## Description

We're seeking a Test Engineer to support a government contract in the National Capital Region (NCR). You'll take a customer-designed electrical or mechanical device , the Device Under Test (DUT) , and build the test capability around it. This involves connecting the right bench instrumentation, writing custom automation and analysis in Python and/or LabVIEW, and establishing repeatable, calibrated data.

## Primary Responsibilities

- Take a customer-designed physical DUT (electrical, mechanical, or electromechanical) and determine what must be proven about it

- Connect and configure bench instrumentation (oscilloscopes, spectrum/power analyzers, signal/waveform generators, NI hardware, multimeters, power supplies) to the DUT

- Write custom test automation and analysis software in Python and/or LabVIEW to control the test setup and interpret results

- Develop hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test environments and simulation to validate the DUT under realistic conditions

- Build operator-facing GUIs so engineers or technicians can run the test

- Establish and validate repeatable, calibrated, NIST-traceable test data

- Maintain and improve existing automated test systems, fixtures, and instrument drivers

- Support configuration management for test software and system architecture across platforms

- Train engineers and technicians on running the automated test systems you build

- Engage with customers to understand testing needs, demonstrate capabilities, and support business development

- Document test procedures, system architecture, and requirements

## Required Qualifications

- Active TS/SCI; must be eligible and willing to upgrade to TS/SCI w/polygraph

- Bachelor of Science degree, preferably in an engineering field, and at least 8 years of relevant experience, or Master's with 6–10 years; at least 12 years of work experience can be used in lieu of degree/combined with education

- Demonstrated hands-on experience taking a physical DUT (electrical/mechanical hardware) and building a custom automated test system around it

- Demonstrated experience with bench test equipment from Agilent, Keysight, HP, Tektronix, and National Instruments

- Working knowledge of Python and/or LabVIEW used to write custom test automation, instrument drivers, and analysis for hardware

- Understanding of measurement traceability, calibration, and repeatable test data (NIST-traceable)

- Strong written/verbal communication skills, including the ability to document systems, train others, and work directly with customers

- Able to work well independently and as part of a team

## Desired Qualifications

- Experience with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test environments and simulation

- Experience building custom operator-facing GUIs or test dashboards for a DUT

- Experience with FPGAs, embedded systems, or microcontrollers

- Experience with test fixtures and custom instrument drivers

- Knowledge of RF principles and hands-on RF test experience

- Knowledge of cellular technologies and/or cellular testing experience

## Benefits
