## Description

As a Test and Evaluation Engineer, you'll use your experience to work with testers, developers, and engineers to evaluate software developed for the Department of Navy. You'll create a test plan with test cases based on user stories. Using automated and manual processes, you'll generate data and implement the test cases to observe how the software performs, then document the results and communicate defects to the development team so they can start improving the tool.

You'll automate continuous security and performance testing and monitor the health of a Navy system. This is an opportunity to supercharge your skills by writing the code to test. You'll also broaden your experience in large scale systems while sharing your testing experience with your team. Work with us as we develop software solutions to secure our defense networks.

As a Test and Evaluation Engineer, you'll serve as a member of a multidisciplinary product team responsible for planning, conducting, documenting, and improving engineering test and evaluation activities for assigned products, systems, subsystems, support equipment, hardware assemblies, and associated technical documentation. You will work directly for the Product Owner within a SAFe Agile delivery environment. You'll convert product objectives, user needs, system requirements, and acceptance criteria into measurable test activities and objective evidence that supports technical decisions, product increments, configuration-control decisions, and government acceptance. The position integrates engineering, test, logistics, configuration management, fabrication, documentation, and stakeholder inputs to ensure delivered capabilities are technically sound, traceable to approved requirements, supportable, and ready for operational use.
