Overview As HWIL Software Integration Engineer, you will lead the software integration of real-time, closed-loop HWIL simulations that fuse missile hardware with high-performance software models. You'll define architecture, drive integration strategy, and coordinate cross-functional teams to meet strict timing and validation standards. You'll engage with government and industry stakeholders to ensure mission-ready real-time capabilities. This role offers impact in advancing missile simulation technologies and requires hands-on leadership and technical excellence.
