We design, build and integrate assured positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) hardware and software for the Department of Defense and the companies that build for it. Our products include anti-jam CRPA antennas, horizon-nulling antennas and a miniature M-code GPS receiver. All of them are shipping today, with test data behind them, and our engineers integrate them into the systems our customers already run. We're hiring a Senior Test and Systems Engineer to lead systems engineering and test on our PNT products and to build the team that does it. You'll report to our [Technical Director], manage our Junior Systems Engineer, and work in a matrixed organization alongside hardware, software and production engineers. You'll own the path from a customer's technical requirements to the test result that proves we met them: requirements, architecture, verification and validation, and the procedures production uses to build and test every unit. There's no large engineering department behind you here, so you'll set how TAG does systems engineering and test, and you'll give input directly to Engineering, Manufacturing, Configuration Management, Quality and executive leadership. On an average day you'll handle some combination of the following. You'll turn customer requirements into requirements documents and performance specifications, lead architecture design and documentation, and own configuration management and Contract Data Requirements Lists (CDRLs) for your programs. You'll write and approve test plans, design verification procedures, functional test procedures and assembly procedures, and run system and integration testing in the lab and in the field, including on customer platforms. You'll lead design reviews, troubleshoot hardware, software and system issues to root cause, and support failure reporting, analysis and corrective action. You'll evaluate Engineering Change Requests (ECRs), design test fixtures and keep test documentation under revision control. You'll also assign, review and coach the Junior Systems Engineer's work so it meets the same standard as yours. TAG is a small, veteran-owned company, and more than a quarter of our team has served. You'll work directly with leadership and engineering, build the team you lead, and the products you test will ship to the field. TAG is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. TAG does not respond to unsolicited recruitment services. We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
