## Description

We're seeking a hands-on Systems Integration & Test Engineer to support a government customer across a hardware-intensive, mission-focused environment. This role centers on testing, validating, documenting, and supporting software integrated with a complex system involving sensors, effectors, network equipment, communication radios, and edge computing devices. You will work directly with mission users and developers to ensure the system performs reliably in operational contexts. This position is located in Fort Belvoir, VA.

What You'll Work On:

 * Perform functional system testing, end-to-end integration testing, regression testing, and fault-tolerance testing using real hardware components.
 * Operate and understand sensors, effectors, radios, network gear, and edge computing systems to validate behavior of integration-level software.
 * Execute tests for software including AI/ML-enabled features.
 * Produce highly structured, clear, repeatable documentation, including test plans, procedures, results, discrepancies, and system behavior notes.
 * Write and maintain technical documentation supporting developers and mission partners.
 * Assist software teams with general documentation and content development needs.
 * Use modern DevSecOps tools such as GitLab, Jira, or CI pipelines.
 * File high-quality bug reports and submit merge requests (MRs) when appropriate.
 * Perform limited MR reviews for correctness and completeness.
 * Work closely with developers, MBSE modelers, field service representatives, and mission users to reproduce issues and validate fixes.
 * Work independently onsite with the government client, proactively identifying issues and communicating status.
 * Coordinate effectively with cross-functional teams and communicate technical insights in clear, user-friendly language.
