Job description

Experteer Overview In this role you support modernization of a wideband satellite ground configuration, driving system upgrades for upcoming launches. You operate within a fast-paced, modified-agile team to plan and execute end-to-end system testing across complex, interacting subsystems. You will craft V&V activities for hardware prototypes and onboard software, and develop reusable test automation. You’ll collaborate across software, hardware, and systems teams to enable reliable, interoperable operations and continuous improvement. Compensation / Benefits * Plan and execute system-of-systems test coordination across multiple environments * Develop test plans ensuring coverage of legacy functionality and modernized architecture * Perform legacy impact analysis and assess regression risks for OS, hardware, and software upgrades * Own verification and validation activities for hardware prototypes and onboard software * Create reusable test automation scripts and data analysis tools in Python or C++ * Design test campaigns spanning simulation and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) setups * Analyze test data, document defects, and communicate findings to cross-functional teams * Apply end-to-end testing methodologies to ensure performance, reliability, and interoperability * Decompose complex requirements into executable user stories for modified-agile development * Establish and support system-level management interfaces across subsystems * Develop and maintain risk and opportunity baselines for the system under test * Collaborate with systems engineers, developers, and stakeholders to align testing with project goals * Support ongoing maintenance and enhancement of delivered systems and test processes/tools Tasks * 5+ years in software integration, test, validation, and verification * 5+ years of experience with web service integrations (REST and SOAP APIs) * 3+ years in software integration and end-to-end testing methodologies * Proven ability to plan and execute system-of-systems test coordination across environments * Strong systems engineering skills for designing and maintaining complex systems * Proficiency in Python for test automation, scripting, and data analysis * Proficiency in C++ for test automation and software validation * Experience in HIL test campaigns * Ability to perform legacy system impact analysis and assess regression risk * Strong problem-solving and communication skills * Ability to work in a fast-paced, modified-agile environment * Eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret Security Clearance Key requirements * Medical, dental & vision * 401(k) Retirement Plan * Life Insurance (Voluntary Life & AD&D) * Short and long-term disability * Health Spending Account (HSA) * Paid Time Off/Leave
