Test Engineer

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 an experienced test engineer like you 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 lead small groups within multi-disciplinary teams to apply test engineering practices to support the development and acquisition of warfighting systems in various stages of development and acquisition for the Marine Corps. You’ll support technical and engineering tasks on behalf of various Marine Corps program offices, including the requirements and verification traceability matrices (RVTM), test planning, mission profile development, test monitoring, test execution, and test results interpretation. You’ll work with USMC program offices across the spectrum of testing activities, including developmental, operational, live-fire, reliability, and suitability and human factors testing. You’ll develop Test and Evaluation Master Plans (TEMP) in coordination with USMC Program Offices, and lead and support the execution of the Test and Evaluation (T&E) Integrated Product Team (IPT) in the creation of the initial T&E Strategy and T&E Master Plan (TEMP), integrating all the details of this refinement effort. You’ll provide T&E of hardware and software development, including developing and documenting test plans and procedures, conducting testing, and evaluating and documenting results. You’ll conduct analysis to enhance T&E activities, including the review, evaluation, and development of recommendations on T&E strategies, T&E Master Plans, critical operational issues, critical technical parameters, concepts of employment, concepts of operations, operational mode summaries, test plans, test reports, test ideas, and test event issues.
