• Lead the integration of next generation real time closed loop simulation models
• Program Leadership - Serve as a lead HWIL electrical engineer coordinating with cross functional teams (Systems, Software, Mechanical, Integration & Test).
• Present technical status, risk assessments, and roadmap recommendations to senior leadership and customer senior officials.
• Influence budget and schedule decisions; provide estimates and resource plans for electrical subsystem development and test.
• Integration & Verification - Direct integration efforts, overseeing debugging, timing alignment, and capability verification in real-time simulations.
• Author and approve comprehensive verification and validation plans; ensure traceability to requirements and generate formal validation reports.
• Customer & Stakeholder Engagement - Act as the technical liaison with government customers for test support, requirement clarification, and issue resolution.
• Continuous Improvement - Identify and implement process improvements, drive adoption of advanced design tools (e.g., high frequency simulation, signal integrity analysis), and contribute to intellectual property generation.

• Experience:
  
  5+ years in electrical design, HWIL integration, or comparable high fidelity test bed environments.
• Education/Training:
  Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related STEM field; additional technical training or certifications in HWIL, RF design, or advanced simulation is preferred.
