Job Description
WHAT WE’RE DOING
We specialize in Rotary and Mission Systems (RMS) that provide advanced capabilities to serve the defense industry. Our RMS Training and Logistic Solutions (TLS) are designed to meet the unique needs of our customers, offering unparalleled performance, reliability, and versatility. We provide comprehensive support throughout the entire system lifecycle, from design and development to deployment and maintenance. With a focus on innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction, we are committed to delivering RMS solutions that exceed expectations and set new standards for performance and reliability.
THE WORK
This position is for a level 2 Test Engineer within Production Operations for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Pilot Training Device (PTD) testbed devices for software and hardware development. We integrate new hardware configurations into PTD testbeds in Orlando to allow development engineers to verify and validate new capabilities for the deliverable F-35 flight simulators sent to US and allied customers around the world. We take pride in our work because we know that pilots gain proficiency in our flight simulators that directly translates to effectiveness when they operate the F-35 aircraft in real-world tactical situations.
Specific Responsibilities Include

• Performs installation, maintenance, and repairs on flight simulators used for developing new software/hardware.
• Locates and diagnoses failures, replaces defective components, and performs basic troubleshooting using standard electronic equipment, detailed drawings, diagrams, sketches, specifications, prints, manuals, and verbal and/or written instructions.
• May redesign basic electrical, electronic, or mechanical systems for incorporation on existing development equipment.
• Performs asset configuration, setting up IP addresses and MAC addresses, networking, system stand-up and operational testing, and troubleshooting of test systems.
• May travel to Lockheed Martin AERO sites to perform hardware updates to their existing testbeds.

Who We Are
Our functional group, the Production Support Test Engineers, is composed of 9 professionals with a common purpose to provide the pilots of the United States and our Allies with high quality pilot training devices. We are the connection between each program’s development engineers who integrate new capabilities into subsystems and the remainder of our Production Operations organization who create high quality products in repeatable processes. We have a unique role that gains expertise in both deployable hardware and deployable software.
Who You Are
As a Production Support Test Engineer, you understand the interoperability of subsystems within the system that you produce. While development engineers may know their subsystem better you, no one on the program knows the entire system better than you. Government customers, program managers, and other engineers come to you when they need a holistic assessment. You are curious and maybe a bit of a tinkerer, but you know how to focus your efforts to provide a high-quality product that is on time and within budget.
WHY JOIN US
When you join our team, you'll be part of a dynamic and supportive work environment that values collaboration, growth, and innovation. We offer opportunities for training and development to help you build your career. Our mission-driven organization is dedicated to making a positive impact in the world, and we're looking for talented and passionate individuals to help us achieve our goals.
