1217 - HWIL Engineer

About the role

Monte Sano Research Corporation (MSRC) is a Huntsville-based Small Business specializing in providing full-spectrum defense system engineering, research, design, development, integration, test, evaluation, and planning services to the U.S. Government. As an ESOP company, our employee-owners are personally invested in the success of our customers, our programs, and one another. Our primary focus at MSRC is to provide extraordinary talent to propel the Warfighter, and we seek to hire people who are Elevated (always do the right thing), Exceptional (the very best at what they do), and Enduring (self-disciplined; self-motivated). MSRC is seeking a full-time HWIL Engineer to join a team of engineers and technicians who perform missile guidance integration and testing for Army missile programs.

Responsibilities

• Develop real-time missile simulations for guidance integration HWIL testing.
• Develop real-time interfaces between the simulation and missile guidance section hardware.
• Develop real-time interfaces between the simulation and HWIL facility test equipment (flight motion simulators, target simulators, and GPS simulators).
• Integrate missile subsystem models with the 6DOF simulation including aerodynamics, seeker, inertial sensor, flight code, and actuator models.
• Perform HWIL tests and document test results.
• Perform Monte Carlo simulation analysis and compare with HWIL simulation results.
• Design open-loop and closed-loop HWIL test configurations.
• Develop HWIL test plans and timing diagrams.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering from an ABET-accredited university. Master’s degree is desired.
• Minimum of two (2) years of experience performing 6-DOF simulation and/or HWIL testing.
• Demonstrated experience with C++ programming in a Linux environment.
• Must be a U.S. Citizen.
• Must currently possess and be able to maintain an active security clearance.
