Experienced Emulation Engineer | General Dynamics

Job description

Responsibilities for this Position Experienced Emulation Engineer US-CT-Groton Job ID: 2026-18623 Type: Full-Time # of Openings: 2 Category: Engineering EB Groton Shipyard Overview Brief Description: Department 489 is part of the Integrated Power Systems (IPS) Directorate which is responsible for developing the COLUMBIA Class (CLB) state-of-the-art electric drive propulsion system. D489 is responsible for the development and construction support of the electric drive system (drives, controls, and power distribution).

General Description

In support of electric drive design efforts, D489 has an Emulation Lab that manages the computer systems which are used to aid testing of components of the electric drive propulsion system. The Emulation Lab hardware runs in real-time to mimic propulsion system performance. The real-time control logic uses MATLAB/Simulink models to emulate the propulsion system components that are not physically present at the test or to emulate real world environment conditions for testing purposes.

The Emulation Lab also has support computer systems used developing, upgrading and testing of the real time systems.

The Role

This role involves working cooperatively with customers and support departments while being responsible for execution and oversight of the Emulation computer systems. In lab testing and troubleshooting of the RTPE and LTE systems to verify proper operation before deployment to test locations. Work on computer systems is mostly in a lab environment though sometimes in an industrial setting. Integration and test of propulsion system model upgrades running in real-time.

Support hardware (HW) and software (SW) identification, selection and procurement efforts in response to component obsolescence and general upgrades. Integration, troubleshooting and test of upgraded HW & SW. Develop and maintain Emulation Lab design/upgrade documentation, requirements, and test procedures.

Responsibilities

Working with Linux OS, Windows OS. Woking and debugging Real Time applications and systems. Working with Matlab scripting and modeling, Understand, modify and troubleshoot emulated systems. Understand, develop, modify and troubleshoot low-level hand code and drivers. Experience with MS products including Word, Excel, Project and PowerPoint.
