## Description

Our client is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to join a customer solutions team that designs, deploys, and sustains custom, turnkey automated test systems for aerospace, defense, and government programs.

This is a multi-functional, high-visibility role. You'll own custom engagements from requirements through deployment: working directly with customers, sales and engineering teams, partner integrators, and contract manufacturers to define what's needed, write the specification, design and prototype the system, and see it through deployment and field support worldwide. If you'd rather own a test system end to end - from the customer's requirements to the hardware on their floor - than work one slice of someone else's design, this is that role.

Test-system experience matters most. Hands-on experience with LabVIEW, TestStand, and PXI or other modular test and measurement hardware is strongly preferred., * Work directly with customers, sales teams, engineering teams, partner integrators, and suppliers to design, implement, and sustain custom test solutions

 * Gather requirements and write requirements documents, statements of work, and bills of materials
 * Define and run project plans - manage milestones and hold design reviews to confirm systems meet requirements and are ready to deploy
 * Specify, design, prototype, test, and deploy turnkey automated test systems
 * Direct support personnel, own technical deliverables, guide technical decisions, and drive field-found issues to resolution
 * Travel as needed (up to 25%), domestically and internationally
