HWIL Electrical Design & Integration Engineer

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.

• 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).
• Mentorship:
  Review work of junior engineers, provide technical guidance, and ensure adherence to best practices at critical project milestones.

This position is in Orlando.

• Experience:
  
  3+ years in electrical design, HWIL integration, or related 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.
• Clearance:
  Active Secret clearance (interim required at start).
• Technical Expertise:
  Advanced knowledge of digital, analog, and RF circuit design; proficient with component selection and high‑speed signal integrity.
• Proven experience with cable design, multi‑layer PCB layout, and integration of complex electrical subsystems.
• Strong hands‑on skills with lab equipment (oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, network analyzer, EMI test gear).
• Leadership & Communication:
  Ability to influence project objectives, present technical briefings to senior personnel, and work autonomously while meeting critical checkpoints.

• Experience leading or mentoring a team of 3‑6 engineers.
• Familiarity with flight‑software integration and verification processes.
• Knowledge of industry standards and Lockheed Martin best practices for HWIL electrical design.
• Experience coordinating with government customers for test support.
• Advanced training in real‑time operating systems, FPGA‑based simulation, or high‑performance computing applied to HWIL.

This position requires a government security clearance; you must be a US Citizen for consideration.
