About The Position

Astronics Test Systems is seeking a TPS Engineer to develop software and hardware solutions for customer and internal testing. The role supports parametric, functional, and diagnostic testing of units under test (UUTs), including communication electronic assemblies, military tactical radios, amplifiers, and Astronics test equipment. Work includes capturing customer requirements, defining and implementing automated test scenarios, and developing and integrating cables and interfaces. The engineer analyzes technical documentation and UUT behavior to determine test requirements; helps design wiring harnesses and accessories; develops automated test programs; and performs test execution, debugging, and troubleshooting. The role also involves analyzing results and identifying root causes of failures, maintaining source and document data using revision control, and using project management, issue-tracking, and workflow automation tools. Customer interaction may be required, and limited travel may be required. This position is not remote. The work environment is quiet, with occasional exposure to moving mechanical parts. The position frequently requires sitting, handling objects with the hands, and talking or hearing; standing and walking are occasional. Close, peripheral, and depth vision are required. Employment is contingent on passing a drug test and background check. The position may involve access to items subject to U.S. export-control laws, and employment is contingent on authorization to access those items under applicable law.
