• Coordinate test schedules between the program, ranges, agencies, and support teams.
• Analyze system requirements and recommend test methods and test approach.
• Review all test reports from internal and external agencies; identify trends, deficiencies, and improvements.
• Support the development of daily test and status reports.
• Identify test and evaluation (T&E) associated risks and provide input for risk resolution and mitigation.
What We're Looking For

• Proficiency with the Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook).
• Active Secret security clearance, with the ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret clearance.
Preferred
• Master's degree in a relevant field.
• Prior experience with the Marine Air Defense Integrated System (MADIS) Family of Systems.
