• Background in system-level bench testing, functional verification, and root-cause analysis.
• Exposure to electrical and mechanical integration activities, including cable and connector selection, terminations, rack layouts, equipment mounting, labeling, and assembly verification.
• Experience developing standardized configurations, reusable test methods, and process improvements to enhance quality and efficiency.
• Interest in research and development, particularly in developing and integrating new and emerging communication technologies.
• Ability to work independently while owning technical tasks from requirements review through final release.
• Strong organizational skills with attention to detail in documentation, configuration baselines, and change control.
• Comfort providing technical support during staging, installation, commissioning, customer acceptance testing, and post-deployment troubleshooting.
• Motivation to grow within a stable, industry-leading environment that offers exposure to both military and commercial projects.

Work EnvironmentThis is a fully onsite role, working Monday through Friday in a hands-on engineering and production environment focused on networked communication systems. You will regularly work with Ethernet networking equipment, managed switches, routers, VoIP and SIP platforms, PBX systems, and related system hardware. The position involves bench testing, system integration, and close collaboration with engineering, production, quality, project management, vendors, and customers.

The role requires occasional travel approximately one to two times per quarter, typically for on-site installation, commissioning, customer acceptance testing, or troubleshooting, although many customers visit the primary facility. The environment offers long-term stability, serving both military and commercial sectors, and provides significant opportunity to work on new and evolving technologies rather than legacy or static products.
