Lead Engineer - Testing
for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay is given: base pay range $95k-$127k annually, plus discretionary bonus. So we can include Pay section. Schedule: location mentions hybrid: 2-3 days each week onsite. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. Benefits: described. So Benefits section. Responsibilities: Essential Responsibilities list. Qualifications: Required Qualifications. Skills: maybe Desired Characteristics? Could map to Skills. Or we could have Requirements (maybe combine Required Qualifications and Eligibility). But we need to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose which to include based on content.
We have About the role: could be Job Description Summary. That's a paragraph. So we can have About the role
with
containing summary. Responsibilities: Essential Responsibilities list. Requirements: maybe Eligibility Requirements (US citizenship) plus maybe other mandatory? Could combine. Qualifications: Required Qualifications (BS, 5 years experience, etc.) Skills: Desired Characteristics (leadership, NI tools, interfaces, etc.) Benefits: described. Pay: base pay range and bonus. Schedule: location and hybrid arrangement (2-3 days onsite) plus relocation assistance. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Remove duplicated lines. Also remove application instructions, closing date? The posting includes "This posting is expected to close on 10/31/26". That's maybe not needed? It's not boilerplate but could be considered metadata; but we can drop as not substantive? Probably we can drop as it's not required. Also "Relocation Assistance Provided: Yes" we can include in Schedule or maybe a separate note but we can incorporate. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like specific tools, interfaces, etc. We need to use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Responsibilities list, each bullet as
- . For Requirements list (maybe eligibility), for Qualifications list, for Skills list, for Benefits list.
We need to use
for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft. First, About the role: combine Job Description Summary paragraph(s). The summary: "The Lead Test Systems Engineer will own the design and delivery of automated production test systems for complex electronic aerospace products. This role combines technical leadership, hands-on development, and cross-functional collaboration to ensure safe, high-quality, and cost-effective test solutions that support manufacturing and new product introduction. This includes developing test software for full automation, managing requirements, and integrating hardware and software into complete systems." Also location and hybrid arrangement maybe goes to Schedule. But we can keep location in About? Better to keep location in Schedule. Thus About the role paragraph as above. Responsibilities: list each bullet from Essential Responsibilities. Let's extract bullets: - Lead the design and development of production test equipment for complex electronic aerospace products, from concept through deployment. - Architect and implement system-level automated test solutions, including hardware, software, and data flows, to achieve high test coverage and throughput. - Own the full test system lifecycle: planning, requirements, architecture, hardware/software design, integration, verification, release, and sustainment. - Influence overall test strategy and coverage, including test data analytics, design-for-test (DFT) input, and board-level test strategies in manufacturing. - Develop and maintain test software using National Instruments TestStand, C/C++/C# in Microsoft Visual Studio, and C in LabWindows/CVI (or equivalent tools). - Provide hands-on technical support to manufacturing, including debug of test systems, test failures, and equipment issues. - Create and maintain test design documentation, including requirements, test specifications, schematics/drawings, procedures, test software documentation, verification procedures, and reports. - Collaborate closely with R&D, Manufacturing, Quality, and Product Engineering to align test solutions with product requirements, safety, and quality standards. - Contribute to and lead elements of new product introduction (NPI), process improvement, and lean/continuous improvement initiatives within test engineering and manufacturing. - Mentor and coach other test engineers in tools, architecture, design practices, and development processes; provide technical direction within project teams. - Communicate status, risks, and mitigation plans clearly and proactively to project and functional leadership. - Prepare and deliver technical material for customer and internal design/test reviews and presentations. - Plan and manage own work and assigned resources to meet schedule, cost, quality, and compliance objectives. - Participate in and sometimes lead cross-functional teams to address organizational initiatives and drive improvements in test capability, productivity, and quality. That's many; we keep all. Requirements: Eligibility Requirements: "This position requires U.S. citizenship status." Also maybe "Relocation Assistance Provided: Yes" but that's not a requirement. Also maybe "This role requires access to U.S. export-controlled information. Therefore, employment will be contingent upon the ability to prove that you meet the status of a U.S. Person as one of the following: U.S. lawful permanent resident, U.S. Citizen, have been granted asylee or refugee status (i.e., a protected individual under the Immigration and Naturalization Act, 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3))." That's more detailed eligibility. We'll include that as part