• Develop/support test software using modern languages (Python, C/C++, LabVIEW) within a CI/CD framework (lower in priority for this job, but ideal to have for future growth and higher utility).
• Design and integrate electrical assemblies including cables and harnesses for test systems.
• Support test systems that simulate real-world conditions for avionics components.
• Collaborate with electrical, software, and mechanical engineers to optimize product performance.
• Document test requirements, procedures, and results using digital engineering tools.
• Apply "test-like-you-fly" methodologies to ensure products meet mission requirements.
• Troubleshoot hardware/software issues and provide technical recommendations.
• Participate in review boards and technical interchange meetings with customers and suppliers.

Basic Hiring Criteria:

• Bachelor's degree.

• GIT.
• Agile.

Desired Qualifications:

• Master's degree in a related engineering field.
• Knowledge of programming languages such as Python, C/C++, or LabVIEW (lower in priority for this role as noted above).
• Familiarity with test automation and CI/CD practices (lower in priority for this role as noted above).
• Experience with version control systems (Git) and Agile development methods (lower in priority for this role as noted above).
• Experience with PCB design and troubleshooting, including embedded processor, microcontroller, or FPGA-based designs.
• Experience with RF testing and calibration.
• Experience in aerospace or defense industry test environments.
• Knowledge of environmental testing procedures.
• Familiarity with databases for test data collection.
• Experience with digital engineering tools (JIRA, Confluence, GitLab).
• Understanding of statistical analysis for test validation.
• Experience with test systems for production environments.
• Familiarity with IPC/J-STD standards (J-STD-001, IPC-A-600/610/620) for electronic assembly.
• Familiarity with CAD tools such as SolidWorks, Creo, Altium, or KiCad.
• Familiarity with military standards.
• Prior DoD program experience.
