Electrical Engineer – Embedded Programming (Hardware Simulators / HIL Testbeds)

We’re seeking an Electrical Engineer with strong embedded programming skills to design, build, and maintain hardware simulators and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testbeds used to validate real-world systems before they reach the lab, range, or field.

Requirements

• Design and integrate hardware simulators that replicate real equipment behavior in a lab environment.
• Develop embedded software/firmware to control simulator hardware, generate stimuli, capture telemetry, and implement real-time behaviors.
• Build and maintain HIL testbeds: wiring, configuration management, automated bring-up, calibration, and test execution workflows.
• Create test utilities and automation (Python/C/C++ preferred) to run scenarios, log data, generate reports, and support regression testing for hardware.
• Design interface circuitry and harnessing for common buses and I/O (e.g., SPI/I2C/UART/CAN, Ethernet, GPIO, ADC/DAC, PWM, discretes).
• Use lab instrumentation (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, spectrum analyzer) to debug timing, signal integrity, and protocol-level issues.
• Author clear engineering artifacts: schematics, interface control docs, test procedures, software readmes, and troubleshooting guides.
• Collaborate with systems, software, and test teams to translate requirements into simulator capabilities and verification coverage.

Benefits

• Excellent insurance coverage
• 401(k) match
• Generous PTO
• Health and wellness incentives
• Tuition and certification reimbursement
• Countless opportunities to give back to the community through i3 Cares
