Preferred Skills and Experience:
  • Experience analyzing circuits and developing functional test plans.
  • Experience designing and troubleshooting PCBAs.
  • Experience with test equipment such as oscilloscopes, DMMs, DAQs, and measurement techniques to verify and validate product electronic requirements.
  • Experience developing object-oriented software.
  • Experience with RF test equipment including spectrum analyzers, vector network analyzers, and signal generators.
  • Understanding of electrical schematics and electronics manufacturing to analyze and improve test coverage.
  • Understanding of metrology, sources of measurement error, and uncertainty analysis.
  • Understanding and experience in environmental testing such as HALT, HASS, vibration, shock, thermal, TVAC, and EMI/EMC.
Additional Requirements:
  • Extended hours and weekend work may be required to support critical project and mission milestones.
  • Ability to lift heavy harnesses and fixtures.
