## Description

Precise Systems delivers integrated, mission-ready solutions that advance warfighter readiness and strengthen our nation's most critical defense programs. Through the power of our combined capabilities, we provide deep expertise in Advanced Engineering; Digital Transformation; Electromagnetic Warfare; Interactive Training & Simulation; Physical Sciences Research; Platform Lifecycle Support; and Foreign Military Sales. Unified by decades of trusted performance and expanded through strategic growth, our team applies innovative technologies, engineering rigor, and customer-focused execution to solve complex challenges and accelerate mission success. Guided by our commitment to partnership, precision, and performance, we deliver the scalable solutions and technical excellence our customers depend on-today and into the future.
We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Test Engineer to lead and support the planning, execution, direction, analysis, and reporting of experimental, developmental, and operational testing for advanced Navy capabilities. This role builds upon core test engineering functions by providing senior-level leadership across complex test events, cross-functional technical teams, and operational stakeholders. The candidate will support testing across operational, HWIL, virtual, and other relevant environments while helping evaluate system performance, identify risks, document findings, and inform capability development. The role requires the ability to bridge operational, technical, and executive audiences while supporting efforts involving mission engineering, fires, modeling and simulation, data analytics, communications systems, tactical networks, datalinks, and Aegis Weapon System-related capabilities, as applicable.
This role requires in-person support.
Duties:

 + Lead and support planning, execution, direction, documentation, and reporting for experimental, developmental, and operational test events across operational, hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL), virtual, and other applicable environments.
 + Develop and coordinate test objectives, procedures, schedules, data collection plans, test reports, briefings, after-action materials, and other deliverables to ensure test activities are organized, traceable, and aligned to program objectives.
 + Serve as a senior test lead during operational test events by coordinating participants, managing execution flow, tracking issues, capturing observations, and ensuring results are clearly documented and communicated.
 + Coordinate cross-functional teams of engineers, developers, operators, analysts, and program personnel to support integrated testing of complex Navy capabilities across technical and operational environments.
 + Apply experience with mission engineering, fires, modeling and simulation, and data analytics to help inform system design, operational concepts, test objectives, performance assessments, and risk-based recommendations.
 + Support testing and evaluation of communications systems, routing, broadcast capabilities, tactical networks, datalinks, and Aegis Weapon System (AWS) related capabilities, as applicable to program needs.
 + Provide leadership and management support within team-of-teams environments by coordinating priorities, tracking action items, communicating status, supporting issue resolution, and mentoring less experienced test personnel.
 + Communicate test objectives, execution status, technical findings, operational impacts, risks, and recommendations clearly across operational, technical, program management, and executive audiences.
