Verification Engineer - Electrical & Mechanical Systems

We are seeking a versatile Verification Engineer capable of reviewing requirements, developing verification plans, and creating effective test procedures for electrical, mechanical, and integrated systems. This role combines hands on hardware testing with structured verification planning to ensure robust, mission ready products that meet aerospace and military standards including MIL STD 704, MIL STD 461, MIL STD 464, and MIL STD 810.

The ideal candidate is detail oriented, technically strong across multiple domains, and comfortable coordinating test activities, equipment, configurations, schedules, and readiness reviews to ensure requirements are fully and objectively verified.

  Key Responsibilities:
• Develop and execute verification plans, test procedures, and acceptance criteria for electrical, mechanical, and electromechanical systems
• Perform hands on testing of power systems, communication interfaces, motors, actuators, sensors, power electronics, and integrated assemblies
• Evaluate subsystem performance, electrical interfaces, power distribution, and overall system functionality under representative operating conditions
• Verify electrical characteristics including voltage, current, continuity, insulation resistance, grounding, and other system behaviors
• Support environmental testing and assess system performance before, during, and after exposure per applicable MIL standards
• Design test configurations, select instrumentation, and operate lab equipment including oscilloscopes, electronic loads, power supplies, signal generators, and data acquisition tools
• Troubleshoot wiring discrepancies, signal integrity issues, electromechanical malfunctions, and other performance deviations
• Analyze test data, identify discrepancies, coordinate corrective actions, and support retest activities
• Coordinate test equipment, schedules, configurations, and readiness reviews to ensure efficient and accurate test execution
• Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, firmware, systems, and manufacturing engineers during integration and verification
• Perform verification aligned with standards such as MIL STD 704, MIL STD 461, MIL STD 464, and MIL STD 810
• Document results, manage traceability, and ensure compliance with AS9100 quality processes
• Support qualification efforts, design reviews, and failure analysis activities

  Required Qualifications:
• BS in Electrical, Mechanical, or Systems Engineering
• Strong understanding of electronics, embedded systems, and mechanical principles
• Experience using lab instruments such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, electronic loads, network analyzers, thermal sensors, and vibration tools
• Familiarity with environmental and EMI verification methods per military standards
• Ability to develop structured test procedures and verification documentation
• Candidate must be a U.S. Citizen and possess the ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance.

  Preferred Qualifications:
• Background in aerospace, defense, or ruggedized product development
• Experience with data acquisition systems, scripting (Python/Matlab), or automated test frameworks
• Knowledge of power systems, communication interfaces, and mechanical testing methods
• Familiarity with configuration management and AS9100 documentation practices

  Desired Attributes:
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills
• Detail oriented with excellent documentation abilities
• Able to collaborate across multidisciplinary engineering teams
• Passion for ensuring reliable, mission critical hardware performance
