HWIL IT&E Engineer Stf; E4 Grand Prairie, TX

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.

• 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).

• 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

• 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, sensor model integration, and timing synchronization techniques.
