About The Position

SAIC is seeking an Aircraft Battery Test Engineer to support the US Navy in Crane, IN. This role provides direct engineering support to the Aircraft Battery Programs Special Programs and Airborne Battery System Programs. Support includes program systems engineering, test and evaluation of aircraft batteries, data analysis, analysis brief development and presentation, technical report generation, test documentation development, and program closeout requirements. The engineer will review technical documents to ensure they meet iPDM process requirements before government approval. Responsibilities also include applying mission profiles to commercial off-the-shelf test systems (e.g., Arbin) and LabView-driven modular systems. Future support will involve evaluating and implementing big data techniques for predictive analytics to identify failure modes and predict end-of-life characteristics for various lithium-ion and other aircraft battery chemistries.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Engineering and 2 or more years’ experience.
Ability to provide engineering support via data analysis and test system operations to the program leads.
Provide Systems Engineering support to manage programs throughout the year.
