About The Position

Develop, document, catalog, and identify non-flight Electrical Special Test Equipment (ESTE), including test cables, electrical racks, TVAC feedthrough hardware, and board-, box-, instrument-, and system-level test sets. The role develops cable interconnect diagrams, thermal vacuum plates, and interface control documents, as well as software and certification procedures for electrical test sets. The engineer develops CAD models of electronics designs and generates cable designs, schematics, wirelists, detailed drawings, and assembly drawings. The position also involves building product structures and bills of materials, identifying and managing long-lead procurements, specifying connector pinouts and military-standard part numbers in interface control documents, and supporting fabrication with production planners and assembly technicians. The position is part of the Engineering, Science and Analysis Strategic Capabilities Unit and supports collaborative teams delivering technologies for customer missions. It is based on-site five days per normally scheduled week, with possible travel or local commuting between company campuses and other locations. Work may take place in an office, laboratory, production floor, cleanroom, outdoors, or a remote research environment. Occasional work in production areas may require protective equipment, and access to other facilities may involve varying weather conditions.
