The posting

Electronics Test and Characterization Engineer

Leidos is seeking an Electronics Test and Characterization Engineer to develop automated test architectures, characterize and evaluate electro-mechanical subsystems, and communicate performance results to technical leadership. In this role, you will design, develop, test, and support electronic hardware used in undersea autonomous vehicle applications. This role requires expertise in analog/digital hardware systems and design, power design, and automated electronics test development. The ideal candidate will enhance our hardware design engineering verification process, ensuring our hardware meets rigorous performance specifications for undersea applications. You should be comfortable with a high degree of ambiguity and have a drive to deliver results. The successful candidate performs hands-on integration, verification, testing, and troubleshooting of high-criticality undersea embedded systems. This role focuses on ensuring that electronic hardware works reliably and that system performance meets defined functional specifications. You will investigate product issues, validate system behavior, and provide technical guidance across multiple engineering disciplines.

Why Join Us?

· Make an Impact: Your work will directly support U.S. maritime dominance and national security.

· Lead Innovation: Be at the forefront of applying innovative technology and autonomy to real-world maritime systems.

· Work with Experts: Collaborate with a top-tier team of engineers, scientists, and technicians located across the U.S.

· Shape the Future: Influence both the strategic and tactical direction of next-generation subsea technologies.

What You’ll Do

· Develop system validation and verification tools and procedures for automated hardware characterization

· Plan, write, and execute test plans and procedures for development, risk reduction, qualification, and acceptance testing

· Support environmental testing (thermal, vibration, EMI/EMC) including test planning, procedure execution, and anomaly resolution

· Identify, document, and track test anomalies through to resolution

· Communicate test status, risks, and results clearly; support and lead technical reviews at appropriate milestones

· Perform root cause analysis on test failures, lead corrective actions, and drive continuous improvement of the test systems

· Drive verification closure: map test evidence to requirements, track open items, and ensure test reports meet qualification standards

· Contribute to test infrastructure development including test equipment selection, test bed design, and production test systems

· Collaborate with design engineers to define test requirements and acceptance criteria.

· Analyze test data and generate comprehensive test reports with recommendations.

· Advise design engineering of existing production capabilities, equipment, facilities and standard practices to contribute to the development of new designs.

· Supports test activities throughout the product lifecycle, including development, qualification, and production testing

· Support issue resolution and product updates across the product development and manufacturing lifecycle

· Maintain accurate test records, problem reports, and verification evidence in accordance with engineering standards

What You Bring

Required Experience:

  • Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Engineering (Systems, Electrical, Computer Science), Physics, or Math
  • 4-8 years of experience with electronics product/technology development
  • 2+ years of experience with test development automation for electronics systems
  • Expertise with Oscilloscopes, Signal Generators, Power Supplies, Data Acquisition and Visualization
  • Software skills: LabVIEW, Python, Matlab, Embedded/Linux
  • Deep understanding of embedded electronics design, sensor interfacing, power distribution, and signal analysis
  • Reviewing electrical engineering drawings, including schematics, PCBs, circuit card assemblies (CCAs), cable harnesses, and bills-of-materials
  • Strong analytical and hands-on troubleshooting skills for complex electronic and embedded systems
  • U.S. Citizenship with the ability to obtain a SECRET clearance

Preferred Experience:

· EMI/EMC measurements, evaluation and mitigation techniques

· Proven track record with Root-Cause Analysis, reproduction of reported product failures, and assistance in corrective-action investigations

· Experience with manufacturing processes and Product Lifecycle Management systems

· Ability to handle high pressures, prioritize workload and understand impact of duties required

· Experience with test plan development, building the necessary test bench infrastructure, developing tests and verifying the design

· Strong written and verbal communication skills, including documenting test results and supporting technical reviews

· Familiarity with MIL‑STD‑461 and MIL-STD-810

· Exposure to DoD technical program execution

· Experience supporting high-reliability or safety-critical products

· Proficiency with circuit simulation tools such as PSPICE or LTSPICE.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
