Test Systems Sr Technical Lead - Dallas, TX

Description

We 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 4‑7 engineers through the remaining design, integration, prototyping, EMI qualification, and verification phases. Requirements are fully defined; the lead will drive the implementation of RF, software (LabVIEW-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 carries full Cost Account Manager (CAM) responsibility under EVMS and 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.

We offer flexible work schedules, comprehensive benefits, and opportunities for growth and development.

MUST BE A U.S. CITIZEN – this position is located at a facility that requires special access. The selected candidate must obtain a Secret Security Clearance. A Final Secret Clearance is required to start.

• Bachelors or Master’s Degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math (STEM) or equivalent professional experience
• Proven team‑lead experience managing cross‑functional technical projects
• Hands‑on Cost Account Manager (CAM) background with full budget ownership
• Development expertise in software (Python, C/C++, C#, LabVIEW), hardware engineering, or RF hardware development at system level
• High‑energy, self‑motivated; driven to deliver results with minimal oversight
• Excellent communication and mentorship skills to inspire and guide junior engineers
• Must have an active Secret Clearance

• 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 DOORS (or equivalent) for requirements authoring, traceability, and change management
• Skilled at creating detailed test‑system specifications and engineering the hardware architecture needed to realize them
• Strong background in test‑automation frameworks (e.g., pytest, Google Test, LabVIEW Test Stand) 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
