• Conduct system of systems tests, including space-to-ground or cross-segment integration
• Communicate and collaborate with government clients, FFRDCs, prime development contractors, and test organizations to achieve program goals
• Perform requirements decomposition and allocation, develop test scenarios, and validate interface requirements
• Execute tests, perform data analysis, generate comprehensive test reports, and identify areas requiring urgent mitigation
• Use Model-Based Systems Engineering tools and Digital Engineering (DE) models to trace requirements to verification activities
• Support interoperability test and evaluation programs, plan and coordinate integrated and combined test activities, and perform Independent Verification & Validation (IV&V)

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in test and evaluation, verification, or system integration on Major Defense Acquisition Programs
• 5+ years of experience supporting Government developmental test and evaluation (DT&E) programs as part of the Lead Development Test Organization (LDTO)
• Experience planning, executing, and reporting DT&E activities in support of certification of readiness to proceed to operational testing per AFI 99-103, including test procedures and artifacts IAW AFMAN 63-119
• Experience conducting system of systems tests for space-to-ground or cross-segment integration
• Ability to understand and decompose system requirements and interface specifications, allocate requirements to testable elements, define systems under test (SUT), develop test criteria, establish acceptance criteria and success metrics, and conduct Test Readiness Reviews (TRR)

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, or a technology field
• Secret clearance

Skills

• Strong understanding of systems engineering standards including IEEE 15288.1 and IEEE 15288.2
• Experience with LDTO leadership roles, coordination with operational test agencies, weapon system certification (ITW/AA), organizing JRMET meetings, and generating Deficiency Reports (DR) per AFI 99-103
• Experience with test data analysis techniques, including statistical analysis, anomaly identification, and performance assessment against requirements
• Experience with Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) systems, missile warning systems, or space-based remote sensing systems, with direct experience on Next Gen OPIR, NGG, NGP, FORGE, RGS or related Space-Based IR Sensing programs such as SBIRS, SGEO, or SHEO
• Experience with interoperability test and evaluation programs, planning and coordinating integrated and combined test activities for major capability deliveries, and portfolio or program verification, validation, certification, and operational acceptance
• Experience using Model-Based Systems Engineering tools (DOORS, MagicDraw) to manage system definitions, technical baselines, and requirements verification on Government classified networks
• Experience conducting Independent Verification & Validation (IV&V) of software and database releases
• Knowledge of DoD 5000 series such as 5000.01, 5000.02, 5000.89, 5000.98, or 5000.100, MIL-STD-3022, and DoDAF architecture framework
