Built-In-Test Systems Engineer

Overview

Our client is seeking a BIT (Built-In-Test) Systems Engineer to support the development, integration, and verification of advanced sensor systems. This position offers the opportunity to work closely with systems, hardware, and software engineering teams to ensure system reliability, fault detection, and diagnostic capabilities throughout the product lifecycle. The ideal candidate will have experience with RF sensor systems, system integration and testing, data analysis, and embedded software environments. This role will play a key part in developing and verifying Built-In-Test (BIT) functionality that enables high-performance mission systems to operate reliably in demanding environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the development and implementation of Built-In-Test (BIT) capabilities for advanced sensor systems.
• Derive and manage BIT-related system requirements.
• Design BIT architectures and fault detection/isolation strategies.
• Verify BIT functionality and ensure error detection, correction, and compensation mechanisms operate as intended without impacting system performance.
• Evaluate modeling, simulation, and analysis results to assess BIT effectiveness.
• Develop a deep understanding of sensor hardware and system capabilities.
• Lead efforts supporting software integration and development using C++ and Python.
• Define and maintain requirements necessary to achieve system performance objectives.
• Support verification of embedded BIT implementations.
• Generate technical documentation and support Factory Test activities.
• Participate in system integration, test, troubleshooting, and field support efforts.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams, including systems, software, and hardware development organizations.

Required Qualifications
