TalentBurst | Mid Test Engineer KS | overland park, ks

Position Summary
We are currently looking for a Mid-level Test Engineer who is self-motivated, a critical thinker and with a strong technical background, to join the *** Radar Test Engineering Team in Overland Park, Kansas. This team is responsible for development and test of a next generation state of the art secondary radar system for the FAA, as well as providing deployment site support. The Test Engineering team guides all technical aspects of system test through the formal test process. With inputs from the system architects, the Test Engineering team defines the test approaches and test success criteria for each system requirement which result in integration and test procedures to validate the system to customer requirements. Additionally, the Test Engineering team applies their knowledge of the system’s hardware, software, and networks to support and conduct test design reviews and perform system integration on multiple radar subsystems and external interfaces. The Test Engineering team also conducts formal in-plant test, and on-site development test campaigns for the validation of the FAA secondary radar system.
Essential Functions / Key Areas of Responsibility
As an integral part of the Test Engineering team, the Mid-Level Test Engineer has individual responsibility for a subset of each phase of the test program as defined below:
● Responsible for working on all phases of the test program, including planning, test approach and test success criteria development, test procedure development, test dry-runs, test conduct and test report development
● Responsible for mapping requirements into Test Phases, Test Events, Test Methods, Test Procedures and Test Cases
● Responsible for formulating and defining effective test approaches and success criteria through research and fact-finding to solve complex testing problems
● Responsible for system integration, debug (both hardware and software) and root cause analysis throughout the design, test and deployment phases.
● Responsible for conducting formal on-site development tests in the presence of the FAA and other witnesses
● May be required to conduct formal on-site development tests regression in the presence of the FAA and other witnesses
● Responsible for performing data analysis on data collected at various stages of test
● Participation in developing Test Design Review Material in accordance with requirement test approaches.
● May be required to participate in field test activities, primarily equipment tuning and optimization.
