As a Senior Embedded Systems & Hardware-in-the-Loop Engineer, you will: • Lead multi-disciplinary teams in architecting and developing complete embedded systems from concept through deployment • Design custom electronics including PCB layouts, FPGA firmware (VHDL/Verilog), and real-time C++ embedded software • Develop and integrate real-time HWIL test systems for advanced missile seekers, optical sensors, and tracking systems • Design embedded systems around FPGA MPSoC platforms (Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+) including carrier boards, PetaLinux OS, drivers, and applications • Implement real-time video/image processing pipelines using CUDA, OpenCV, GStreamer, and custom FPGA IP cores • Interface with advanced sensors (IR/visible cameras, LiDAR, fast steering mirrors, scene projectors) and develop MATLAB/Python analysis tools • Support field testing, lead design reviews (PDR, CDR), and provide technical leadership and mentoring. You'll go above and beyond our minimum requirements if you have: • An MS degree with 10+ years of experience leading technical teams through complete system development lifecycles • GPU programming experience (CUDA/OpenCL), MPSoC architecture expertise (Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+), or HWIL scene generation system development • Background in 6-DOF simulation, weapon systems (missiles, seekers, interceptors), or RTOS experience (FreeRTOS, VxWorks, RedHat) • Image compression implementation (JPEG2000, HTJ2K, H.264, H.265) or Python proficiency for test automation • Flight electronics design experience, precision timing systems (IRIG-B, GPS, PTP), or optical systems knowledge • Experience supporting hypersonic programs or high-speed flight test campaigns • Active Top Secret and SCI clearance.
