## Description

Dobbs Defense Solutions is supporting mission-critical interoperability testing efforts that ensure U.S. Navy and Joint Force systems communicate effectively in operational environments. This position directly supports warfighter readiness through the planning, execution, and evaluation of complex DoD interoperability and test events.
We are seeking an experienced Senior Test & Evaluation (T&E) Lead to support Maritime Interoperability (IOP) programs within a classified government environment. This is a high-impact leadership opportunity for a candidate with strong experience in DoD testing, systems integration, operational testing, and interoperability evaluation. Duties:

 * Responsible for the design and implementation of IOP test planning documentation to determine system under test (SUT) IOP requirements standards and criteria are met. Documentation to support this effort includes requirements analysis plans, data management analysis plans, and IOP evaluation plans.
 * Review applicable SUT requirements documents (e.g., Initial Capabilities Documents (ICDs), Capability Development Documents (CDDs), Capability Production Documents (CPDs), Information Support Plans (ISPs), Test and Evaluation Master Plans (TEMPs), Concept of Operations (CONOPs), etc.) to ensure user requirements and criteria are correctly documented and included early in the T&E planning process.
 * Ensure IOP test requirements, test scenarios and test scripts adequately cover Key Performance Parameters (KPPs).
 * Responsible for developing and maintaining data collection and data management processes.
 * Assist the IOP T&E Event Director in collection of real-time test data, analysis of test results and drafting thorough, accurate, and complete formal test documentation.
