  • Experience supporting Government developmental test and evaluation (DT&E) programs within a Lead Developmental Test Organization
  • Experience planning, executing, analyzing, and reporting DT&E activities, including operational-test readiness and required test artifacts
  • Experience translating requirements and interface specifications into test objectives, procedures, acceptance criteria, and verification evidence
  • Experience with Test Readiness Reviews, system-of-systems, space-to-ground integration testing, and deficiency management
  • Experience with development of Test and Evaluation Master Plans, System Test Plans, and requirements verification plans and reports
  • Secret clearance
  • Bachelor's degree in a technical field such as Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or Computer Science

Nice If You Have:
  • Experience with OPIR, missile warning, remote sensing, or space-based systems, including Next Gen OPIR, FORGE, RGS, NGG, NGP, SBIRS, or DSP
