Integration & Test Engineer II/Senior – Electrical Test Equipment Deployment Lead

 

Join the Space Vehicle Systems Engineering, Integration & Test (SEIT) team at Ball Aerospace - a diverse group of motivated problem solvers. We like to have fun and enjoy life - both at work, and in our free time. We're excited about the challenging projects we're involved in and have a strong commitment to the missions we enable.

 

Offering growth opportunities at all levels of skill and experience, we're looking for leaders and innovators who can continue our strong reputation for creativity and technical excellence, while helping to define the future of Ball.

 

Make a difference. Love what you do. Realize your full potential.

 

We're seeking an action-oriented engineer with intellectual curiosity who is excited to put their potential to use leading a cross-program effort at Ball to ensure that our electrical support equipment can operate on the networks and in the environments required to support our programs.

 

This will require a balance of technical experience, project engineering, and excellent communication skills. This role will be responsible for understanding the requirements of our Information Assurance, Information Technologies, Program Security, Systems Test, Simulators, and Electrical Special Test Equipment teams, and then getting our electrical systems up and running in the environments where they are needed to test the flight hardware. Longer-term, you would be asked to help put together the strategic plan for how to improve this process and standardize it, and to lead a team of other engineers supporting these efforts across our business units.

 

If you enjoy Legos, writing code for your drone, playing with Linux builds, optimizing your potato cannon, hot-rodding your scooter, and have the skills to rebuild the hyperdrive of the Millennium Falcon, then this might be a good position for you.

 

What You'll Do:

 

• Work in a fast-paced team environment getting our non-flight electrical equipment and corresponding software into the environments (both classified and non-classified) and onto the networks where it has to operate, and maintaining it in those environments.
• Plan for obsolescence of equipment and software, and plan for future changes to the requirements of our customers regarding electrical equipment.
• Build and manage a team that can work closely to overcome technical, schedule, and cost challenges.
• Help standardize the process for deploying electrical equipment at Ball.
• Support estimation of the time and effort required to deploy systems into these environments, and then manage to a set cost and schedule baseline.
• Collaborate with Information Assurance, Information Technologies, Program Security, Systems Test, Simulators, Electrical Special Test Equipment, and other team members.
• Assess, summarize, and effectively communicate the impacts of complex IT and security requirements to
