Test & Operations Integration Engineer (Product Test Engineering Background)

This role is an excellent opportunity for someone with product test engineering experience to work at a broader, enterprise level. The Test & Operations Integration Engineer will build the digital foundation that connects physical operations to engineering, creating a continuous digital thread from material characterization and manufacturing through qualification testing and flight hardware.

What You Will Do

Lead the integration of laboratory equipment, manufacturing systems, test stands, DAQ systems, sensors, historians, SCADA, MES, and industrial software into a unified digital ecosystem. Work directly with manufacturing and test organizations to understand existing workflows, identify inefficiencies, and design software solutions that significantly improve operational visibility, data quality, and engineering productivity.

Why It Might Be a Fit

The ideal candidate will have 7+ years of experience in a fast-paced engineering environment, a strong software engineering background, and experience integrating laboratory equipment and DAQ systems. The candidate will also have demonstrated ability to bridge hardware and software while working closely with manufacturing, test, and operations personnel.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in a fast-paced engineering environment
• Strong software engineering background with experience developing industrial, manufacturing, laboratory, or test software
• Experience integrating laboratory equipment, DAQ systems, PLCs, SCADA, MES, industrial protocols, or hardware interfaces
• Demonstrated ability to bridge hardware and software while working closely with manufacturing, test, and operations personnel
• Experience with distributed systems, APIs, messaging architectures, or real-time data pipelines
• Familiarity with industrial communication technologies such as OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus, LabView, or similar technologies is desirable
• Strong systems thinking with a passion for improving engineering and operational workflows
