This is a technical hands-on supervisory position responsible for designing, manufacturing, integrating, and on time/budget delivery of customized ATE test systems and Test Program Sets (TPSs) for commercial and military electronics, systems, sub-systems, Line Replaceable Units (LRU's), Shop Replaceable Units (SRUs).

Typical duties include but not limited to:

• Managed multiple projects to design, configure, and manufacture customized ATE testers for Test Program Set developments.
• Manage a team of Test Development engineers, Software engineers, PCB designers, Mechanical engineers, shared resources and engineering technicians to perform test system design, assembly, cables and harnesses assembly, system validation, TPS's generation (functional and in-circuit testing), test fixture design, test code generation, system and test program integration, and system acceptance for delivery.
• Performed circuit analysis of complex systems, circuit boards under test to configure necessary system resources for test system development.
• Established all system architectural HW, SW requirements for test systems using COTS items. Select and procure all necessary materials and parts.
• Analyze project requirements to development cost and provide quotation, statement of work, and schedule to customers.
• Design Interface Test Adapters (ITAs) including various interfaces and supporting circuitries to simulate aircraft in-flight data, information, communication.
• Perform hands-on test code generation, HW/SW debug, integration, fault isolation and diagnostic.
• Provide technical guidance, leadership, mentorship to the team in system architecture, design, component selection, design for reliability, traceability and manufacturability.
• Generate required documentation, test procedures, schematics, wiring diagrams, specifications, work orders and mechanical drawings.
• Conduct PDRs, CDRs, ATPs (Acceptance Test Procedures), design reviews, project status meetings with project team, customers.
• Provide training and customer support on delivered system. Performed test systems, test program sets installation, and acceptance on site and at customer sites
