## Description

Are you ready to shape the next generation of airborne defense systems? We're seeking a Senior Test Engineer to take a leading role in the testing and validation of cutting-edge military technologies. This position supports a high-priority defense program focused on delivering real-time, mission-critical data to military decision-makers and operators. From lab integration to flight testing, you'll be central to the success of the program.Key Responsibilities:Develop and manage the programs Test & Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP) in alignment with system architecture, mission objectives, and development milestones.Define test entry/exit criteria, traceability metrics, and align activities with integrated release schedules.Design and manage System Integration Lab (SIL) environments to simulate real-world aircraft systems.Lead automation efforts using tools like Python, Jenkins, Robot Framework, IXIA, and Spirent.Plan and execute developmental and operational tests, including test documentation, safety approvals, and on-site issue resolution.Monitor telemetry data and system logs; identify and troubleshoot anomalies in real-time.Conduct performance analysis and generate after-action reports.Evaluate encryption timing, communication reliability, and system interoperability.Embed test coverage into CI/CD pipelines to catch issues early in the development process.Promote a test-first approach during design phases through model-based reviews.Mentor junior engineers and collaborate with security, safety, and compliance teams to ensure testing meets military certification standards.Required Qualifications:U.S. CitizenshipActive TS/SCI clearanceBachelors in Electrical, Aerospace, or Computer Engineering (Masters preferred)15+ years of experience testing DoD systems, from lab environments to full-scale flight testingProficiency in avionics or communication system testingFamiliarity with automated testing tools and data analysis platforms (MATLAB, Pandas, JMP)Understanding of military EMI/EMC and environmental testing standardsPreferred:Experience with tactical networks or command and control (C2) systemsBackground in Type-1 encryption, RMF, and secure communicationsFlight-test certifications and Agile/Scrum/SAFe methodologiesExposure to Model-Based Testing
