This role involves managing the full test engineering process for a System-of-Systems, including requirements, planning, safety reviews, and execution. You will serve as a government point of contact, coordinate testing at private and government ranges, and manage hardware-in-the-loop lab-based ground tests. Key responsibilities include performing data analysis, documenting results, and designing live-virtual-constructive scenarios to stress systems without live assets. The role requires a Top Secret Security Clearance and expertise in systems engineering or software development. Preferred skills include proficiency in C++ and Python for data analysis, familiarity with LVC frameworks, and experience with hardware integration lab test benches.

What you'll do

  • Develop and execute test plans for hardware-in-the-loop lab-based ground tests under minimal supervision.
  • Coordinate and manage the execution of testing at private and government-owned test ranges.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for government partners to coordinate test objectives and requirements.
  • Perform initial data analysis on systems under test and provide detailed reports to engineering teams.
  • Design and implement live-virtual-constructive (LVC) scenarios to stress systems without requiring live assets.
  • Conduct testing of classified capabilities in unclassified settings while maintaining strict security protocols.
  • Integrate formal T&E processes into the program lifecycle to ensure consistent adherence to company policy.
  • Ensure the safe operation of all testing efforts by following established safety procedures and practices.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering, business, or a related technical field from an accredited institution.
  • Current Top Secret Security Clearance.
  • 10+ years of experience in technical program or project management, engineering management, engineering, or comparable skill.
  • Strong technical background with familiarity in systems engineering and/or software development.
  • Ability to execute the full test engineering process for a System-of-Systems with little to no oversight.
  • Experience producing customer-facing test deliverables and communicating them to various stakeholders.
  • Experience as a test conductor or director while executing testing, including ground test campaigns in hardware/software integration labs.
  • Experience with DoD/IC (preferred); experience in C++, Python, LVC frameworks, or designing hardware lab benches (preferred).
