Role

You will work within the Avionics & Control Products (ACP) organization, part of the Engine Business Unit. As part of the ACP Test Equipment and Manufacturing Automation team, you will design and deliver avionics ground and test systems supporting engineering development and production. You will work across the systems engineering V by defining requirements, architectures, and interfaces, decomposing conceptual systems into hardware and software components, selecting COTS components that meet requirements, designing custom test equipment, and performing integration, test, qualification, and verification of ground and test equipment hardware.

You are a systems-thinker and recognized problem solver. You understand that designing effective test solutions is just as important as designing flight hardware. You have an innate ability to identify anomalous behavior, rapidly determine root cause, and implement corrective action independently or in close collaboration with stakeholders. Your understanding of networking and scripting languages enable you to remotely triage systems-under-test across the country.

Position requires up to 25% travel to rocket engine test sites.
