Systems Integration and Test Engineer

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Engineering, or a related Science or Mathematics field, plus a minimum of 8 years of relevant work experience; or Master's degree, plus a minimum of 6 years of relevant experience.

• Department of Defense Secret security clearance required at time of hire; U.S. citizenship is required.
• Willingness to travel up to 25% to customer and contractor test ranges (event-driven, typically 1-2 weeks at a time).

Responsibilities

• I&T Lifecycle Ownership: Support the full test and integration lifecycle—plan, integrate, execute, resolve anomalies, and report—for multi-subsystem System-of-Systems capabilities.
• SoS Integration: Support the integration and test strategy; integrate dissimilar subsystems (autonomy, RF/comms, UGV, sUAS, EW, munitions, and fuzing) into a cohesive, demonstrable capability; resolve cross-subsystem interface, timing, and interoperability issues.
• Use-Case & V&V: Support operational use cases and mission threads; develop verification scenarios that exercise end-to-end system behavior against ConOps with formal traceability from requirements through test evidence.
• Test Planning: Support authoring of test plans and procedures across the full test taxonomy—integration, functional, scenario, environmental, acceptance, regression, and qualification—with defined pass/fail criteria.
• Field Execution & Anomaly Resolution: Plan and instrument bench and field tests, lead range execution, and resolve test anomalies to the component level across electronic, mechanical, RF, and software assemblies.
• Test Automation: Define and stand up test automation and data acquisition; script data reduction and post-test analysis (Python); develop automated test sequences where applicable.
• Documentation & Configuration Control: Support authoring and maintain integration guides, ICDs, test procedures, lessons-learned registers, and as-tested configuration baselines; ensure documentation is audit-ready for government milestone reviews.
• Leadership & Reporting: Support test activities across a cross-functional, multi-vendor team in an Agile workflow. Present test readiness reviews, test reports, and validation evidence to program leadership and government customers.

Skills

• Demonstrated I&T experience on complex hardware/software systems—support of test plan authorship, execution, anomaly resolution, and formal reporting.
• Hands-on System-of-Systems integration experience resolving interface, timing, and interoperability issues across dissimilar subsystems.
• Multi-disciplinary integration experience spanning autonomy, RF communications, UGVs, small UAS, electronic warfare, munitions, and fuzes.
• Experience with bench and field instrumentation: oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and data acquisition systems.
• Python scripting for test automation and data reduction.
• Experience with use-case-driven or mission-thread-based V&V campaigns with formal requirements traceability.
• Experience in an Agile environment with Jira and Confluence.
• Ability to support authoring clear, audit-ready technical documentation for engineering and government customer audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

• Defense/aerospace experience with military standards (MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-1316, MIL-STD-882E, MIL-STD-2105).
• RF/communications test experience: waveforms, link testing, tactical/mesh networks, GPS-denied/contested-spectrum operations.
• Electronic warfare test experience: signal collection, jamming/countermeasure characterization, range testing.
• Autonomy, UGV, and small UAS integration and test—perception, navigation, C2, and human-machine teaming.
• Munitions and fuzing experience: setback survivability, safe-and-arm, warhead/effects characterization, lethality testing.
• Environmental and qualification test experience (vibration, shock, thermal, EMI/EMC).
• Test automation framework experience (LabVIEW, TestStand, or equivalent).
• Linux test environments and CI/CD for embedded software test.
• MBSE and digital-engineering traceability tools; experience with VCRMs or VVPs for DoD milestone reviews.
• Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to develop I&T artifacts and capabilities.
• Active DoD Top Secret clearance.
