• Integrate the HILs with DevOps tools for automated testing, CI/CD, and data management.
• Implement solutions to streamline processes like deployment, debugging, asset deconfliction, and configuration management.
• Ensure the HILs are up to date with the latest aircraft architecture(s) and make upgrades/configuration changes as needed to support testing needs.
• Research and implement new HIL technologies in advance of forthcoming test needs.
• Support Software-to-Software, Software-to-Hardware, and/or System Integration.
• Work closely with the Systems Engineering team to understand system and software requirements and provide test assets that meet our verification objectives.
