TL;DR · Electrical Test Engineer

The Electrical Test Engineer joins the Electromagnetic Warfare manufacturing team to ensure hardware meets stringent quality standards while meeting production throughput requirements. This role involves managing test activities across the manufacturing value stream, from system-level checkouts to component-level validation. The engineer will perform hands-on troubleshooting of complex electrical issues, develop work instructions for technicians, and conduct root cause analysis on non-conforming hardware. Key responsibilities include optimizing test automation, maintaining equipment calibration, and collaborating with design teams to improve product features based on test data. Required technical skills include proficiency in Linux, Ubuntu, LabVIEW, and NixOS, alongside experience with PCBA testing standards and tools like oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and power supplies. The role focuses on the manufacturing of advanced defense hardware specifically designed for electromagnetic warfare applications within a complex integrated systems environment.

What you'll do

  • Manage production test flows and provide hands-on troubleshooting for complex electrical issues during testing.
  • Maintain test capabilities across the manufacturing value stream from system level checkouts to component validation.
  • Improve existing test systems to enhance automation, consistency, cycle time, and overall test coverage.
  • Create clear work instructions for technicians and train them on proper equipment usage.
  • Develop a library of common failure modes with troubleshooting guides for rapid issue resolution.
  • Perform root cause analysis on product failures and recommend corrective actions.
  • Analyze test data and provide detailed reports to identify defects and areas for improvement.
  • Maintain and calibrate electrical test equipment to ensure precision and reliability in production.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronics, Computer, Mechanical Engineering, or related fields.
  • 5+ years of relevant industry experience with an emphasis on manufacturing test and product sustainment.
  • Familiarity with Linux, Ubuntu, LabVIEW, and NixOS.
  • Experience with contract manufacturers in testing PCBA and electronic assemblies using standard methods.
  • Familiarity with electronics test equipment including power supplies, oscilloscopes, function generators, and spectrum analyzers.
  • Strong root cause analysis skills for non-conforming hardware.
  • Familiarity with PLM, MES, and TES systems.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
