• Operate hardware simulators and HIL testbeds in the lab and during field deployments; execute test plans and scenarios safely and repeatably.
• Perform system setup and teardown: rack integration, power-up/power-down procedures, cabling/harnessing, configuration loading, and pre-test checks.
• Monitor simulator health during runs (telemetry, logs, built-in tests); identify anomalies and take corrective action to keep events on track.
• Troubleshoot hardware and integration issues across power, I/O, networking, timing, and sensors/actuators; coordinate fixes with engineering teams.
• Calibrate and verify simulator outputs/inputs using lab instruments (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, DMM, power supplies) and documented procedures.
• Maintain configuration control: versions, wiring diagrams, asset inventory, spares, and change tracking for lab and field baselines.
• Collect, label, and validate test data; produce run notes, quick-look results, and issue summaries for after-action reviews.
• Support logistics for field events: packing, transport, site setup, environmental checks, and compliance with customer/site safety rules.
• Contribute to documentation: operator checklists, test procedures, troubleshooting guides, and training materials.

• BS in Engineering/Engineering Technology/Computer Science (or equivalent practical experience).
• 2 years of experience
• Working knowledge of common interfaces and networks (Ethernet, serial/UART, CAN, GPIO; SPI/I2C a plus).
• Proficiency with Windows and/or Linux; comfortable with command line tools and basic scripting for setup/log collection (Python/Bash helpful).
• Experience troubleshooting with standard lab tools (DMM, oscilloscope, logic analyzer) and interpreting logs/telemetry.
• Comfort with cables/harnesses, connectors, rack equipment, and safe power practices; able to follow detailed procedures and checklists.
• Strong documentation habits and communication skills; able to produce clear run notes and concise issue reports.
• Ability and willingness to travel for field events and work flexible hours during test windows (including early/late shifts or occasional weekends as required).

Nice to have

• Experience with HIL environments, automated test stands, or simulator operation for complex systems.
• RF/EW/sensors experience; familiarity with timing/synchronization, data acquisition, or telemetry systems.
• Hands-on electronics skills: reading schematics, basic rework/repair, harness fabrication, connector pinouts.
• Scripting/automation to streamline operations (Python, Bash, PowerShell) and basic data triage/quick-look plots.
• Experience with environmental and field constraints (mobile racks, generators, shelters, ruggedized equipment).
