** Standard

Job 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).

** Basic Qualifications*
* + 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.

+ Strong knowledge of digital, analog, and mixed‑signal electronics;
Extensive hands‑on experience with electronic test equipment

+ Proven ability to present technical briefings to senior leadership and government customers; produce clear, concise documentation and test reports.

+ Demonstrated success working in multidisciplinary environments and leading small technical teams.

+ Active Secret Security clearance

** Desired Skills*
* +

Experience with real‑time operating systems, MATLAB/Simulink, LabVIEW, and scripting languages (Python/C++) for test automation.

+ Knowledge of Lockheed Martin and industry best practices for HWIL IT&E development.

+ Experience coordinating test support with government customers and managing technical contracts.

+ Experience in RF, high‑speed digital design, real‑time operating systems, and/or high performance computing.

+ Experience designing, integrating and operating real‑time closed‑loop HWIL simulators, FPGA‑based stimulus generators, and high‑speed DAQ systems.

+ Proficiency in Missile 6‑DOF simulation, sensormodel integration, and timingsynchronization techniques.
