About The Position

SAIC is seeking a Test Engineer to work with its team at Crane NSWC in Crane, Indiana. The role focuses on designing, developing, and executing end-to-end tests for complex, high-speed digital and RF systems. The engineer develops test code routines, Interface Test Adapters (ITAs), Operational Test Program Hardware, and associated documentation; creates Test Program Sets (TPSs) as screen-only or fault-detection tests according to established requirements; and creates stimulus and response test vectors using Logic Automated Stimulus and Response (LASAR) simulation software. The role also involves designing hardware and software interface devices to integrate Weapons Replaceable Assemblies (WRAs) and/or Shop Replaceable Assemblies (SRAs) with Automated Test Equipment (ATE), and preparing electronic operator instructions for electronic Circuit Card Assemblies (CCAs).

The engineer provides life-cycle sustainment support for existing TPSs, including corrections, modifications, and enhancements to repair and maintain airborne or surface electronic systems and modules. The role supports electronic warfare (EW) test systems, including CASS, Spectrum 9100, the EW Common Test Bench, the EW Custom Test Bench, and other test benches as needed. It also includes developing, modifying, and updating electronic test, troubleshooting, diagnostic, and environmental screening capabilities for EW systems, subsystems, equipment, and components.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, and 2 years of experience in an electronics engineering role focused on testing and validation.
• U.S. citizenship.
• Ability to obtain a Secret Security Clearance; a new hire may start with an interim Secret clearance.
• Experience programming in NI LabVIEW.
• Experience with high-speed digital and RF test equipment, such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, and signal generators.
• Strong understanding of digital and RF principles.
• Demonstrated experience designing and running automated test systems and software.
• Programming language experience with C, C++, C#, and L200.
• Experience with the TestStand test executive.
• Experience with LASAR simulation software.
• Experience with LabWindows.

Nice To Haves

• Master's degree in a relevant engineering discipline.
• Experience with other programming languages such as ATLAS, LabVIEW, or Visual Basic.
• Familiarity with communication protocols such as PCIe, Ethernet, and DDR.
• Certified LabVIEW Developer (CLD) or Certified LabVIEW Architect (CLA).
• Experience with LabWindows.

Responsibilities

• Develop test code routines, Interface Test Adapters (ITAs), Operational Test Program Hardware, and associated documentation.
• Develop each Test Program Set (TPS) as a screen-only or fault-detection test in accordance with established requirements.
• Create stimulus and response test vectors to achieve fault-detection ratings using LASAR simulation software.
• Design hardware and software interface devices to integrate WRAs and/or SRAs with Automated Test Equipment (ATE).
• Develop electronic operator instructions for each electronic Circuit Card Assembly (CCA) and deliver them in electronic media format.
• Provide life-cycle sustainment support for existing TPSs, including corrections, modifications, and enhancements needed to repair and maintain airborne or surface electronic systems and modules.
• Support EW test systems, including CASS, Spectrum 9100, the EW Common Test Bench, the EW Custom Test Bench, and other test benches requiring support.
• Develop, modify, and update electronic test, troubleshooting, diagnostic, and environmental screening capabilities for EW systems, subsystems, equipment, and components.
