HWIL Integration & Test Engineer, Sr - Dallas, TX

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. With3+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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
