Job Description
The HWIL Electrical Design & Integration Engineer serves as a senior engineer responsible for the end-to-end electrical design, integration, and verification of real-time, closed-loop HWIL capabilities. With 3 + years of relevant experience, the engineer works under general direction, leads technical efforts, influences project objectives, and engages senior leadership on critical matters.
What You Will Be Doing
• Lead Electrical Design: Develop detailed cable harnesses, complex PCB layouts, and component integration strategies for multiple HWIL programs.
• Simulation & Modeling: Support HWIL real-time closed-loop simulation (including Missile 6-DOF).
• Advanced Troubleshooting: Diagnose and resolve hardware failures, EMI/EMC issues, timing mismatches, and connector problems using lab equipment.
• Integration Leadership: Guide the integration team in debugging electrical subsystems, ensuring seamless incorporation of stimulation equipment into the HWIL facility.
• Verification & Validation: Define test plans, execute verification activities, and produce comprehensive validation reports for electrical systems and subsystems.
• Program Coordination: Present technical status to senior leadership, support program meetings, and maintain clear communication across multi-disciplinary teams (systems, software, mechanical).
