About The Position

SimTech, Inc. is seeking a mid-level Test Engineer/Analyst to join its team in Huntsville, Alabama. The role involves working with real-time hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) systems, tactical software and hardware, and digital representations of complex missile defense systems. The position supports test and analysis work across missile defense systems and related projects, including performance analysis, modeling and simulation, post-flight reconstruction, and integration and risk-reduction efforts. The selected candidate will design and develop analysis tools, develop and maintain test cases for software and system integration, apply established systems engineering principles, and document test-case results in software and hardware test reports. The role also includes developing system requirements, communicating complex system behaviors through reports and briefings, and supporting customers and engineering teams in field, test-range, office, and laboratory environments. Travel may be required, potentially including extended deployments to remote or austere locations.

Requirements

Bachelor's or master's degree in engineering or a related technical discipline from an accredited institution, or equivalent experience.
