Role summary
The Principal HW/SW Integration Engineer Lead will implement internal data architecture and development activities for the holistic vehicle level, ensuring end-to-end data and interface compatibility. This role involves defining and maintaining internal messages and data flow, supporting external message definitions, and collaborating with FSW, FPGA, and HW teams to drive closure of integration items and system-level gaps. The engineer will also assist with data architecture updates during hardware testing and drive closure of HW/SW integration issues from a design perspective through testing and initial flight. Experience with ICDs/IDDs, systems engineering, and integration/testing is required, along with an active Secret Clearance.
Main Responsibilities:
- Implement internal data architecture and development activities at the holistic vehicle level
- Ensure end-to-end data and interface compatibility throughout the system inclusive of external interfaces
- Define and maintain internal messages and data flow through the missile

- Collaborate with FSW, FPGA, and HW teams to drive closure of data architecture and HW/SW integration items
- Support sequence diagram development with architecture team
- Collaborate with FSW, FPGA, and HW teams develop IEIDDs, resolve TBxs, and address system-level gaps
- Assist with any data architecture updates found during hardware testing phases
- Drive closure of HW/SW integration issues from the design perspective through testing and initial flight as they are identified by the team
- Support relevant interface documentation reviews including internal, SDRL, and CDRL
- Support HW/SW configuration definition, conops, and parameter management
Basic Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in STEM discipline or related experience.
