The Opportunity:

Grow your software engineering career with meaningful impact as a Software Integration and Test engineer working in the space domain!

We are seeking a Software Integration and Test (SWIT) Engineer who wants to solve interesting, complex problems to protect our nation. As a SWIT engineer on this team, you will work in a team environment to design, develop, and implement test plans and procedures for software (SW) requirement verification & validation. You will be responsible for SW integration, requirement analysis, test planning and execution, performance analysis, troubleshooting and coordination for remediating software defects

In this role you will write test procedure scripts in Perl, Python, Linux, and with automated software test tools. In support of the test execution leads, you will conduct test walk throughs, and communicate plans, status and out-briefs with the IPT leads, team members, and the customer.

If you're passionate about technology, ready to grow beyond junior-level work, and excited to make an impact on space mission systems, we would love to hear from you!

What makes this role exciting:

Deliver features independently - take ownership of well-scoped features from implementation through deployment

Expand your expertise - work with modern technologies (Python, Java, Spring Boot, React, AWS/Azure, Kubernetes) with increasing complexity

Collaborate and learn - work alongside senior and staff engineers who will help you level up your skills

Space domain impact - build software that directly supports critical space missions

If you're ready to take the next step in your career, build increasingly complex software, and contribute to systems that matter, let's talk!

Responsibilities:
Deliver Features with Increasing Independence Implement full‑stack features with clear requirements, breaking work into steps and identifying integration points. Drive features through review, testing, and deployment while raising integration issues and edge cases early.

Create thorough unit and integration tests, debug issues, and contribute meaningfully in code reviews.

Support Junior Team Members Assist junior engineers through questions, pairing, and sharing best practices for troubleshooting and integration.

Provide constructive code reviews and help onboard new team members with guidance on workflows and tools.

Contribute to Modern Development Practices Work with REST APIs, microservices, and cloud deployments while applying integration principles.

Use CI/CD pipelines and automated test frameworks, helping troubleshoot deployment and integration issues.

Collaborate Across the Team Clarify requirements with product/design partners and ensure they are testable.

Communicate progress and challenges, contribute to technical discussions, and document work for team clarity.
