About The Position

We are seeking a highly motivated Integration & Test Engineer to support the development, validation, and deployment of Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS). This role is critical in ensuring that complex multi-domain systems—combining sensors, command and control (C2), and defeat mechanisms—operate reliably in real-world environments. The ideal candidate will have experience integrating hardware and software systems, executing test campaigns, and troubleshooting complex system-level issues.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Electrical, Systems, Aerospace, Mechanical, or related field)
4+ years of experience in system integration, test engineering, or validation roles
Experience in integrating hardware/software systems in defense, aerospace, robotics, or similar domains
Strong troubleshooting skills across multi-disciplinary systems (HW, SW, networking, RF)
Experience developing and executing formal test procedures and documenting results
Familiarity with test equipment (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, etc.)
Understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, Ethernet-based systems)
Ability to work in lab and field environments, including outdoor test ranges

Nice To Haves

Experience with C-UAS, UAV systems, or air defense technologies
Familiarity with RF systems, electronic warfare, or sensor fusion concepts
Experience with command and control (C2) systems or distributed architectures
Knowledge of military standards (e.g., MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461, DO-160)
Experience with scripting or automation tools (Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, etc.)
Experience participating in live flight tests or operational exercises
Active security clearance or ability to obtain one

Responsibilities

Plan, develop, and execute system integration and test activities for C-UAS platforms
Integrate sensors (radar, RF, EO/IR), communication systems, and countermeasure technologies into cohesive operational systems
Develop and maintain test plans, procedures, and verification/validation (V&V) documentation
Conduct lab, field, and live-flight testing to validate system performance against requirements
Troubleshoot hardware, software, network, and system-level integration issues
Analyze test data and generate detailed reports, including performance metrics and recommendations
Support system calibration, alignment, and configuration management activities
Collaborate with systems engineering, software, RF, and mechanical teams to resolve integration challenges
Develop and maintain automated test scripts and test environments where applicable
Support customer demonstrations, operational exercises, and field deployments
Ensure compliance with applicable military and industry standards
