Test Engineer Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• 7-10 years of technical experience in test design, analysis, and test support in evaluating Electronic Warfare (EW) systems or other technical test and evaluation in an operational environment
• Secret clearance with ability to obtain Top Secret/SCI

Nice To Haves

• Experience with MATLAB and JMP data analysis programs.
• Understanding of Design of Experiments (DoE) fundamentals.
• Possess or can obtain working knowledge of USAF and USSF test and evaluation directives.
• Able to use data reduction tools to analyze raw data and identify signification system deficiencies.
• Understand how to evaluate common system effectiveness and suitability factors including reliability, maintainability, and availability.
• Background in Developmental or Operational Testing.

Responsibilities

• Analyze software and hardware requirements to ensure feasibility of design and applicability to the system under test.
• Develop thorough test procedures and detailed test plans to ensure new hardware or software upgrades are thoroughly tested.
• Generate test reports containing data analyses and recommendations concerning the acceptability of the upgrades and any limitations identified.
• Direct and/or participate in all phases of test management with the emphasis on user requirements, test design and identification of required test tools.
• Analyze recorded data collected during test evaluations and report out independent findings as prescribed by approved guidance.
• Confer with other test team members on the acceptability of the test design, analysis results, or final report documentation and provide feedback on other test activities accomplished within the team.
• Use Matlab and JMP to parse test data and conduct data analysis to determine system performance.
• Research system mission and expected performance parameters to build test scope consisting of relevant Critical Operational Issues, Objectives, and Measures of Effectiveness and Suitability.
• Identify viable and operationally realistic test methods to be used to obtain test data. Methods may include live fire events, virtual events, Hardware-In-The-Loop events, subsystem testing, events involving digital simulations, or other events as needed.
• Develop a test approach that includes adequate data sampling to perform definitive statistical analysis.
• Plan and conduct dry runs to validate expected data collection and data analysis methods.
• Develop documentation to include test plans, test execution procedures, data analysis plans, evaluation reports, and required briefings.
• Create surveys to evaluate system acceptability of documentation, training, safety, and other areas as applicable.
• Direct data collection activities and verify all required evaluation objectives are complete.
• Evaluate data and assess system performance using the collected evaluation data, the validated truth data, and the methodologies and tools developed during evaluation planning.
• Submit deficiency reports when problems are identified that limit system performance or for system enhancements that should be incorporated in future system upgrades.
• Write technical reports to accurately describe results and problems encountered during test events.
• Present evaluation results and recommendations for review and comment, ensure all documents and briefings comply with established guidance.
• Assist other analysts by reviewing and providing constructive comments to planning documents, technical reports, final report briefings or other documents and needed.
