Work Environment: This is a fully onsite position at Redstone Arsenal. Due to the nature of the work, remote/hybrid is not available.
What you will do:
- Maintain and improve HIL test systems-addressing both existing issues and new requirements-to support evolving test goals.
- Refactor existing LabVIEW codebases to improve usability, maintainability, performance, and scalability.
- Develop new software and hardware components to expand test capabilities for upcoming system features.
- Design reusable frameworks and architectures that can support multiple configurations or be used by less-experienced developers.
- Improve internal tooling and infrastructure to streamline testing workflows and increase engineering productivity.
- Assist other groups with test tool usage and apply domain expertise to broader systems where needed.
- Provide mentorship and technical leadership to junior engineers on best practices, design approaches, and debugging techniques.
- Play a key role in guiding long-term direction, helping prioritize work, and aligning team efforts with program goals.
- Deepen your domain expertise. Our systems interact with a broad array of hardware and software. You'll frequently investigate subsystems you interface with, gaining cross-disciplinary knowledge and becoming a go-to resource on complex system interactions.
- Mentorship & Influence: Senior-level authority to shape designs, guide less experienced developers, and drive system evolution.
