Systems Engineering - Test Systems

What Success Looks Like in This Role

Success in this role means becoming the technical and execution leader ensuring mission‑critical test systems are delivered on schedule, meet stringent aerospace/defense requirements, and perform reliably in production and qualification environments.

Within your first 6-12 months, you will:

• Provide accurate, actionable program status to IPTLs/Program Managers, enabling data‑driven decisions aligned with cost, schedule, and technical performance (EVMS).
• 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

• Experience with design, development, or integration of test equipment

• 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.
