* Real-time Linux and RTOS platforms engineered for deterministic, time-critical workloads
* X-in-the-Loop simulation: hardware-in-the-loop, man-in-the-loop, and AI-in-the-loop
* Custom engineered systems for aerospace and defense programs, from concept through fielded delivery
* High-speed data acquisition and signal conditioning
* High-performance visual systems and process control
* Low-latency signal processing

Concurrent Real-Time is currently seeking a full-time Manager to lead our Simulation Workbench (SimWB) team!
** Must be a US citizen. Unable to hire dual citizens, green card holders, or visa holders for this position.*
* ** About the Role
** We are looking for a hands-on engineering leader to run our Simulation Workbench team. SimWB is our real-time hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform, used by customers in automotive, aerospace, and defense to test control systems against real hardware. This is a working manager role on a small, close-knit team: you will set direction, own delivery, and grow the group, while still contributing to the product as an engineer.

You will also own product direction for SimWB, deciding what gets built and why, working alongside the team’s Principal Engineer on architecture and technical strategy. You will work closely with Applications Engineering, Support, and Manufacturing, and you will be close enough to the code to make sound engineering trade-offs yourself.  
** What You’ll Do
*** Lead the SimWB engineering team, setting priorities, tracking status, and removing obstacles so the team delivers predictably
* Stay hands-on, contributing directly to design, code, and technical problem solving alongside the team
* Own on-time shipment of SimWB systems, working with Manufacturing to ensure systems ship complete, tested, and on schedule
* Own the SimWB release process, including planning, build, validation, packaging, and communication of release content to stakeholders
* Oversee SimWB licensing, including license generation, demo licenses, and renewals
* Coordinate with the Support and Applications Engineering teams so customer issues are resolved in a timely manner and product knowledge is shared across groups
* Recruit, hire, onboard, and develop engineers, and build depth so critical knowledge is held by the team rather than by individuals
* Own the SimWB roadmap and product direction, deciding with the team’s Principal Engineer which new features and functions to pursue, and translating customer and market needs into work the team can credibly deliver
* Identify and evaluate emerging technologies that can strengthen the product and the way the team works, for example the integration of AI into the SimWB product and into the design…
