About The Position

The Test and Evaluation Engineer works on a multidisciplinary product team to plan, conduct, document, and improve engineering test and evaluation activities for assigned products, systems, subsystems, support equipment, hardware assemblies, and associated technical documentation. Working directly for the Product Owner in a SAFe Agile delivery environment, the engineer turns product objectives, user needs, system requirements, and acceptance criteria into measurable tests and objective evidence. This evidence supports technical decisions, product increments, configuration-control decisions, and government acceptance. The role integrates engineering, test, logistics, configuration management, fabrication, documentation, and stakeholder input to ensure delivered capabilities are technically sound, traceable to approved requirements, supportable, and ready for operational use. The engineer works with testers, developers, and other engineers to evaluate software developed for the Department of Navy. Responsibilities include creating test plans and user-story-based test cases; generating data and executing manual and automated tests; observing software performance; documenting results; and communicating defects to development teams. The role also automates continuous security and performance testing and monitors the health of a Navy system.

Requirements

At least 3 years of experience supporting engineering test and evaluation, systems integration, verification and validation, hardware testing, or systems engineering.
