• Own the lab architecture and rig design.
• Provide design oversight of every rig build.
• Lead bring-up at the bench for each rig.
• Define and run the rig operational-readiness checklist.
• Keep every rig under configuration control.
• Own lab capacity and the integrated lab schedule.
• Allocate hardware to rigs.
• Set rig fidelity and test data capture standards.
• Run integration on the rigs.
• Make the lab safe and accredited.

Required qualifications

• B.S. in electrical, computer, aerospace or mechanical engineering, or a similar technical field.
• 7+ years designing, building, operating or integrating SIL, HIL, iron-bird or avionics integration labs for aircraft, missiles or space systems.
• At least 2 years as the technical lead for a lab or rig team.
• Hands-on avionics and electrical integration.
• Reading and reviewing harness drawings and pin-to-pins.
• Knowledge of MIL-DTL-38999-class connectors.
• Knowledge of safe-to-mate, aircraft power distribution, and bench instrumentation.
• Working knowledge of avionics data buses and networks such as Ethernet, MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, RS-422/485 and CAN.
• Knowledge of time synchronization (PTP, IRIG).
• Experience with real-time HITL host and simulation environments, plant models, I/O and data-acquisition hardware, and data recording.
• Experience running configuration control of test assets and producing as-run records.
• Proficiency in Linux and in Python or similar scripting.

Nice to have

• Iron bird experience, including hydraulic systems, loaded actuation, flight controls or starter-generator / power loading.
• Mission systems integration experience: EO/IR, electronic warfare, datalinks, crypto and key management, and C2 ground segments.
• Classified lab accreditation experience (RMF / ATO, JSIG) and familiarity with TEMPEST and secure lab design.
• Experience standing up a multi-rig lab from scratch with several builds in flight at once.
• Lab automation and continuous integration on HIL rigs: automated regression, test frameworks and results dashboards.
• Familiarity with MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-461, and linking verification evidence to a system model.
• Flight test or ground test support experience on a developmental aircraft program.

Benefits

• Comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees.
