BAE Systems is looking for an Enterprise Test Lead to work on a multi-disciplinary team in an Agile, fast-paced development environment. This candidate will support the vision, strategy, planning and ongoing support for the development, deployment, and sustainment of an Enterprise Data, Applications and Platform (EDAP) system. Assigned tasks may include the development of Test Plans, Test Procedures, integration and requirement sell-off. The Test Engineer will coordinate with the EDAP Technical Team to accomplish program tasks, provide technical solutions, and support system integration on the program.
The objective of the program is to procure, design, develop, integrate, test, deploy and sustain software in the EDAP system. The EDAP system will run on a variety of networks and security domains. These software capabilities will also leverage services provided by the Cloud across multiple domains. The capabilities delivered will need to be modular, resilient and able to operate in any cloud based environment. The ideal candidate will have experience leading the testing and integration of complex and large software development projects. This position requires support of customer meetings and operational system deployment and support activities.
Our engineers are the lifeblood of our company and we're more than 5,000 strong. With our robust offering of educational and career development opportunities, your chances to grow are limitless.
Because of the need for consistent, in-person collaboration and/or the requirement to perform all work onsite due to the nature of this particular role, it will be performed fulltime on site. This means work will be conducted on location at a BAE Systems facility 100% of the time.
