About The Position

The Software Engineer II will work within the Hardware in the Loop (HWIL) Department in Tucson, Arizona. HWIL designs, builds, and integrates flight-simulation testing environments for missiles as a final step before flight testing. The role is part of the Effectors Center and involves collaborating with weapon-system designers and a multidisciplinary team to understand requirements, design solutions, integrate systems, and deploy them to support tactical software development, testing, and delivery. The engineer develops software to control HWIL facilities and works on software design, coding, and integration in a real-time environment. The position also involves determining end-user needs by analyzing system capabilities, resolving issues related to program intent and input/output requirements, ensuring hardware and software standards are met, and designing and implementing build procedures. The engineer may train software developers in configuration-management tools and software-quality standards, including control modeling and model-based design. This is an onsite role. An active and transferable U.S. government security clearance is required before starting; U.S. citizenship is required for eligibility for a clearance.
