In this role, you will:
Work with a cross-functional team to develop BIT and test automation strategies and methodologies.
Apply your engineering skills and education to investigate, analyze, and evaluate system designs for proper testability.
Ensure the BIT design is adequate to meet customer requirements for fault detection and fault isolation.
Develop Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) artifacts including activity diagrams, sequence diagrams, etc. that represent the BIT design.
Influence product development by supporting the design team to establish BIT functions, test interface requirements and diagnostic features.
Supports BIT integration activities by testing or overseeing the testing of BIT features, investigating results, and implementing corrective actions to the BIT design.
Participates in designing algorithms that predict the remaining useful life of the system (prognostics)
Plans and conducts formal BIT Demonstration activities by defining the representative fault list from the testability study, defining the fault insertion methods, performing dry-runs to test the fault insertion methods and modifying BIT software and diagnostic rules based on results of testing.
Presents BIT design and analysis at internal and customer design reviews.
Provide BIT technical support to SW Engineering during SW implementation, Production during ATP, and Field Service Engineers during platform integration.
Perform root cause investigations and implementing corrective actions. Initiates, justifies, and implements BIT-related enhancements needed for improved demonstrated reliability and fault detection, increased production capacity, improved test yields, reduced cycle time, and optimized depot diagnostics.
Although this role may provide telecommuting opportunities, there can be a need to perform all work on-site for different reasons (examples: because of the classified nature of the work, need for consistent in-person collaboration).
