Job Description

The HWIL Electrical Design & Integration Engineer (E4) provides senior level technical leadership for the end to end electrical architecture, integration, and verification of real time, closed loop Hardware in the Loop (HWIL) capabilities. With 5 + years of relevant experience, the incumbent operates with technical authority, defines strategy, and influences program wide decisions while representing Lockheed Martin to senior government and industry stakeholders.

Core Responsibilities

Technical Architecture & Strategy - Define and evolve the electrical architecture for HWIL test beds, establishing standards for cable harnesses, PCBs, high speed signaling, and RF target generation simulators.
Lead the integration of next generation real time closed loop simulation models
Program Leadership - Serve as a lead HWIL electrical engineer coordinating with cross functional teams (Systems, Software, Mechanical, Integration & Test).
Present technical status, risk assessments, and roadmap recommendations to senior leadership and customer senior officials.
Influence budget and schedule decisions; provide estimates and resource plans for electrical subsystem development and test.
Integration & Verification - Direct integration efforts, overseeing debugging, timing alignment, and capability verification in real-time simulations.
Author and approve comprehensive verification and validation plans; ensure traceability to requirements and generate formal validation reports.
Customer & Stakeholder Engagement - Act as the technical liaison with government customers for test support, requirement clarification, and issue resolution.
Continuous Improvement - Identify and implement process improvements, drive adoption of advanced design tools (e.g., high frequency simulation, signal integrity analysis), and contribute to intellectual property generation.
