What You'll Do

• Design, develop, integrate, and maintain automated test equipment that supports the production of complex defense systems.
• Develop and maintain automated test software using LabVIEW and related tools.
• Develop and maintain test frameworks and automation using Java.
• Review test specifications to ensure requirements are complete, accurate, and aligned with production and system needs.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex issues involving test equipment, software, hardware interfaces, and test methodologies.
• Analyze test data and production yields to identify trends, determine root causes of failures, and drive corrective actions.
• Recommend and implement improvements to test equipment and processes.
• Partner with design, development, manufacturing, and tooling teams throughout the product lifecycle to ensure products are testable and manufacturable.
• Participate in product design reviews and provide engineering input related to Design for Test (DFT) and Design for Manufacturing (DFM).
• Ensure test processes and equipment comply with applicable industry standards, military specifications, and quality requirements.

Required Experience
