Systems Integration & Test Engineer (LabVIEW / TestStand)

***please do not submit the same candidate(s) to request #17280/17295/17349/17928/18128/18424/18427/18996/20163***

Position Overview

This role is for a Systems Integration & Test Engineer responsible for designing, developing, integrating, testing, and validating complex hardware/software systems, subsystems, and components. The engineer will support both in-house developed and commercial/government off-the-shelf (COTS/GOTS) solutions, ensuring systems meet customer requirements, technical specifications, and performance expectations.

The ideal candidate will have strong experience with LabVIEW, TestStand, system-level testing, electrical measurements, troubleshooting, and hardware/software integration. Experience with RF/Microwave systems, test equipment development, and aerospace/defense environments is highly preferred.

Clearance Update:
Due to limited candidate flow, the client is now accepting candidates who are able to obtain a security clearance. The supplier will initiate the interim clearance process at the offer stage.
