• Lead engineering teams through complex system integration and test challenges, ensuring solutions meet rigorous defense standards.
• Drive configuration control and technical rigor, confidently leading change approvals (CCBs) and supporting root cause and corrective action efforts through FRBs.
• Establish yourself as a go-to technical authority for test systems integration, troubleshooting, and production support.
• Improve system reliability and readiness by proactively resolving issues and strengthening engineering processes.

Responsibilities

• Lead day-to-day engineering execution for test systems supporting production, manufacturing, and qualification programs
• Coordinate cross-functional teams (engineering, operations, quality) to ensure mission readiness and delivery performance
• Oversee and influence technical decision-making across hardware and test software systems
• Manage system changes through formal control processes (CCB/FRB) in compliance with defense program standards
• Support system integration, deployment, and troubleshooting in high-reliability environments
• Track performance using Earned Value Management System (EVMS) and scheduling tools such as Microsoft Project

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in STEM discipline
• 2+ years of experience in:
  • Test systems engineering
  • Hardware/software integration, verification, and validation
  • Production, manufacturing, or product qualification environments

• Active Secret Clearance

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting defense or aerospace programs
• Familiarity with both Windows and Linux operating environments
• Hands-on knowledge of:
  • Test equipment, rack systems, and cable assemblies
  • Electronic measurement tools (oscilloscopes, analyzers, DAQ systems)
• Strong troubleshooting skills for complex electro-mechanical or test systems
• Experience working in Agile and/or EVMS-driven programs, including gated reviews
• Demonstrated experience leading multi-disciplinary engineering teams

An ACTIVE U.S. Government Security Clearance is Required to be considered for this role .
