Decide if an interface is ready for HIL when three sources disagree

You’re the software engineer. Your team is in the room. Printed Oct 12, 2026.

HIL time is scarce, but interface readiness is assembled from disconnected evidence.

Program managers need an early readiness call, while test engineers need evidence that survives technical review.

Who you’d be doing this for

“I need to know what is actually ready before I burn another HIL slot.”

Arnaud Stewart · Autonomy Program Manager

Coordinates vehicle vendors, test engineers, and autonomy teams before integration milestones.

What is at stake

HIL reservations are being made from separate SIL results, hardware notes, and vendor inputs. You must weigh an early common signal against the evidence needed for engineers to trust it.

Why it isn’t already fixed

Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.

  • early HIL decisions vs. inspectable technical evidence
  • shared readiness criteria vs. vehicle-specific constraints
  • program visibility vs. backend durability
  • fast pilot scope vs. reusable integration infrastructure

This is the setup. The work is inside.

Running it puts you in the room: the full situation and its constraints, stakeholders who push back in their own words, and the decisions that are yours to make. What you produce becomes a Day One Plan — work you can show someone instead of describing.
