Integration & Test Engineer / Counter-UAS

Integration & Test Engineer – Counter-UAS (C-UAS)

Position Summary

We are seeking a highly motivated Integration & Test Engineer to support the development, validation, and deployment of Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS). This role is critical in ensuring that complex multi-domain systems—combining sensors, command and control (C2), and defeat mechanisms—operate reliably in real-world environments. The ideal candidate will have experience integrating hardware and software systems, executing test campaigns, and troubleshooting complex system-level issues.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan, develop, and execute system integration and test activities for C-UAS platforms
• Integrate sensors (radar, RF, EO/IR), communication systems, and countermeasure technologies into cohesive operational systems
• Develop and maintain test plans, procedures, and verification/validation (V&V) documentation
• Conduct lab, field, and live-flight testing to validate system performance against requirements
• Troubleshoot hardware, software, network, and system-level integration issues
• Analyze test data and generate detailed reports, including performance metrics and recommendations
• Support system calibration, alignment, and configuration management activities
• Collaborate with systems engineering, software, RF, and mechanical teams to resolve integration challenges
• Develop and maintain automated test scripts and test environments where applicable
• Support customer demonstrations, operational exercises, and field deployments
• Ensure compliance with applicable military and industry standards

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Electrical, Systems, Aerospace, Mechanical, or related field)
• 4 years of experience in system integration, test engineering, or validation roles
• Experience in integrating hardware/software systems in defense, aerospace, robotics, or similar domains
• Strong troubleshooting skills across multi-disciplinary systems (HW, SW, networking, RF)
• Experience developing and executing formal test procedures and documenting results
• Familiarity with test equipment (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, etc.)
• Understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, Ethernet-based systems)
• Ability to work in lab and field environments, including outdoor test ranges

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with C-UAS, UAV systems, or air defense technologies
• Familiarity with RF systems, electronic warfare, or sensor fusion concepts
• Experience with command and control (C2) systems or distributed architectures
• Knowledge of military standards (e.g., MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461, DO-160)
• Experience with scripting or automation tools (Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, etc.)
• Experience participating in live flight tests or operational exercises
• Active security clearance or ability to obtain one

Key Skills

• System-level thinking and integration expertise
• Test planning, execution, and reporting
• Root cause analysis and troubleshooting
• Data analysis and performance evaluation
• Cross-functional collaboration
• Adaptability in fast-paced, mission-critical environments
