Lead Integration and System Test Engineer

Camgian is seeking a Lead Integration & System Test Engineer to own system-level integration assurance and test readiness for complex software and hardware systems to aid the warfighter. This role ensures that components integrate into a reliable, testable, and releasable system prior to formal QA validation, supported by objective test evidence and clear risk assessment. The Lead Integration & System Test Engineer serves as the single integration authority, responsible for readiness decisions, gating releases from Engineering into QA, and reducing late-stage integration risk. In this role, you will also mentor engineers and help mature integration and system test practices across the organization., * Own system-level integration assurance and test readiness prior to formal QA validation

• Define integration test strategies and develop test plans aligned with system requirements and acceptance criteria
• Execute or coordinate integration testing across software components and full system builds
• Aggregate and assess integration test evidence from component teams and DevQA pipelines
• Ensure traceability between requirements, acceptance criteria, and integration test results
• Identify system integration defects, cross-component issues, and release risks
• Develop and execute scenario-based test environments, including simulation-driven workflows
• Ensure all models used in testing have clearly defined fidelity, assumptions, and limitations
• Document model constraints and their impact on test validity and release readiness
• Coordinate defect resolution across engineering teams
• Conduct formal Test Readiness Reviews (TRRs)
• Produce clear, auditable readiness assessments with documented risks, limitations, and supporting evidence
• Serve as the integration authority gating releases from Engineering into QA based on readiness and risk
• Support QA during formal validation to resolve integration-related issues
• Continuously improve integration, system test processes, and readiness criteria
• Mentor junior engineers and review test plans and results
• Participate in professional development to strengthen technical and leadership skills
