-Loop (PIL)

Validate compiled code on target microcontrollers to verify real-time behavior and fixed-point arithmetic.

Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL)

Real-time simulation with physical ECUs connected to plant models, validating complete system behavior under realistic conditions.

Vector CANoe / CANalyzer

Expert-level proficiency with Vector tool chain for simulation, analysis, diagnostics, and test automation.

CAN / FlexRay / Ethernet / ADIO

Protocol-level testing, monitoring, and simulation across all major automotive communication protocols.
