About The Position

The Lead Integration & Test Engineer plans and executes integration and testing for Naval training ranges and other seabed electronic and acoustic systems, and supports manufacturing and production. The position is primarily an individual contributor role, with occasional leadership of small teams and participation in structured or ad-hoc problem solving when test issues arise. It also supports continuous improvement in integration and test through development of procedures and work instructions, tool enhancements, training, and mentoring. Reporting to the Electrical Engineering Manager, the role manages integration and test artifacts such as test plans, procedures, verification and validation test matrices, configuration reports, defect reports, and test reports. It works closely with test, manufacturing, and electrical engineers to provide real-time guidance on plans, procedures, manufacturing support, and system integration. The position requires detailed knowledge of system requirements and operations, structured and organized work habits, and effective cross-functional communication. It is hands-on and uses a wide array of electrical test equipment and custom test fixtures. Field support travel may be required, up to 30%.
