Standard Job DescriptionWe are seeking a high-energy Technical Team Lead to take charge of an existing, mid-stage test-system development effort and lead a focused team of 2-4 engineers through the remaining design, integration, prototyping, EMI qualification, and verification phases.
Requirements are not fully defined; the lead will drive the implementation of RF, software (LabVIEW-based or text-based), and hardware architectures, manage rapid hardware-software prototyping, and ensure rigorous verification against system-level test specifications.
In addition to overseeing configuration control and continuous-integration processes, the role requires frequent briefings and presentations to senior leadership and the U.S. Government customer.
This fast-paced, high-visibility assignment offers significant growth potential for a self-motivated technical leader.
Basic Qualifications- STEM degree or equivalent experience.
- 3+ years of relevant industry experience.
- Proven team-lead experience managing cross-functional technical projects OR
- Development expertise in software (Python, C/C++, C#, LabVIEW) or hardware engineering.
- Proven experience in hardware/software integration of complex systems.
- High-energy, self-motivated; driven to deliver results with minimal oversight.
- Excellent communication and mentorship skills to inspire and guide junior engineers.
Desired Skills- Mastery of two or more languages such as C++, C#, and Python, with solid hands-on experience applying object-oriented design patterns.
- Expert in test-system hardware design and configuration management, including managing redline updates, version-controlled schematics, and bill-of-materials control to ensure rapid, reliable hardware evolution.
- Deep familiarity with the full requirements-management lifecycle; from capturing test requirements for complex systems, through automated-test equipment specs, to rigorous configuration control.
- Proven expertise using Cameo (or equivalent) for requirements authoring, traceability, and change management.
- Skilled at creating detailed test-system specifications and engineering test plans for complex systems.
- Strong background in test-automation frameworks (e.g., pytest, GoogleTest, LabVIEW TestStand) and CI/CD pipelines for continuous verification.
- Experience integrating hardware and software (NI HW, COTS HW) to build end-to-end test systems that meet performance and safety margins.
