THIS JOB IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. THIS IS ARCHIVAL INFORMATION.
Software Engineer

Description:
Test Planning and Execution - Software Engineer
Candidate will join a Mission Systems (MS) Test Planning and Execution Team within an Integration and Test (I&T) Organization responsible for the I&T of Tactical Aviation MS capabilities. This System Test team operates in a MS context, but may also interface with Vehicle System teams to solve system-of-system level challenges. This team is responsible for all system level testing of some very exciting Tactical Aviation MS efforts spanning an extremely diverse array of capabilities and contexts. While this team regularly operates in both hardware (HW) and SW I&T activities, a greater percentage of the candidate’s time would be devoted to evaluating MS SW capabilities (running both within the DevSecOps pipeline and on target MS HW). This includes both mission-related capabilities and core infrastructure capabilities.

Candidate will spend a majority of their time deployed to multi-disciplinary Agile Capability Thread Teams representing the domain of System Test in a team creating MS SW Capabilities from cradle to grave comprised of members from Systems Engineering, I&T, Hardware SMEs, and SW Development (no domain silos allowed!). The remainder of time will be spent working broader tasks supporting program-wide testing. Candidate will execute I&T activities in a lab environment, evaluate MS functionality, document results, assist SW Developers and Subsystem SMEs with diagnosis/troubleshooting, and support the constant adherence to a Digital Thread. Candidate will be required to fully embrace and help champion widespread system level test automation. Candidate must also be comfortable operating as a self-sufficient test representative to their cross-functional Agile team on behalf of the entire TP&E team.

In addition to authoring and executing tests, tasks may also include furthering our test automation framework, creating flight/threat simulation scenarios, troubleshooting issues discovered during system test alongside SW developers, working with pilots and end-users on operational relevance, learning some high-level scripting languages such as creating behavior-driven test scripts used by Cucumber Test as a tool to achieve an overall objective of a highly-automated test program, integrating/troubleshooting hardware (both aviation MS HW and lab infrastructure HW), creating and iteratively evolving brand new processes and methodologies for operating a modern Agile continuous-test program, exploring and integrating Application Program Interfaces (APIs) to support a seamless digital thread from initial requirements through verification/delivery, and will support numerous diverse classified initiatives.

Candidate must be willing to learn new and eclectic technical skills outside of their comfort-zone and be open-minded to diving into whatever technical challenges need attention in their periphery (think “jack-of-all-trades”).

Candidate must also have the communication and leadership ability to assist a team of multidisciplinary engineers to quickly navigate from an envisioned future concept to a comprehensive set of Mission Systems-Level test procedures that ensure requirements fulfillment, operational relevance, and SW stability/reliability. External and customer interaction will be required. Candidate must be open-minded to embracing new approaches to continuously integrating, testing, and delivering aviation MS relative to legacy waterfall programs. Candidate should expect to be asked at times to conduct business in vastly revolutionary ways than to which they are accustomed. Candidate must have strong technical background and excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

The successful candidate will need to pass a security screening before interview. Must be a US Citizen. This position is located at a facility that requires special access and a security clearance.
