Our HWIL team conducts the most complete tests of missiles (other than actual firing), and we design complex, real-time simulations that surround real missile hardware. This unique approach allows us to "fire missiles indoors" and test the performance of our systems flawlessly.
* Understand the range of missile sensors and integrate them with the real-time HWIL simulation
* Test and modify target generation equipment
* Adapt to new engineering situations and abstract detail to understand the simulation and missile's behaviour
If you have a proven track record in engineering and are ready to take on exciting challenges in the field of sensor integration, we want to hear from you.
What we're looking for from you:
A broad engineering experience with deeper expertise in some (not necessarily all) of the following skill areas:
* Interface debugging and system integration
* Radio Frequency or Infra-red design or testing
* Inertial sensor design or testing
* Use of microcontrollers (e.g., Raspberry Pi)
