Coordinate daily/weekly execution across subsystem IPTs, systems engineering, quality, procurement, and program controls. Develop and maintain integration procedures, test procedures, travelers, configuration records, test data packages, and customer acceptance evidence. Plan and execute functional, interface, environmental, optical, vacuum, electrical, and system-level verification activities as applicable. Lead TRR-style reviews, readiness reviews, failure/anomaly investigations, and recovery planning. Ensure integration and test activities are compatible with laser safety, high voltage, vacuum, cleanliness, handling, ESD, and facility constraints. Drive readiness for facility, instrumentation, shipping, handling, and safety inputs. Track AI&T schedule, resource needs, open issues and closure plans, risks, and EAC/ETC impacts for program reporting. RequirementsBachelor’s degree in engineering, physics, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience. 8+ years of experience in assembly, integration, test, verification, production test, or systems test for complex hardware. Aerospace hardware experience is required, including integration, verification, environmental test, delivery of flight, flight-relevant, or similarly high-reliability hardware. Demonstrated experience leading multidisciplinary integration/test teams through build, checkout, anomaly resolution, and delivery. Experience writing or approving integration/test procedures, travelers, verification reports, readiness packages, and sell-off evidence. Experience with environmental or system verification such as thermal/vacuum, vibration, electrical functional test, optical alignment/test, or interface test. Strong working knowledge of configuration control, test discipline, safety, quality, nonconformance, and hardware handling. Ability to communicate test status, blockers, risks, and recovery plans clearly to technical teams and program leadership.
