Responsibilities
- Test Planning and Development:
- Develop detailed test plans, test cases, and procedures based on system requirements and specifications.
- Coordinate and execute tests for hardware, software, and integrated systems supporting advanced air platform technologies.
- Test Execution and Data Collection:
- Perform functional, performance, and stress testing in laboratory and operational environments (e.g., Hardware-in-the-Loop, Software-in-the-Loop, flight tests).
- Collect, analyze, and interpret test data to evaluate system performance and identify gaps or defects.
- System Validation and Operational Readiness:
- Validate system functionality, including sensors, communications, avionics, and mission systems, ensuring readiness for operational deployments.
- Conduct regression testing to confirm software and hardware updates meet requirements without introducing new issues.
- Defect Identification and Resolution:
- Troubleshoot system failures and document test discrepancies, working with cross-functional teams to develop solutions.
- Track corrective actions and risks to ensure all issues are resolved prior to system delivery.
- Compliance and Integration:
- Ensure test procedures align with DoD testing standards, frameworks, and cybersecurity requirements (e.g., RMF, MIL-STD).
- Collaborate within an Integrated Product Team (IPT) to address system integration challenges and ensure seamless operation across subsystems.
- Technical Reporting and Documentation:
- Prepare and deliver technical reports, test summaries, and presentation materials for program leadership, engineers, and stakeholders.
- Maintain test records and configuration management to support system sustainment and compliance auditing.
Qualifications
Required
