Hardware Test & Integration Engineer

Quartermaster • Arlington, VA

5d • $190,000 - $210,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

Quartermaster is seeking Hardware Test & Integration Engineers to support the growth of their test infrastructure. The role involves maintaining and expanding the hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) test bench, integrating hardware, configuring software, and writing automated test scripts. The engineer will evaluate new sensor types, produce test results to inform product decisions, and conduct field testing on vessels. This is a hands-on integration role that requires cross-functional collaboration with engineering teams to ensure test data and work are secure, efficient, and productive.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Systems Engineering, Robotics/Mechatronics, Test Engineering, or a related hands-on technical field — or equivalent experience
• 4–12 years of experience building and maintaining test benches, including proficiency with hand/power tools, 3D printing, integration of mixed custom and COTS hardware, and execution of manual/automated testing procedures.
• Demonstrated experience building or maintaining test benches or infrastructure — integrating COTS instrumentation, computers, sensors, and ensuring network access for remote engineers.
• A proven ability to work effectively across multi-disciplinary engineering and product teams while maintaining strong documentation and traceability habits.
• Desire to conduct field testing in maritime environments and travel as needed to meet project goals.
• Ability to independently drive projects forward through ambiguity, resource limitations, and tight deadlines.
• US citizenship and valid driver's license required

Nice To Haves

• Current security clearance or ability to obtain one is preferred.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, operate, and maintain test infrastructure at our DC-area office and future remote/vessel deployment sites
• Develop, refine, and execute manual and automated test procedures to evaluate current and candidate pieces of hardware
• Work cross-functionally across engineering and product teams at Quartermaster to prioritize and accelerate the evaluation of new sensor models and modalities to accelerate and inform the engineering organization’s development road
• Use and contribute to shared physical and digital test infrastructure across multiple sites and disciplines — coordinating scheduling, logistics, and configuration with the teams that depend on them
• Keep test data, equipment, and procedures organized, secure, and well-documented so results are trustworthy, traceable, and reusable across teams
• Execute field validation testing aboard vessels in the broader DC area and at other US sites as needed, adapting bench procedures to real-world maritime deployment conditions
