About The Position

Scientific Research Corporation is seeking a Systems Test and Integration Specialist with strong Department of Defense command-and-control (C2) experience to lead software patch verification, regression testing, and system sustainment. The role includes validating patches and system updates, troubleshooting faults, maintaining virtual-machine baselines, validating security, developing documentation and curricula, delivering instruction, and coordinating with joint-service teams and external program offices.

The specialist plans, schedules, and executes structured test procedures for patches, hotfixes, and cumulative updates before operational release. The position also performs functional regression testing across core components; investigates and documents faults, service failures, and configuration anomalies; checks post-patch security posture and baseline stability; and tracks defects in Jira or an equivalent system. The specialist maintains virtual-machine baseline integrity and prepares standard operating procedures, test plans, checklists, and release validation reports.

The role involves developing curricula for current, follow-on, and future C2 and targeting applications; teaching students from beginners to subject matter experts in classroom, virtual, and over-the-shoulder settings; and coordinating with Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Army, and program-office teams. Work may take place in labs and aboard Navy ships. It includes standing or walking for extended periods, handling and transporting training materials and equipment, working in small spaces aboard ships, and travel up to 25%.
