- Perform failure analysis and root-cause troubleshooting; document findings and support nonconformance, corrective-action, and rework activities.
- Set up, operate, and maintain test equipment and fixtures, including environmental stress screening, thermal cycling, vibration, and highly accelerated life testing equipment; identify equipment issues and coordinate calibration or repair.
- Support new product introduction, prototype builds, engineering evaluations, qualification testing, and transition of products into production.
- Perform optical alignment, fiber-optic inspection and cleaning, and optical performance testing.
- Capture, review, and document test data as part of production automated test procedures and product traveler documentation.
- Work with engineering, quality, and manufacturing personnel to improve test procedures, fixtures, and production processes.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- August 7, 2026 Air Force awarded $8.22 million for nuclear flash-blindness goggles.
- September 28, 2026 DLA awarded $9.2 million for B-2 fire-control systems.
- March 26, 2026 Beacon partnership moved IWOS-M into active U.S. Navy fleet deployment.
What critics are saying
- Air Force and DLA contracts dominate revenue, exposing Intellisense to single-customer procurement swings.
- The August 7, 2026 goggles award carries known congressional interest and mid-2027 delivery pressure.
- Sole-source SBIR Phase III dependence invites recompetes and protests if incumbency weakens.
What makes Intellisense Systems unique
- Intellisense's SBIR Phase III pipeline locks Air Force programs into sole-source follow-on buys.
- Its 80,000-square-foot Torrance campus builds weather, avionics, and protection systems in-house.
- MOSA-compliant displays and sensor suites fit legacy aircraft without redesigning entire avionics stacks.
