The opportunity

The Barracuda Manufacturing Team is responsible for rapidly iterating and building cutting-edge defense hardware for the Warfighter. This responsibility includes everything in the manufacturing value-chain, including, but not limited to, Design for Manufacturability work, tool…

What you'll do

  • Maintain ownership of manufacturing test infrastructure across the production: lifecycle, ensuring station reliability, calibration, and line throughput

  • Develop and maintain PLC-integrated station control software: commanding industrial controllers over Modbus TCP for rig actuation, interlocks, and sensor acquisition — and maintain the tag/address index as PLC programs evolve, including tooling that imports controller tag exports and validates them against the station's expected schema

  • Build hardware-free simulation environments (containerized station images,: virtual CAN replay, device simulators) so test software is developed and regression-tested without occupying hardware

  • Gather requirements, author comprehensive test plans, and define parametric: acceptance criteria in close partnership with Reliability Engineers and Product Quality Engineers

  • Design, build, and integrate complete test stations, including: instrumentation selection, custom test racks, cable harnesses, and mechanical fixtures

  • Develop robust, automated test software in Python running on Linux/Unix: operating systems to orchestrate test sequences, instruments, and hardware checkouts

What they're looking for

  • Interface test equipment with devices under test (DUTs) using embedded: communication protocols including UART, CAN, and RS-485 / RS-232
  • Configure, maintain, and debug Linux/Unix-based test stations utilizing: terminal command-line utilities, SSH, and network configuration/diagnostic tools
  • Collaborate on test fixture design and custom test PCBAs using Siemens NX: (mechanical) and Altium Designer (electrical)
  • Conduct rigorous root-cause analysis (RCCA) on hardware non-conformances,: test failures, and test escapes to drive corrective actions back into design and assembly
