Join Our Team as an ETD Engineer

Are you excited by the opportunity to work in a dynamic, fast-paced environment? Do you have an interest in designing and integrating advanced test systems and Test Program Sets (TPS)? If so, we'd love to connect with you.

We partner with leading organizations across commercial and military electronics, developing complex systems and subsystems-and we're looking for talented engineers to help us drive that mission forward.

• This is a direct hire position, salary is around $150k to 170k/year depending on experience
• 100% on site to start in Irvine, CA, will have some flexibilities for remote in the future depending on performance
• This is a W2 position, no C2C or 1099 or sponsorship

What You'll Do

As an ETD Engineer, you will play a key role in both the design and hands-on implementation of test solutions. Your day-to-day work will involve collaborating with cross-functional teams to build, integrate, and validate test systems and associated programs.

Key responsibilities include:

• Design, configure, and build custom Automated Test Equipment (ATE) and develop Test Program Sets (TPS)
• Conduct detailed circuit analysis of complex systems, including subsystems, LRUs, and SRUs, to determine test system requirements
• Define hardware and software requirements for test systems, including ITAs, cables, and harnesses, leveraging COTS components where applicable
• Source and procure required components and materials
• Create comprehensive technical documentation including schematics, wiring diagrams, specifications, test procedures, mechanical drawings, and work orders
• Participate in design and review milestones such as PDRs, CDRs, and acceptance testing with internal teams and customers
• Perform hands-on work including test code development, integration, debugging, fault isolation, and diagnostics

What We're Looking For

We're seeking motivated, detail-oriented engineers who are eager to learn and solve complex technical challenges. To be considered, you should bring:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) or equivalent
• Strong understanding of both analog and digital circuit design
• At least 3 years of experience designing circuits using tools such as Altium, OrCAD, or Cadence
• Hands-on experience with standard test equipment including oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, function generators, data acquisition systems, and DIO

What You Bring to the Team

Success in this role requires strong analytical thinking and troubleshooting capabilities, along with the ability to clearly communicate technical concepts to both internal teams and external customers.

Additional experience that would set you apart includes:

• Designing analog and digital circuits
• Developing TPS for microprocessor-based systems and familiarity with MIL-STD-1553 and MIL-STD-1760
• Experience with Windows-based test software tools such as ATLAS, ATEasy, LabVIEW, Visual Basic, Visual C++, or LabWindows (3+ years preferred)
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools (Excel, PowerPoint, Project, Word, Outlook)
• Ability to lead and mentor cross-functional engineering teams to deliver on project objectives
• Prior exposure to project management practices
