Candidates must typically possess a STEM Bachelor's Degree with 8+ years of experience, or a Master's degree with 7+ years of experience. We are seeking an innovative, highly technical Level 5 Simulation Integration Engineer to lead the design, development, and validation of an integrated system level simulation. Including hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) and software-in-the-loop (SWIL) test environments. In this role, you will join a fast paced system level simulation team, leading cross-functional integration activities, ensure simulation fidelity, and act as the principal bridge between software, hardware, and systems engineering teams., * Simulation Architecture: Architect, build, and maintain scalable virtual environments, digital twins, and simulation frameworks. * Integration & Verification: Lead subsystem's (PSOC & Reentry), hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) and software-in-the-loop (SWIL) simulation integration into the system level simulation. Validate simulation models against real-world hardware behavior and testing data. * Identify, pursue, and implement 1LMx solutions for simulation, analysis, and MBSE across the FBM program * Cross-Functional Leadership: Serve as a technical authority, guiding junior and mid-level engineers in the integration and testing processes. * Tool Development: Develop and deploy custom scripts, APIs, and plugins to connect domain models, allowing for seamless data exchange between simulation and SCADA/control systems. * Technical Documentation: Author master test plans, system requirements, and interface control documents ensuring alignment with industry and government guidelines. * Root Cause Analysis: Identify and troubleshoot system anomalies. Trace discrepancies to either simulation artifacts or hardware integration flaws and implement corrective actions., Performs technical planning, system integration, verification and validation, cost and risk, and supportability and effectiveness analyses for total systems. Analyses are performed at all levels of total system product to include: concept, design, fabrication, test, installation, operation, maintenance and disposal. Ensures the logical and systematic conversion of customer or product requirements into total systems solutions that acknowledge technical, schedule, and cost constraints. Performs functional analysis, timeline analysis, detail trade studies, requirements allocation and interface definition studies to translate customer requirements into hardware and software specifications. ## Related Videos - [Building a hypercar from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/607-building-a-hypercar-from-scratch) - [Strange New Worlds: shaping the future of the digital age](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/677-strange-new-worlds-shaping-the-future-of-the-digital-age) - [The Gashlycrumb Tinies of AI Networking You Must Know (or Languish!)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2067-the-gashlycrumb-tinies-of-ai-networking-you-must-know-or-languish) - [JavaScript?
