Test Engineer

Looking for an opportunity to make an impact

• Take a customer-designed physical DUT (electrical mechanical or electromechanical) and determine what must be proven about it
• Connect and configure bench instrumentation (oscilloscopes spectrum/power analyzers signal/waveform generators NI hardware multimeters power supplies) to the DUT
• Write custom test automation and analysis software in Python and/or LabVIEW to control the test setup and interpret results
• Develop hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test environments and simulation to validate the DUT under realistic conditions
• Build operator-facing GUIs so engineers or technicians can run the test
• Establish and validate repeatable calibrated NIST-traceable test data
• Maintain and improve existing automated test systems fixtures and instrument drivers
• Support configuration management for test software and system architecture across platforms
• Train engineers and technicians on running the automated test systems you build
• Engage with customers to understand testing needs demonstrate capabilities and support business development
• Document test procedures system architecture and requirements including:
  • Test and inspection requirements documents
  • Multimedia/user documentation for the test system
  • System documentation for hardware and software components
  • Test program style guides and GUI/architecture updates for current and next-generation systems
• Attend meetings and reviews; communicate with the program manager engineers and customer team members.
• Communicate with external parties such as mission partners and vendors.

• Active TS/SCI; must be eligible and willing to upgrade to TS/SCI w/polygraph.
• Bachelor of Science degree preferably in an engineering field and at least 8 years of relevant experience or Masters with 610 years; at least 12 years of work experience can be used in lieu of degree/combined with education.
• Demonstrated hands-on experience taking a physical DUT (electrical/mechanical hardware) and building a custom automated test system around it not testing an existing software product.
• Demonstrated experience with bench test equipment from Agilent Keysight HP Tektronix and National Instruments including power supplies multimeters oscilloscopes counters power meters signal & waveform generators electronic loads and audio/noise/signal/modulation/power analyzers.
• Working knowledge of Python and/or LabVIEW used to write custom test automation instrument drivers and analysis for hardware.
• Understanding of measurement traceability calibration and repeatable test data (NIST-traceable).
• Demonstrated experience/training operating electronic devices such as transmitters receivers and power supplies.
• Strong written/verbal communication skills including the ability to document systems train others and work directly with customers.
• Able to work well independently and as part of a team.

• Experience with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test environments and simulation
• Experience building custom operator-facing GUIs or test dashboards for a DUT
• Experience with FPGAs embedded systems or microcontrollers
• Experience with test fixtures and custom instrument drivers
• Knowledge of RF principles and hands-on RF test experience
• Knowledge of cellular technologies and/or cellular testing experience
• Experience writing scripts to test or interface with robotic systems
• Background in manufacturing test validation engineering or a test and inspection (T&I) environment
• Knowledgeable of electronics and electrical engineering principles (voltage current RF)
• Experience with customer-facing roles technical training delivery or business development support
