Test and Evaluation Engineer – Lead

Test and Evaluation Engineer, Lead

The Opportunity: 

When a warfighter tries new equipment and systems, they expect it to be intuitive and run smoothly. Functionality, reliability, and ease of use are key to successful weapons systems—and that means rigorous testing. That’s why we need you, a test & evaluation engineering expert who knows how to thoroughly test systems in an operational environment to make sure weapons systems perform in the real world.  

As a Test and Evaluation (T&E) engineer on our team, you’ll lead your team as they work with operational users, systems engineers, and developers to evolve how the DoD tests weapons systems. You’ll oversee the creation of a test plan with test cases based on real-world scenarios. Using automated and manual processes, you’ll generate data and implement the test cases to observe how the weapons systems perform, then document and communicate the test results.

This is an opportunity to share your skills with a team as they evaluate the effectiveness, suitability, and survivability of DoD’s weapons systems. You’ll also broaden your team’s experience in model-based systems engineering, cybersecurity, modeling and simulation while exploring new areas such as AI and ML engineering that will benefit you, your team, and your client.  

Work with us as we help DoD’s test critical weapons systems in the real world. 

Join us. The world can’t wait.
