Collaborate with IPT and cross-functional teams to capture requirements, develop and validate test software, document procedures and test fixtures, review product testability, and support production troubleshooting and automated test development in a manufacturing environment.

Lead development and validation of EOIR test stations, support production testing and nonconformance repair, drive design-for-manufacturability and continuous improvement, coordinate cross-functional teams, manage projects and earned-value activities, and maintain required government security clearance. On-site in Rolling Meadows, IL.

Design and develop space-qualified power conversion systems: architecture, schematic capture, component selection, PCB layout, simulation, lab verification, WCCA, manufacturing support, test procedure development, and lead engineering teams through integration and qualification.

Design, implement, verify, and optimize FPGA-based digital signal processing systems. Responsibilities include architecture, RTL coding (VHDL/Verilog), HLS, testbench development, simulation, synthesis, place-and-route, timing closure, and hardware debugging for high-speed interfaces and embedded SoC architectures.

Lead architecture and implementation of manufacturing acceptance test software for EO/IR LRUs and system-level testing. Collaborate with IPT to capture requirements, integrate, validate, and release test software, develop test documentation and procedures, review product testability, and support production troubleshooting in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. On-site role requiring US citizenship and required government clearance.

Perform troubleshooting of hardware and test equipment for RF systems, design test fixtures and equipment, develop and maintain manufacturing acceptance and environmental screening procedures, support production and acceptance testing of SRUs/LRUs, drive continuous improvement, and collaborate with engineering, production, quality, and project teams on electronic warfare systems.

Lead delivery of RF Electronic Warfare systems across classified programs. Manage cross‑functional IPTs, contracts, scope, risks, proposals, SOW, and government property. Maintain customer relationships, meet cost/schedule/technical targets, and ensure compliance in secure onsite facilities.

Lead and perform data analysis and reporting to optimize tools (Salesforce, SIMPL, Tableau) and Business Unit funding. Support NCTA/Capital financial reporting, maintain dashboards, manage project metrics, produce presentations, and provide operations support to improve program execution and data integrity.

Lead capture efforts for Mission Survivability Programs with focus on HVAA-P. Develop capture strategy, win themes, competitive assessments, and pricing; lead cross-functional and geographically dispersed teams; engage customers and partners; maintain CRM (Salesforce) data; prepare executive briefings; operate in classified/unclassified environments. Requires Secret clearance and ~25% travel.

Lead end-to-end account management and capture for a key aerospace/defense prime customer. Build executive relationships, drive pipeline and win strategies, coordinate cross-functional capture and proposal activities, enable executive briefings, and align NGMS portfolios to customer priorities. Ensure disciplined opportunity qualification, stakeholder mobilization, and post‑award stewardship to meet growth and win-rate objectives.

Lead a manufacturing test engineering team for RF EW products (TWT, IMA). Oversee production test capability, test equipment/software development, troubleshooting, capacity planning, cost/yield/cycle-time improvements, cross-functional coordination, project/financial management, and people development.

Manage PO releases, placements, and delivery dates to maintain program schedule; manage material budgets and EVMS baselines; forecast and report material cost/performance using Cognos/CMEs/IPRS; identify material risks and critical-path procurements; monitor supplier capacity and production issues. Travel up to 10%.
