Senior Test Engineer - Must have an Active TS/SCI clearance

An advanced aerospace and defense integrator is seeking a Senior Test Engineer to lead the verification, validation, and flight-test strategy for a mission-critical airborne system. This is a full-time opportunity requiring a strong test engineering background supporting DoD C4ISR, avionics, or tactical communications systems. The role supports a major modernization effort through FY25–27 and requires an active TS/SCI clearance.

This position will lead the design and execution of testing efforts from lab checkout to flight validation, helping ensure operational readiness for next-generation airborne data systems. It’s a hands-on and highly collaborative position ideal for senior-level test engineers ready to make a mission impact across digital and physical environments.

Required Skills & Experience

• U.S. Citizenship and active TS/SCI clearance

• B.S. in Aerospace, Electrical, or Computer Engineering (or related discipline); M.S. preferred

• 15+ years of DoD system-of-systems test engineering, spanning lab-to-flight test integration

• Experience leading Developmental Test (DT) and Operational Test (OT) for avionics or comms systems

• Strong understanding of test automation frameworks and scripting (Python, Robot Framework, Jenkins, Ansible)

• Hands-on use of test instrumentation and analysis tools (e.g., MATLAB, Pandas, JMP)

• Familiarity with environmental and EMI/EMC standards (e.g., MIL?STD?810, MIL?STD?461, RCC 324)

Desired Skills & Experience

• Experience supporting ABMS, CJADC2, OMS/UCI, or data link programs

• Familiarity with Type-1 crypto, cross-domain solutions, and RMF/eMASS processes

• Flight-test credentials such as USAF TPS graduate or FAA DER

• Experience with Agile/Scrum or SAFe methodologies

• Knowledge of Model-Based Test or integration with MBSE workflows

What You Will Be Doing

Tech Breakdown:

• 40% Test Strategy, TEMP, and Architecture

• 30% SIL Operations, Automation, and Lab Readiness

• 20% Flight Test Leadership

• 10% Data Analysis & Stakeholder Reporting

Daily Responsibilities:
