• Develop data acquisition systems, calibration procedures, automated test programs, and report‑generation software for DoD platforms.
• Create, integrate, and validate Test Program Sets (TPS) for aircraft, engine components, and electronic assemblies using NI CVI, NI LabVIEW, and NI Test Stand environments.
• Design cables, circuit card assemblies, and interface hardware for aerospace test stations.
• Generate and maintain technical documentation, including test procedures, requirements traceability matrices, calibration steps, and maintenance manuals.
• Support engineering change control processes, configuration management, and contractual compliance across government programs.
• Produce logistics and sustainment analyses such as Level of Repair Analysis (LORA), MTBF assessments, provisioning, and lifecycle planning.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional engineering and maintenance IPTs to plan supportability, updates, and long‑term sustainment activities.

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering or related discipline (ABET‑accredited).
• 20+ years of electrical engineering experience in aerospace, defense, or automated test systems.
• Expert‑level proficiency with:
  • NI LabVIEW, NI CVI, NI Test Stand
