HIL Lab
Pilot Systems International
We are a Systems Engineering company using a collaborative approach to assemble and manage teams of domain experts that formulate and deliver vehicular propulsion and mobility related solutions to solve our customer’s complex technical and business challenges.
Pilot is a dSPACE technology partner having over 20 years of experience with model-based design, requirements analysis, controls development, and validation. The Pilot team has helped OEMs, Tier 1 Suppliers, and Tech Companies with Architect, Commission, Launch and Support of HIL programs.
Increasing demands for hardware and software required for comprehensive validation, including ISO26262 and the special skills required for validation is a concern for many customers. To further help our customers meet these demands Pilot is proud to announce the opening of our fully equipped dSPACE SCALEXIO HIL test lab staffed with highly skilled validation engineers. This will allow Pilot to augment our customers internal validation activities or provide independent validation throughout the life cycle of the product.