of Requirements. Thus Requirements list: - U.S. citizenship status (or U.S. Person: lawful permanent resident, citizen, asylee/refugee status) due to export-controlled information access. We could separate but keep as bullet. Qualifications: Required Qualifications list: - BS degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent. - Minimum 5 years of experience designing automated test systems for complex electronic products or electrical systems in a production or high-reliability environment. - Knowledge and experience in software development using C, C++, C#. - Circuit design capability for test equipment, including signal conditioning, signal conversion, stimulus generation, filtering, and cable/harness design. - Demonstrated ability to analyze and resolve complex technical problems, including hardware, software, and system-level issues. - Strong oral and written communication skills with a proven ability to collaborate effectively in cross-functional teams. - Proven ability to document, plan, and execute projects or work packages to meet scope, schedule, and quality objectives. We could also include "Eligibility Requirements" separate but we already have Requirements. Skills: Desired Characteristics list: - Experience leading other engineers or technical workstreams within a project team (technical lead, work package owner, or similar). - Hands-on experience with National Instruments tools, including TestStand and LabWindows/CVI, for automated test development. - Familiarity with common aerospace and industrial interfaces, including analog and discrete I/O, RS-232/422/485, ARINC 429/664/825, Ethernet, CAN, and similar. - Strong organizational skills, with the ability to prioritize work, manage multiple tasks, and achieve milestones and deliverables. - Systems engineering mindset, including requirements flowdown, interface definition, traceability, and verification planning. - Demonstrated ability to manage time and resources to meet task schedule, cost, and quality objectives with minimal supervision. - Strong problem-solving skills, including experience with root cause analysis and corrective action (e.g., 5-Why, fishbone, 8D, or similar methods). - Experience using Git-based tools (e.g., GitHub) for source control, code review, issue tracking, and collaboration. - Formal training or certification in project management (e.g., PMP coursework, Agile/Scrum, or equivalent) is a plus. - Experience in aerospace or other highly regulated industries and familiarity with relevant standards. We could also include "Relocation Assistance Provided: Yes" maybe under Benefits or Schedule. But we have Schedule for location/hybrid; we can add relocation assistance as a bullet under Benefits? Actually relocation assistance is a benefit. We'll add to Benefits. Benefits list: from description: - Comprehensive benefits and programs to support health, physical, emotional, financial and social wellbeing. - Healthcare benefits include medical, dental, vision, and prescription drug coverage; access to a Health Coach from GE Aerospace; and the Employee Assistance Program, which provides 24/7 confidential assessment, counseling and referral services. - Retirement benefits include the GE Aerospace Retirement Savings Plan, a 401(k) savings plan with company matching contributions and company retirement contributions, as well as access to Fidelity resources and planning consultants. - Other benefits include tuition assistance, adoption assistance, paid parental leave, disability insurance, life insurance, and paid time-off for vacation or illness. - Relocation assistance provided (for eligible candidates). We need to keep all substantive info. We'll make bullet list. Pay: base pay range $95,000.00 - $127,000.00 USD Annually. Also discretionary bonus based on percentage of base salary. We'll include that. Schedule: location: Grand Rapids, MI. Hybrid: onsite 2-3 days each week. Also mention relocation assistance? Already in Benefits. We'll keep schedule: location and hybrid arrangement. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Remove those paragraphs. Now produce HTML. Structure:

Make sure no extra whitespace? It's fine. Check that we didn't repeat job title. Good. Now craft the content precisely. About the role paragraph: combine the two sentences from summary. Let's write: "The Lead Test Systems Engineer will own the design and delivery of automated production test systems for complex electronic aerospace products. This role combines technical leadership, hands-on development, and cross-functional collaboration to ensure safe, high-quality, and cost-effective test solutions that support manufacturing and new product introduction, including developing test software for full automation, managing requirements, and integrating hardware and software into complete systems." That's good. Responsibilities: list each bullet exactly as in posting. Ensure we keep punctuation. Let's copy each bullet: - Lead the design and development of production test equipment for complex electronic aerospace products, from concept through deployment. - Architect and implement system-level automated test solutions, including hardware, software, and data flows, to achieve high test coverage and throughput. - Own the full test system lifecycle: planning, requirements, architecture, hardware/software design, integration, verification, release, and sustainment. - Influence overall test strategy and coverage, including test data analytics, design-for-test (DFT) input, and board-level test strategies in manufacturing. - Develop and maintain test software using National Instruments TestStand, C/C++/C# in Microsoft Visual Studio, and C in LabWindows/CVI (or equivalent tools).
