- Develop and review test plans, procedures, and success criteria; ensure traceability to requirements and safety standards (e.g., DO‑178C, ARP‑4754A).
- Manage test data collection, analysis, and reporting; drive corrective actions when anomalies arise.
Program Milestone Readiness
- Serve as the primary “Readiness” owner for critical milestones (e.g., Critical Design Review, System Verification Review, Flight Readiness Review) related to I&T.
- Conduct readiness assessments, risk analyses, and mitigation planning.
- Present status and technical justification to program leadership and customers.
Customer Interaction & Communication
- Act as the senior technical point of contact for customers regarding integration, test results, and system performance.
- Prepare and deliver briefings, technical reports, and post‑test reviews.
- Incorporate customer feedback into test strategy and product improvement plans.
Cross‑Functional Collaboration
- Partner with Systems Engineering, Software Development, Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, Quality, and Program Management to align requirements, designs, and test activities.
- Facilitate data‑product maturity through rigorous verification, validation, and documentation.
Travel & On‑Site Support
- Travel to multiple U.S. test sites (e.g., Florida, Georgia, D.C.) to support hardware setup, test execution, and troubleshooting.
- Provide on‑site technical leadership during flight‑termination and telemetry test campaigns.
The information below reflects the standard job description for this position
Plans, implements, tests, documents, and maintains solutions for the integration and testing of in-house developed and COTS/GOTS components, elements, subsystems and/or systems. Synthesizes customer contractual needs and requirements into system test solutions that acknowledge technical, schedule and cost constraints. Establishes functional and technical specifications and standards, solves hardware/software interface problems, defines input/output parameters, and ensures integration of the entire system or subsystem. Reviews, evaluates and derives requirements for testability, develops and directs preparation and execution of comprehensive test plans, procedures and schedules for complete systems and/or subsystems. Coordinates subsystem and/or system testing activities with programs and other organizations. Performs analysis of test results and prepares comprehensive subsystem and/or system level evaluation reports which verify and validate system performance.
