About The Position

Our BAE Systems team in Fort Wayne is searching for a highly motivated Product Test Engineer who will provide first level of troubleshooting to ensure product compliance and will drive ongoing test process efficiency through continuous improvement.

Depending on application type, our Electronics Engineer may be interacting with Analog, Digital, and/or Programmable logic technologies. Troubleshooting is accomplished with the use of standard electrical lab and test equipment to include but not limited to oscilloscope, DMM’s, curve tracer, LCR meter, but familiarity with advanced tools/techniques such as logic analyzer, J-TAG, Boundary Scan and in-circuit debuggers is a plus. This role does not have a design aspect specifically; however, our Test Engineers engage with our design teams to understand issues and drive improvement initiatives to approve test yield. While experience is preferred, less experienced candidates that are goal-oriented, driven by challenges, and willing to learn in order to grow their skills are encouraged to apply as we are willing to train applicants with applicable background.
