Bastion Technologies•Houston, TX

164d•Onsite

About The Position

The Electronics Design Engineer will support Bastion’s space program in Houston, Texas, working within a group of more than 45 Electronics and Electrical Engineers. The role reports directly to the Electronics and Electrical Section Manager and involves individual and team-lead responsibilities on projects. The engineer supports electronic system designs from conception, analysis, and manufacturing through operational testing and deployment, providing design guidance across system development. The position includes developing component test-stand architectures, electrical components and laboratory instrumentation test systems, verification procedures, LabVIEW code, test software modules, breakout boxes, and digital and analog sensor emulation systems. It also involves printed circuit board design, instrumentation evaluation, troubleshooting and repairing test systems, and collaborating with electrical and mechanical technicians and eCAD designers to build and test systems. Work is performed onsite in a laboratory and office environment, following standard operating procedures. A 9/80 schedule with every other Friday off is offered; some travel may be required. Schedules may change to meet position or customer needs.
