Product Test Engineer

Job Description It’s about the journey. Every second, a commercial plane takes off transporting millions of passengers somewhere in the world, enabled by our flight-critical commercial electronic systems. From pilot inputs to control surface movement, be part of our engineering journey where you’ll be among the brightest minds, working on the industry’s most difficult problems. We Innovate for Those Who Move the World™. Sound like a team you want to be a part of? Come build your career with BAE Systems. As a member of the BAE Systems Controls and Avionics Solutions (CAS) engineering team, you will have the opportunity to work hands-on with complex electronic controls and solve challenging technical problems that both enhance our products’ performance and matter to our customers.

The BAE Systems Engineering Team in Fort Wayne Indiana is searching for a highly motivated Product Test Engineer (PTE) who will own a product line and ensure product compliance and will drive ongoing test process efficiency through continuous improvement. Trusted in the industry, CAS develops, manufactures, and services highly reliable, long life cycle, adaptable, and scalable avionics solutions for the leading manufacturers of commercial aircraft and their propulsion systems. Our Engineering team members are expected to be able to investigate failing circuits down to a component level. Depending on application type, our PTEs may be interacting with Analog, Digital, and/or Programmable logic technologies. Troubleshooting is accomplished with the use of standard electrical lab and test equipment but familiarity with advanced tools/techniques is a plus. Our Engineers engage with our design teams to understand issues and drive improvement initiatives to improve test yield and reliability. While experience is preferred, entry level candidates that are goal-oriented, driven by challenges, and willing to learn to grow their skills are encouraged to apply as we are willing to train applicants with applicable backgrounds.

In this role, the qualified candidate will be the engineering support interface for our electronic control products within the Fort Wayne factory. Responsibilities include:

• Owning, Defining, Integrating, and Maintaining hardware test requirements and test performance
• Initiating continuous improvement of our electronic controls as a response to acceptance test yields and delivered quality metrics
• Providing on-site design engineering guidance and product support to Operations, Aftermarket and our customers (e.g. product investigations/root cause analysis, product performance assessments, and component/circuit level troubleshooting and diagnostics)
• Teaming with Design Engineering in Endicott, New York and customers on changes to improve yield and reliability

Performance in the role requires frequent engagement with Programs, Operations, and our customer to support product performance, quality, reliability, and delivery issues.
