This position may require access to information protected under U.S. export control laws and regulations, including the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Any offer of employment may be conditioned on authorization to receive software, hardware, or technology controlled under these laws without sponsorship for an export license. Preferred Experience * Experience with "go fast" programs where schedule can't slip. Experience with complex hardware and hybrid hardware/software/firmware/gateware systems, field-deployed sensors, or other high-programs requiring high reliability and low tolerance of underperforming systems or program failure * Experience with optical, laser/LIDAR, UHV, high-voltage, precision electromechanical, embedded electronics, or quantum/AMO laboratory systems * Experience with TRR, ATP, environmental test campaigns, customer-witnessed testing, and formal delivery packages * Experience building or managing GSE/MGSE/EGSE/OGSE readiness. * Experience supporting EVM, CAM status, IMS execution, or cost/schedule variance reporting. ## Description The duties and responsibilities outlined below include essential functions of the role. Depending on business needs, this role may perform a combination of some or all of the following duties. Duties, responsibilities, and activities may change, or new ones may be assigned at any time with or without notice. * Own subsystem and full QRF system builds - spanning early prototypes and moving towards repeatable and scalable products - serving internal and external programs and system sales * Be the "hands on" on the floor as QRF AI&T IPT lead, including integration planning, build flow, readiness gates, test execution, anomaly management, and delivery coordination * Over time proceed in building and managing a diverse technical team, including but not limited to project / manufacturing / systems / quality and test engineers * Interface with engineering and physics/science teams on test procedures, manufacturing methods, quality, and validation artefacts * Own the AI&T plan, integration sequence, test readiness criteria, facilities and equipment needs, and subsystem handoff criteria all the way from planning to system delivery. * 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., Travel may be required for customer meetings, supplier visits, integration activities, or test campaigns. ## Related Videos - [How to develop an autonomous car end-to-end: Robotic Drive and the mobility revolution](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/22-how-to-develop-an-autonomous-car-end-to-end-robotic-drive-and-the-mobility-revolution) - [Dirty Tests And How To Clean Them](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/515-dirty-tests-and-how-to-clean-them) - [Playing Pong on a shoulder press machine](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100140-playing-pong-on-a-shoulder-press-machine) - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [Quantum DevOps - Enabling Industrial Engineering](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100282-quantum-devops-enabling-industrial-engineering) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Integration And E2E Testing: Are They Complementary or Interchangeable?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/86-integration-and-e2e-testing-are-they-complementary-or-interchangeable) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [The 8 Best Code Testing Tools](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/402-the-8-best-code-testing-tools) - [Should senior developers refuse interview coding challenges?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/29-should-senior-developers-refuse-interview-coding-challenges) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence)
