 * Demonstrated, hands-on experience in lab integration and test for complex mission system capabilities.
 * Demonstrated experience with system integration and test of sensor capabilities (Radar, EW, EO/IR, CM and/or Fusion) at the system or system-of-systems level.
 * Proven experience leading troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and anomaly resolution for sensor or mission systems.
 * Strong written and verbal communication skills, including communicating technical risk, status, and recommendations to a variety of stakeholders and leadership.

Desired Skills

 * Active program clearances.
 * Advanced degree in an engineering field or STEM discipline.
 * Experience with F-35 Mission Systems capabilities within aircraft platforms.
 * Familiarity with Mission Systems Integration Labs (MSIL).
 * Familiarity with F-35 mission systems and sensor architectures.
 * Experience with software test design, software debug, lab integration, and system-level test.
 * Experience with Linux Operating Systems.
 * Experience with Open System Architecture and Common Systems.
 * Hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) simulation and virtual test venue experience.

## Description

You will be the Systems Integration & Test Engineer Stf for the F-35 Sensor Systems Integration & Test (SI&T) team, which is responsible for mission system capability integration & maturation, verification testing, and regression testing for all F-35 modernization efforts.

What You Will Be Doing

As the Systems Integration & Test Engineer Stf, you will be responsible for technical test planning and execution of the F-35 Sensor Suite, including Radar, Electronic Warfare (EW), Countermeasures (CM), Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) sensors, and Fusion. You will ensure the SI&T process follows prescribed engineering standards and drive continuous improvement of those processes.

Your responsibilities will include:

 * Generating test plans and detailed test procedure documentation.
 * Coordinating test objectives, scope, and execution across agile capability development teams and stakeholder organizations.
 * Conducting system-level testing in hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) and virtual test venues.
 * Providing technical leadership for sensor integration and test activities and serving as a key point of contact for the F-35 Sensor SI&T team.
 * Performing troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and anomaly resolution for sensor-related issues.
 * Reviewing and enhancing SI&T engineering processes for continuous improvement.
 * Supporting occasional second shift and weekend work as required.
