Test Engineer II

Mercury Systems is seeking a Module DVT Test Engineer II to lead electrical Design Verification Testing (DVT) activities for complex multi-component electronic modules used in mission-critical aerospace and defense applications. This role focuses on circuit-level validation, characterization, and reliability assessment across multiple parts of an integrated module. The engineer will play a key role in ensuring electrical performance, robustness, and manufacturability from early development through production release.

Job Responsibilities:

• Develop module-level DVT plans, test procedures, and characterization methodologies based on electrical requirements, schematics, and design specifications.
• Perform detailed circuit-level DVT across multiple components within a module, including power circuits, high-speed interfaces, digital/analog subsystems, memory, and supporting logic.
• Drive root-cause analysis for electrical failures, collaborating closely with hardware design, PCB layout, manufacturing, firmware, and reliability engineering teams.
• Execute module-level electrical validation including parametric testing, margin analysis, stress testing, and interface compliance verification.
• Lead module bring-up activities and support the transition of new modules from development to production, including documentation, workflow definition, and production training.
• Provide escalation support for complex module-level debug during production test, including component-level isolation, failure characterization, and corrective action recommendations.
• Improve and maintain DVT test processes, fixtures, automation scripts, and lab methodologies to enhance accuracy, coverage, efficiency, and repeatability.
• Guide and mentor junior engineers on electrical test fundamentals, module-level validation techniques, and structured debug practices.
• Support risk assessment and test strategy development for new module architectures, new components, and technology introductions.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Typically requires 3+ years of experience in test engineering with hands-on involvement in circuit-level or module-level hardware validation.
• Experience with electronic components, schematics, power topologies, digital/analog circuits, and module-level architectures.
• Experience with common and advanced lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, DMMs & signal generators.
• Experience creating DVT plans, test documentation, and characterization reports.
• Experience debugging skills with the ability to isolate component-level issues and trace faults through interconnected circuits.

This position requires you to have or obtain a government security clearance. Security clearances may only be granted to U.S. citizens

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience performing DVT, electrical validation, or characterization of complex electronic modules or embedded hardware.
• Familiarity with electrical bring-up, failure analysis, and debug techniques for power delivery, signal integrity, timing, high-speed interfaces, and analog subsystems.
• Experience supporting product transfer from engineering to high-mix/low-volume production environments.
• Knowledge of scripting or automation tools for electrical test (Python, LabVIEW, etc.).
• Understanding of manufacturing test processes, yield analysis, and component-level quality metrics.
• Previous hands-on experience working with Linux OS environments, including command-line navigation, system diagnostics, and log analysis in a test or engineering context.
• Experience with reliability testing such as ESS, HALT/HASS, or component-level qualification methods.
• Familiarity with aerospace and defense standards relevant to module-level design (MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461, DO-160, etc.).
• Experience mentoring, guiding, or leading junior engineers.
• Effective communication and leadership skills with experience collaborating across electrical design, manufacturing, and quality teams.
• Ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities in a fast-paced engineering environment.
