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.As a Senior System Development Engineer, you will architect the HW/SW infrastructure for test automation for Satellite Payload Antennas and Customer Terminals. These products are complex systems that incorporate a Linux Embedded OS, with which you will interface.You will be responsible for conducting thorough code reviews of both your own and others' merge requests while developing a comprehensive test framework. This framework will enable the creation, tracking, updating, and execution of repeatable, discoverable tests, while collecting critical measurements and streamlining test verification processes.Your role will also involve designing Radio Frequency (RF) and Over The Air (OTA) test systems for antenna products, focusing on expanding test coverage, integrating complex testing scenarios, and improving test accuracies. Working hand in hand with Responsible Engineers (RE) who oversee antenna products and collaborating with our multidisciplinary antenna testing team, you will capture these efforts in detailed test procedures.A key aspect of your position will be serving as a liaison between Software Teams, external resources (including test equipment vendors), and REs. In this capacity, you will establish and implement Aerospace validation and verification processes, incorporating automated testing into various procedures including Design Verification (DVT), Acceptance Testing (ATP), Qualification Testing (QTP), and Payload integration testing.Key job responsibilities
- Design new antenna test systems using RF equipment (VSA, VSG, GNSS simulators, digitizers, switches), RF up/down-converters, FPGA-based Digitizers, and controllers of motorized and electrically switched axes.
- Inspect the control hardware currently installed, and use that information to architect and design an acquisition system with TTL and TCP/IP controls
- Determine automation requirements across the internal and external teams
- Develop test frameworks for loading software builds and configuration, managing test cases, storing test configurations, executing test runs, logging metrics, and pipe the data.
