Integration and Test Engineering- Various Levels

L3HHCM20

About The Position

The Integration & Test Engineer is responsible for the planning, manufacturing and production support, and technical execution for the integration and test of Naval training ranges and other seabed electronic and acoustic systems. The position operates primarily as an individual contributor with occasional assignments to lead small teams, executing a variety of integration and test activities. When testing issues arise, this position will either lead or participate in structured and/or ad-hoc problem solving activities. In addition to tactical execution, this position will support driving continuous improvement activities within the I&T knowledge domain. This includes but is not limited to test procedure/work instruction development, tool enhancements, training, and mentoring. This position will report to the Electrical Engineering Manager and may be provided other EE tasking when possible. Typical day to day responsibilities would be driving and managing integration and test artifacts such as test plans, test procedures, verification/validation test matrices, test configuration reports, defect reports, and test reports. This position will work intimately with test engineers, manufacturing engineers and electrical engineers to provide real-time support and guidance with respect to test plans, procedures, manufacturing support and system integration. To perform effectively, it is expected that this position be knowledgeable of system requirements and system operations. This position requires a person that is detailed oriented, structured, well-organized, and can effectively communicate cross functionally between Electrical Engineering and other disciplines and business functions.
