The Lead Manufacturing Test Equipment Engineer leads the design, development, and delivery of automated production test systems for complex electronic aerospace products. This role involves managing system requirements, developing automated test software, and integrating hardware and software into production-ready systems while providing hands-on technical support to manufacturing teams. The engineer will influence test strategy, perform data analytics, and mentor other engineers in design practices and development processes. Key technologies include National Instruments TestStand, LabWindows/CVI, and programming languages such as C, C++, and C# within Microsoft Visual Studio. Candidates should also be familiar with Git-based tools for source control and various aerospace interfaces like RS-232/422/485, ARINC 429/664/825, Ethernet, and CAN. The role addresses the critical challenge of ensuring high-quality, safe, and cost-effective test solutions during new product introduction and manufacturing for high-reliability electronic systems.

What you'll do

  • Design and develop automated production test systems for complex electronic aerospace products from concept to deployment.
  • Develop and maintain automated test software using National Instruments TestStand, C/C++/C#, and LabWindows/CVI.
  • Provide hands-on technical support to manufacturing by debugging test systems, failures, and equipment issues.
  • Define test strategies including data analytics, design-for-test (DFT) input, and board-level test strategies.
  • Create and maintain comprehensive technical documentation including requirements, schematics, procedures, and verification reports.
  • Mentor and coach other test engineers on tools, architecture, and development practices.
  • Lead cross-functional teams to drive improvements in test capability, productivity, and quality.

What we're looking for

  • BS degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent.
  • Minimum 5 years of experience designing automated test systems for complex electronic products or electrical systems.
  • Proficiency in software development using C, C++, and C#.
  • Fundamental knowledge of electrical design for electrical/electronic equipment.
  • Ability to analyze and resolve complex hardware, software, and system-level problems.
  • Strong oral and written communication skills for cross-functional collaboration.
  • Proven ability to document, plan, and execute projects to meet scope, schedule, and quality objectives.
  • Must be a U.S. Person as defined by export-control regulations (U.S. Citizen, lawful permanent resident, asylee, or refugee).
