Job description

Senior System Integration & Test Engineer
Competitive Salary (Based on Experience and Market Conditions)
Signing Bonus • Equity • Relocation Assistance
Hybrid | Huntsville, AL | Full-Time | 9/80 Schedule
This isn't another defense contractor job.
Join a mission-focused engineering team integrating and testing complex RF-, embedded-, hardware-, and software-intensive systems for national defense. This senior-level individual-contributor role is centered on hands-on system integration, verification, validation, and test execution from benchtop and laboratory environments through HWIL, field testing, and formal Government-sponsored test events, including flight testing where applicable.
Why experienced engineers choose Secmation
  • Own meaningful integration and test activities from early benchtop work through formalGovernment-sponsored test events.
  • Work directly with complex RF, embedded, hardware, and software systems in laboratory, HWIL, field, and flight-test environments.
  • Collaborate directly with Government customers, subcontractors, industry partners, and internal development teams.
  • Solve cross-disciplinary integration problems and drive defects, risks, and test-readiness issues to closure.
  • Work within a small, highly technical team where individual engineers have visible impact.
  • Help transition defense technology from development into validated, operational capability.

What you'll do
Independently own system integration, verification, validation, and test activities for complex defense systems. This is a highly hands-on individual-contributor role focused on technical execution, troubleshooting, test planning, verification, and customer-facing test readiness. The position does not carry formal technical team-lead responsibilities.
You'll work across:
  • Benchtop and laboratory integration through HWIL, field testing, and formal Government-sponsored test events, including flight testing where applicable.
  • Translation of system requirements, technical capabilities, interfaces, and constraints into executable test plans, procedures, verification methods, and objective readiness and acceptance criteria.
  • Integration of complex RF, embedded, hardware, and software subsystems, including cross-disciplinary troubleshooting and root-cause analysis.
  • Technical coordination with Government customers, subcontractors, industry partners, program stakeholders, and internal development teams.
  • Identification and management of integration risks, defects, technical action items, test readiness, and issue resolution through closure.
  • System-level test execution, data analysis, verification evidence, detailed test reporting, and technical briefings to internal leadership and Government customers.

What we're looking for
  • U.S. citizenship and an active DoD Secret security clearance are required, with the ability to obtain and maintain TS/SCI.
  • Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
  • 8+ years of progressive experience in systems integration, verification, validation, test engineering, or related systems engineering roles supporting complex hardware- and software-intensive systems within defense or national security programs.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently own integration and test activities from benchtop and laboratory integration through HWIL, field testing, and formal Government-sponsored test events.
  • Strong background integrating and testing RF, embedded, hardware, and software systems, including troubleshooting complex cross-disciplinary interfaces and system-level failures.
  • Experience applying Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools and methodologies to support system definition, interface management, verification, or test activities.
  • Proven experience planning, coordinating, and executing verification and validation activities, including laboratory, HWIL, field, and flight-test environments where applicable.
  • Experience translating system requirements, technical capabilities, interfaces, and constraints into executable test plans, procedures, verification methods, traceability, acceptance criteria, and detailed test reports.
  • Experienceidentifying integration risks, managing defects and technical action items, performing root-cause analysis, and driving test readiness and issue resolution to closure.
  • Strong coordination and communication skills, with experience managing technical interfaces across Government customers, subcontractors, industry partners, and internal development teams, and preparing technical briefings, reports, and customer presentations.

Compensation & Benefits
  • Competitive salary based on experience and market conditions
  • Signing bonus
  • Company equity
  • Relocationassistance
  • Hybrid 9/80 schedule with every other Friday off
  • Paid time off and flexible work schedules
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance

Work Environment
