Sustainment Test and Evaluation Engineer, Junior

Sustainment Test and Evaluation Engineer, Junior

The Opportunity:

When a user tries new software, they expect it to be intuitive and run smoothly. Functionality, reliability, and user experience are key to successful software development—and that means rigorous testing. That’s why we need you, a test engineer who knows how to thoroughly test software and work with developers to make sure our team releases the best software possible.

As a test engineer on our team, you’ll work with testers and engineers as part of a team evaluating software developed for the DoD. You’ll help develop a test plan with test cases based on user stories. Using hands on 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.

We are looking for an innovative, creative, and highly motivated individual to support a MILSATCOM Program Office managing a diverse set of strategic and tactical MILSATCOM systems and infrastructure. The candidate will provide test and evaluation and terminal operations support of a diverse set of strategic and tactical MILSATCOM systems and infrastructure.

The MILSATCOM Systems Engineering, Integration, and Test (MSEIT) effort provides leading edge Systems Engineering and Integration (SE&I) for an Air Force client. We support the Air Force’s acquisition of state-of-the-art Military Satellite Communications systems, providing global secure, survivable, and protected communications for our nation’s warfighters. We seek technical individuals who will thrive in a highly collaborative work environment of small teams, using the most modern tools and methodologies to tackle the challenges of integrating complex space and ground communications systems.
