Test Engineer II

Job DescriptionMercury Systems is seeking a Module DVT Test Engineer II to lead electrical Design Verification Testing (DVT) activities for complex multi‑component electronic modules used in mission‑critical aerospace and defense applications. This role focuses on circuit‑level validation, characterization, and reliability assessment across multiple parts of an integrated module. The engineer will play a key role in ensuring electrical performance, robustness, and manufacturability from early development through production release.Job Responsibilities:Develop module‑level DVT plans, test procedures, and characterization methodologies based on electrical requirements, schematics, and design specifications.Perform detailed circuit‑level DVT across multiple components within a module, including power circuits, high‑speed interfaces, digital/analog subsystems, memory, and supporting logic.Drive root‑cause analysis for electrical failures, collaborating closely with hardware design, PCB layout, manufacturing, firmware, and reliability engineering teams.Execute module‑level electrical validation including parametric testing, margin analysis, stress testing, and interface compliance verification.Lead module bring‑up activities and support the transition of new modules from development to production, including documentation, workflow definition, and production training.Provide escalation support for complex module‑level debug during production test, including component‑level isolation, failure characterization, and corrective action recommendations.Improve and maintain DVT test processes, fixtures, automation scripts, and lab methodologies to enhance accuracy, coverage, efficiency, and repeatability.Guide and mentor junior engineers on electrical test fundamentals, module‑level validation techniques, and structured debug practices.Support risk assessment and test strategy development for new module architectures, new components, and technology introductions.Required Qualifications:Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.Typically requires 3+ years of experience in test engineering with hands‑on involvement in circuit‑level or module‑level hardware validation.Experience with electronic components, schematics, power topologies, digital/analog circuits, and module‑level architectures.Experience with common and advanced lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, DMMs & signal generators.Experience creating DVT plans, test documentation, and characterization reports.Experience debugging skills with the ability to isolate component‑level issues and trace faults through interconnected circuits.This position requires you to have or obtain a government security clearance. Security clearances may only be granted to U.S. citizensPreferred Qualifications:Experience performing DVT, electrical validation, or characterization of complex electronic modules or embedded hardware.Familiarity with electrical bring‑up, failure analysis, and debug techniques for power delivery, signal integrity, timing, high‑speed interfaces, and analog subsystems.Experience supporting product transfer from engineering to high‑mix/low‑volume production environments.Knowledge of scripting or automation tools for electrical test (Python, LabVIEW, etc.).Understanding of manufacturing test processes, yield analysis, and component‑level quality metrics.Previous hands-on experience working with Linux OS environments, including command‑line navigation, system diagnostics, and log analysis in a test or engineering context.Experience with reliability testing such as ESS, HALT/HASS, or component‑level qualification methods.Familiarity with aerospace and defense standards relevant to module‑level design (MIL‑STD‑810, MIL‑STD‑461, DO‑160, etc.).Experience mentoring, guiding, or leading junior engineers.Effective communication and leadership skills with experience collaborating across electrical design, manufacturing, and quality teams.Ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities in a fast‑paced engineering environment.#LI-RL1This position requires you to access information that is subject to U.S. export regulations.
