As a Test Engineer, you'll work with the U.S. Space Force to develop and rapidly deploy the next generation of resilient Missile Warning (MW), Tactical Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (TISR), and Environmental Monitoring (EM) capabilities to deter attacks and provide critical information to our warfighters. Your customer will trust you to not only test, analyze, evaluate, verify, and validate these systems, but also identify areas requiring urgent mitigation up-front and early to develop this system with advanced technology solutions. Grow your skills by merging innovative engineering methodologies and cross-disciplinary coordination to create tomorrow's solutions.
Required Skills and Experience:
- 6+ years of experience working/planning on test and evaluation, and system integration on Major Defense Acquisition Programs, including complex ground software, and hardware systems
- 6+ years of experience working in a collaborative team environment, developing test strategies, plans, reports, and briefings, and participating in test execution, verification, or analysis
- Experience supporting overall engineering integration of systems engineering and integration efforts for the DoD, government agencies, or commercial programs
- Knowledge of systems engineering standards, including IEEE 15288.1 and IEEE 15288.2
- Ability to define, develop, maintain, and execute large-scale system test plans and overarching test and evaluation strategy documents, including Test and Evaluation Strategy (TES), Test and Evaluation Master Plans (TEMP), System Integration Test Plans (SITP), Enterprise Verification Plans (EVP), Verification Cross Reference Matrices (VCRM), and Requirements Verification Files (RVFs)
- Ability to communicate and establish collaborative relationships with government clients, Federally Funded Research and Developmental Centers (FFRDC), and associate contractor teammates to achieve program goals
- Secret clearance
- Bachelor's degree in an Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or Technology field
Nice If You Have:
- Experience performing systems engineering, integration, and testing on ground-based remote sensing systems
- Experience with portfolio and program verification, interoperability, validation and certification, and operational acceptance
- Experience planning, executing, and reporting testing on behalf of the Lead Developmental Test Organization or the Operational Test Agency.
- Experience planning and executing program reviews throughout the lifecycle of the system
- Experience using Model-Based Systems Engineering tools to manage system definitions and technical baselines
- Knowledge of DoD 5000.01, 5000.02, 5000.89, 5000.98 or 5000.100
- TS/SCI clearance
- Master's degree in an Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or Technology field
- CTEP or INCOSE Systems Engineering Professional Certifications such as ASEP, CSEP, or ESEP Certification
Compensation:
$86,000-$195,000 based on years of experience, knowledge, education, and contract-specific affordability.
