Job description

IC Resources is supporting an Austin based technology company developing advanced sensing and detection systems for defense, public safety, and autonomous applications.

We're looking for a hands on Systems Integration & Test Engineer to help bring complex hardware, firmware, and software together into reliable, production ready systems.

This position offers the opportunity to work across multiple engineering disciplines, from electronics and embedded systems to RF hardware and software, with direct involvement in product integration, validation, and manufacturing.

Responsibilities

• Integrate hardware, embedded processors, firmware, networking, and software into complete systems.
• Develop and execute system level test plans, validation procedures, and acceptance criteria.
• Troubleshoot complex hardware and software integration issues, identifying root causes across subsystems.
• Develop automated test scripts, diagnostic tools, and test fixtures using Python or similar languages.
• Validate system performance, including data integrity, timing, synchronization, latency, and reliability.
• Perform hands-on testing using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, and other laboratory equipment.
• Support production testing, including end of line validation and manufacturing test procedures.
• Collaborate with electrical, RF, FPGA, embedded systems, and software engineering teams.
• Support firmware releases, regression testing, and troubleshooting of deployed systems.

Requirements

• Experience in systems integration, hardware validation, or embedded systems testing.
• Strong understanding of electronics, embedded firmware, and software integration.
• Hands-on experience troubleshooting hardware and software interfaces.
• Proficiency in Python or a similar programming language for test automation.
• Experience with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other electronic test equipment.
• Familiarity with embedded Linux, networking, and communication protocols.
• Ability to read schematics and develop repeatable test procedures.
• Strong problem-solving skills and experience working across multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Preferred Experience

• Background in RF, radar, sensing, aerospace, defense, or advanced electronics.
• Experience with FPGA-based systems or high-speed data acquisition.
• Development of automated production test systems or hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing.
• Environmental, reliability, or extended-duration testing.
• Experience transitioning hardware products from development into manufacturing.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Work on advanced sensing technology with real-world applications.
• Join a growing Austin-based hardware engineering team.
• Gain exposure to the full product lifecycle, from development through manufacturing and deployment.
• Collaborate closely with engineers across RF, embedded systems, electronics, and software.
• Competitive compensation and benefits.
