Job description


Thank you for your interest in BAE Systems! This opening is included as part of our September 2026 Defense Electronics Engineering Hiring Event. While we encourage all interested professionals to apply, please note that this is a selection-based interview event for candidates whose skills and experience match our hiring needs. If your background and skill set match these needs, we will reach out with next steps. If selected for an interview, specific opportunities based on your interests, experience, and skill set will be discussed with the hiring team. For candidates not local to the northern New Jersey area, virtual interviews will be accommodated.
BAE Systems is looking for Test Engineering Assistants to work as part of a cross-functional, multi-disciplinary team to integrate, debug, and test sophisticated, next generation digital EW systems. We are seeking Test Engineering Assistants to Integrate and Test the full capabilities of our RFEW systems that detect, identify, locate, and counter RF threats.
If you join our Electronic Combat Systems engineering team you will join a growing dynamic group of engineers developing leading edge EW capabilities built with state-of-the-art electronics. BAE Systems seeks all levels of experience and will mentor more junior test engineering assistants and provide more challenging assignments to our most senior test engineering assistants. At BAE Systems our products operate in extreme environments spanning air, land, sea, and space; we are developing the technology of tomorrow, delivered today. We put our customers first - exemplified by our mission: "We Protect Those Who Protect Us®."
Summary:
The Test Engineering Assistant provides advanced support for Electronic Warfare (EW) system integration and testing within a System Integration Lab environment. This role assists engineering teams by executing test procedures, operating and maintaining RF/electronic test equipment, troubleshooting hardware and software issues, and ensuring accurate documentation of test results to support system verification and validation activities.
In this Test Engineering Assistant position you will make impacts in the following ways;
  • Support Electronic Warfare system integration efforts including setup, configuration, and troubleshooting of hardware components, software loads, RF subsystems, cables, harnesses, and test fixtures.
  • Execute detailed engineering test procedures to evaluate system functionality, RF performance, subsystem interoperability, and mission-specific behaviors.
  • Operate and maintain a wide range of electronic and RF test equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, signal generators, and digital acquisition tools.
  • Collect, validate, and organize technical data; assist engineers with evaluating results, identifying anomalies, and maintaining test traceability.
  • Perform system-level troubleshooting and assist with fault isolation and root-cause analyses for hardware, software, and RF-related issues.
  • Maintain lab readiness by tracking equipment inventory, coordinating calibrations, documenting configuration changes, and supporting adherence to lab processes.
  • Ensure compliance with all safety, security, and documentation requirements.
  • Create and maintain test logs, configuration records, setup diagrams, and work instructions.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to support verification, validation, and acceptance test activities.

This position will require you to be onsite at our Wayne , NJ or Totowa, NJ location. Because of the need for consistent, in-person collaboration and/or the requirement to perform all work onsite due to the nature of this particular role, it will be performed full-time on site. This means work will be conducted on location at a BAE Systems facility 100% of the time.
