Elevate your career in a company dedicated to excellence and the pursuit of safety and mission success. Quest Defense Systems & Solutions is seeking a Systems IV&V / Integration & Test Engineer to support complex aerospace electronic systems. You’ll work hands-on in a secure lab environment, integrating circuit card assemblies, line-replaceable units (LRUs), and terminal systems while troubleshooting issues across the full system.

In this role, you’ll use system requirements and interface control documents (ICDs) to plan and perform integration and verification testing. You’ll investigate failures, support qualification testing and sell-off, and work with hardware, software, and systems engineers to resolve issues. The work calls for experience with complex electronic systems and comfort using tools such as DOORS, MATLAB, and Jira.

This position is based in Marlborough, MA. Relocation assistance is available. U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain a security clearance are required. Active clearance is preferred. What You’ll Do

• Develop and execute systems-level IV&V, integration, and test procedures for complex electronic systems.

• Integrate and operate terminal systems, circuit card assemblies (CCAs), and line-replaceable units (LRUs) in secure lab environments.

• Troubleshoot hardware and system issues, isolate failures, and work with engineering teams to resolve them.

• Use system requirements and interface control documents (ICDs) to verify how components communicate and perform together.

• Support qualification testing and formal test sell-off, documenting results and any remaining issues.

• Use DOORS to manage requirements and verification evidence, Jira to track issues, and MATLAB or simulation tools to analyze system behavior.

• Collaborate with hardware, software, systems, and test engineers throughout integration and testing.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.

• At least 5 years of experience in systems-level IV&V, integration, or test for aerospace, defense, or similarly complex electronic systems.

• Hands-on experience integrating and troubleshooting circuit card assemblies (CCAs), line-replaceable units (LRUs), or multi-box electronic systems in a lab.

• Experience developing or executing system-level verification and qualification tests, documenting results, and investigating failures.
