Secret Cleared Test Facility Component Engineer

Insight Global is seeking a Test Facility Component Engineer to oversee the execution of a complex test program for an Integrated Propulsion System (IPS) at a dedicated Compatibility Test Facility in Philadelphia, PA. The selected candidate will support execution of production and pre‑production IPS component testing as part of a highly technical propulsion engineering effort.
The engineer will provide hands‑on, deck‑plate support for main propulsion system (MPS) pre‑production equipment, including propulsion controls and subcomponents, motor drives, and propulsion motors. Support will continue through follow‑on motor module test programs and inter‑module testing activities.

This is an onsite role based in Philadelphia, PA. The position requires completion of a 6–9 month training rotation at another engineering site in CT prior to permanent transfer to Philadelphia. The role supports continuous testing operations, including second and third shift coverage as required. On‑call support outside of standard business hours, including weekends, should be expected. Remote work is generally not supported except under special circumstances. The Test Facility Component Engineer will collaborate closely with IPS component engineering groups to troubleshoot complex technical issues, ensure uninterrupted test execution, and support long‑term system improvements.
