Description:

The HWIL Engineer serves as a senior engineer, providing comprehensive expertise in the design, development, and implementation of real‑time, closed‑loop HWIL capabilities across multiple programs. With 3+ years of relevant experience, you will work under general direction, influence project objectives, and engage senior personnel on critical technical matters while independently delivering practical solutions to complex problems.

• What You Will Be Doing

• Lead HWIL Integration: Oversee design, development, and implementation of real‑time, closed‑loop HWIL simulations (including Missile 6‑DOF models) for air vehicle software, firmware, and hardware.

• System Testing & Validation: Integrate stimulation equipment, conduct verification & validation of systems and subsystems, and troubleshoot hardware/software failures using lab equipment (signal generators, DAQ, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers).

• Debug & Diagnose: Resolve complex issues related to software, hardware, connectors, timing, and overall design as a key member of the integration team.

• Program Coordination: Support program meetings, provide clear project status updates, and interface with multi‑disciplinary teams (systems, software, mechanical, test).

• Customer & Requirement Management: Interpret customer needs, develop technical solutions, build product backlogs, and deliver constructive technical feedback.

• Technical Influence: Contribute to assignment objectives, influence HWIL strategy, and engage senior leadership on significant technical matters.

• Mentorship: Guide junior engineers and analysts, reviewing work at critical points and sharing best practices.
  Basic Qualifications:

• Experience: 3 + years in HWIL integration, real‑time simulation, or related test bed environments.

• Education/Training: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Computer, Aerospace, Engineering Management, or a related STEM discipline; advanced technical training in HWIL or simulation is a plus.

• Clearance: Ability to obtain and maintain an Active Secret clearance (interim required at start).

• Strong knowledge of digital, analog, and mixed signal electronics.

• Hands‑on experience with HWIL test equipment and real‑time closed‑loop simulators.

• Proficiency in Missile 6‑DOF simulation design and analysis.

• Ability to design, develop, and test air vehicle software/firmware/hardware and integrate stimulation equipment.

• Team & Communication: Proven ability to work with multi‑disciplinary teams, present technical briefings, and produce clear documentation.
  Desired Skills:

• Experience leading or mentoring a small team of engineers.

• Familiarity with flight software integration and verification processes.

• Knowledge of industry and company best practices for HWIL test bed development.

• Experience coordinating with government customers for test support.

• Advanced training in real‑time operating systems, FPGA‑based simulation, or high performance computing for HWIL workloads.
