Career Opportunity

We are looking for a highly motivated candidate who will lead the planning and execution of testing of end-to-end sonar systems from their submerged acoustic transducers to power and digital control electronics, hydrodynamic towed bodies, and mechanical overboarding systems. The Hardware Test Engineer will work with Systems Engineers and design experts to organize verification / validation activities that demonstrate compliance to system requirements. They will oversee and coordinate execution of the tests by technicians and field engineers. The Test Engineer will be focused on sonar system programs and will have the opportunity to support field activities such as sea trials. This role requires someone who is a critical thinker, proactive problem solver, and comfortable working across technical disciplines.
