Naval Research Laboratory, DC (On/Off-Site)
SG2 Recruiting seeks an Integration and Test Lead to support a Naval Center for Space Technology (NCST) contract. The NCST is located at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, DC, and the leading laboratory for Navy space programs. NCST’s mission is to “preserve and enhance a strong space technology base and provide expert capabilities in the development and acquisition of space systems which support Naval missions.”
For the last 25 years, the NCST has developed, enhanced, and maintained a collection of software used for design, development, test, launch, and mission operations of DoD space assets. This software is constantly being enhanced to provide state of the art solutions to space applications. The core suite of software components are used in all aspects of the spacecraft or component life-cycle.
What You Will Be Doing:
Developing, maintaining, and enhancing complex and diverse software systems based upon documented requirements.
Providing specific input to the software components of a system design to include hardware/software trade-offs, software reuse, use of COTS/GOTS in place of new development, and requirements analysis and synthesis from system level to individual software components.
Designing, implementing, and integrating software applications or performing software engineering tasks.
Utilizing software engineering and design methodologies appropriate to the development, integration, and production environment.
Ensuring efficient delivery of software engineering capabilities using industry standards and repeatable processes.
Mitigating risks, controlling costs and schedule variance, and effectively managing large scale, integrated software projects.
Reviewing and testing software components for adherence to the design requirements and documenting test results.
Providing electrical engineering expertise to analyze complex electrical systems, electrical-design, architecture, procurement, testing, and other electrical issues.
Integrating electrical components into complex hardware and software designs.
Organizing and directing electrical installation, maintenance, support, documentation, and testing activities.
Preparing reports and recommendations concerning existing and emerging electrical technologies based on users’ requirements.
Designing, developing, testing, and deploying embedded GSE software.
Modifying, enhancing, and creating device-specific interfaces for real-time data collection and GSE control by understanding the internals of the real-time operating systems (RTOS).
Configuring the RTOS-based GSE, the C2 software-based test system, the application-specific interfaces, and the spacecraft hardware unit under test for performance, environmental, and acceptance testing.
Designing, developing, and configuring management of automated procedures that are used during integration and testing in order to use proven and tested sequences during launch and mission operations.
Modifying the software source code and automated procedures to replace the GSE interfaces and simulation practices with real-time operational data in order to create operational procedures.
What You Will Need (Requirements):
Active TS/SCI clearance
Minimum B.Sc., Aerospace, Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, Physics, Computer
Science or Mathematics
Extensive experience with spacecraft operations and test.
Extensive experience in directing teams of software engineers in the design and development of integration and test systems and procedures.
Ability to commute daily to Naval Research Lab location in Washington, DC
