Senior System Integration & Test Engineer

About the role

This isn't another defense contractor job. Join a mission-focused engineering team integrating and testing complex RF-, embedded-, hardware-, and software-intensive systems for national defense.

Responsibilities

• Independently own system integration, verification, validation, and test activities for complex defense systems.
• Work directly with complex RF, embedded, hardware, and software systems in laboratory, HWIL, field, and flight-test environments.
• Collaborate directly with Government customers, subcontractors, industry partners, and internal development teams.
• Solve cross-disciplinary integration problems and drive defects, risks, and test-readiness issues to closure.
• Work within a small, highly technical team where individual engineers have visible impact.
• Help transition defense technology from development into validated, operational capability.

Requirements

• U.S. citizenship and an active DoD Secret security clearance with the ability to obtain and maintain TS/SCI.
• Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• 8+ years of progressive experience in systems integration, verification, validation, test engineering, or related systems engineering roles supporting complex hardware- and software-intensive systems within defense or national security programs.
• Demonstrated ability to independently own integration and test activities from benchtop and laboratory integration through HWIL, field testing, and formal Government-sponsored test events.
• Strong background integrating and testing RF, embedded, hardware, and software systems, including troubleshooting complex cross-disciplinary interfaces and system-level failures.
• Experience applying Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools and methodologies to support system definition, interface management, verification, or test activities.
• Proven experience planning, coordinating, and executing verification and validation activities, including laboratory, HWIL, field, and flight-test environments where applicable.
• Experience translating system requirements, technical capabilities, interfaces, and constraints into executable test plans, procedures, verification methods, traceability, acceptance criteria, and detailed test reports.
• Experience identifying integration risks, managing defects and technical action items, performing root-cause analysis, and driving test readiness and issue resolution to closure.
• Strong coordination and communication skills, with experience managing technical interfaces across Government customers, subcontractors, industry partners, and internal development teams, and preparing technical briefings, reports, and customer presentations.

Qualifications

• Strong technical skills in RF, embedded, hardware, and software systems.
• Experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools and methodologies.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
