• Domestic and international travel
• Innovative rapid prototyping
• Supporting live-fire testing of our products
• Designing, developing or using commercial software for simulation and test equipment environments
• Designing, developing or integrating methods and equipment to effectively test systems.

JOB DESCRIPTION:

The selected candidate will provide Electrical Engineering support as a member of a multi-disciplined team composed of various engineering disciplines (Electrical, Software, Mechanical, Firmware/Configurable Logic, etc). The team will be responsible for performing design, development and integration of RMS test products within the Test Systems Solution Center (TSSC).

The candidate will be responsible for any one or all of the following for a given test system:

1. Assisting in defining and documenting test requirements.
2. Defining system architecture (block diagrams, design concepts, etc).
3. Developing detailed designs and drawings (including interconnects, cables, circuit card assemblies, rack mounted electrical enclosures, etc).
4. Trade-studies and selection of commercial off the shelf (COTS) components and equipment.
5. Working with drafters to document and release drawings.
6. Supporting design reviews with customers and management at various phases of the design process.
7. Providing oversight to technicians during hardware assembly and installation
8. Testing/verification of completed designs.
9. Design, development, integrate, test, and/or maintain test application software for TSSC.

Other tasks may include updating or adding to existing Test Systems, or providing support to maintain operation of existing Test Systems (diagnosing failures, updates based on improved technology or requirements changes, etc). All efforts by the candidate will be performed while managing the technical, budget, and schedule considerations for their assigned projects. The qualified candidate will also be expected to conform to a process driven environment following procedures and practices established to guide an engineer through the different phases of test equipment implementation including design, fabrication, documentation, and support.
