## Description

The HWIL IT&E Engineer (E4) provides senior-level technical leadership for the design, development, and implementation of real-time, closed-loop Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) test-bed capabilities that focus on integrated test and evaluation (IT&E) of air-vehicle software, firmware, and hardware. With 5+ years of relevant experience, you will operate with limited direction, set technical strategy, and influence program-wide decisions while serving as the primary technical liaison to senior government and industry stakeholders.

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).
