Export Control Requirement: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.Key job responsibilities
* Electrical Integrity Ownership: Lead analysis and mitigation strategies for signal degradation, transient susceptibility, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) in test harnesses and test systems; extend to flight harnesses as needed.
* Grounding & Shielding Strategy: Define and validate grounding schemes (single-point, multi-point, hybrid) for test systems and shielding approaches for sensitive signal lines.
* Harness Design Standards: Specify technical requirements for:
* Shielded vs unshielded cable use
* Twisted pair implementation
* Low speed, high speed, and RF signals
* Separation and routing guidelines for mixed-signal harnessing
* Design Review Participation: Partner with flight and test engineering teams during early design phases to influence harness design and interconnects to ensure electrical signal integrity.
* Failure Investigations: Serve as the go-to owner for root cause analysis (RCA) of test harness anomalies relating to electrical integrity, test harness and verification anomalies, and electromechanical test system.
* Documentation & Compliance: Develop interface control documents (ICDs), block interconnect diagrams (BIDs), electrical schematics, test harnessing specifications, and a signal integrity standards library.
