Core Responsibilities

• Define and evolve the IT&E architecture for HWIL test-beds, establishing standards for real-time simulation, stimulus generation, data acquisition, and timing synchronization.

• Influence budget and schedule decisions; provide estimates and resource plans for IT&E subsystem development and test.

• Design, develop, and validate stimulation and measurement solutions (signal generators, DAQ, FPGA-based stimulators, high-speed I/O).

• Direct integration efforts, oversee debugging, timing alignment, and capability verification in real-time simulations.

• Translate mission-level test objectives into HWIL test cases and back-log items.

• Supervise and mentor junior engineers and analysts, conduct technical reviews, and facilitate knowledge-sharing sessions.

• Promote best-practice documentation and training on IT&E tools and processes.

• Identify and implement process, tool, and automation enhancements to increase simulation fidelity, test efficiency, and data-driven decision making.

• Drive adoption of advanced design tools (signal-integrity analysis, high-frequency simulation, automated test generation).

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Computer, Systems Engineering, or related STEM field.
• 5+ years of experience in HWIL integration, IT&E, real - time simulation, or comparable high - fidelity test - bed environments.
