Join us in shaping a new era in space and find a career that's built for you!
As a Systems Integration & Test Engineer, you will plan and execute the integration test program for the Eastern Range Sustainment Electrical Test Team. You will develop test documentation and maintain solutions for integrating and testing components, elements, subsystems, and systems. Occasional travel will be required.
You will be required to complete On The Job Training (OJT) in order to become a Certified Test Conductor (CTC).
In the role you will:
- Lead test efforts, including test equipment specification and system element simulator development, to ensure mission success for Eastern Range Integration.
- Plan, implement, test, document, and maintain solutions for both in‑house developed and COTS/GOTS components, elements, subsystems, and systems.
- Synthesize customer contractual needs and requirements into test solutions that respect technical, schedule, and cost constraints.
- Establish functional and technical specifications, resolve hardware/software interface issues, define input/output parameters, and ensure proper integration of the entire system or subsystem.
- Review, evaluate, and derive testability requirements; develop and direct comprehensive test plans, procedures, and schedules for complete systems or subsystems.
- Coordinate subsystem and system testing activities with program teams and other organizations.
- Analyze test results and prepare thorough subsystem and system‑level evaluation reports that verify and validate performance.
- Write discrepancy reports and conduct integration regression testing to confirm that fixes to software, components, subsystems, and systems are properly validated.
- Conduct Engineering Review Boards (ERBs)
Basic Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Aerospace, or Computer Engineering (or an equivalent combination of education and experience).
