Overview
This is great opportunity for a hands-on Electrical Engineer to use their knowledge and skills to support the development of a complex Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) test bed. This is a very flexible position where you will have a great opportunity to broaden your skill set, while tackling very unique and challenging engineering problems. Very rarely will you have two months, or even weeks, in a row that are the same.

In this position, you will design, build and test prototype electrical interfaces (eg data acquisition, power distribution, electronic filters, control boxes, etc.) to integrate hardware into the laboratory test bed. You will read through electrical schematics, interface control documents, product manuals, etc. in order to understand system operation and to perform hardware integration tasks.

You will participate in test planning, system integration, and test activities as well as troubleshoot and debug the test bed hardware and software.

This organization is experience tremendous growth and they are involved with all the latest technologies. All the work is of an R&D nature. You will have the opportunity to get a clearance.
