Senior Systems Integration & Test Engineer

Description

• Integrate, configure, and validate Sky Line-X KN-2 capabilities within both physical and virtual integration laboratories.
• Execute system integration, verification, and validation activities to ensure the system is properly configured and operating within the National Airspace System.
• Support formal customer demonstrations, verification events, and customer acceptance testing with KN-2 stakeholders.
• Collaborate with software, systems engineering, networking, and infrastructure teams to investigate, troubleshoot, and resolve complex system-level issues.
• Analyze integration and test results, identify root causes, and provide detailed technical documentation supporting issue resolution.
• Support deployment and integration activities at customer operational facilities, including Air Traffic Control Towers (ATCTs).
• Execute system interface testing and validate communications across internal and external interfaces.
• Coordinate integration activities with customer personnel and cross-functional Leidos engineering teams.
• Develop automated tools, scripts, and AI-assisted solutions that improve testing efficiency, reduce manual effort, and streamline repetitive tasks.
• Support remote deployment activities by coordinating with infrastructure, networking, and installation teams.
• Learn and maintain a deep understanding of Sky Line-X architecture, system functionality, interfaces, and operational workflows.
• Partner with Systems Engineering to develop integration and test strategies for new capabilities and system enhancements.
• Integrate services with databases, messaging systems, and external APIs.
• Troubleshoot networking issues, IP configurations, and interface connectivity.
• Demonstrate system capabilities during formal "run-for-record" events supporting customer acceptance and release readiness.
• Provide technical leadership and mentoring to junior integration engineers while helping ensure program milestones are successfully achieved.
• Serve as a technical lead for systems and software integration in support of Development Test (DT) and Formal Test execution on the Sky Line-X KN-2 program.
• Integrate complex systems and software with minimal oversight, and debug system-level issues while providing detailed supporting data on identified issues.
• Develop and maintain test approach and procedures derived from system-level requirements (A-Level, SSS), including system-level and component-level test procedures, test cases, and data sets.
• Conduct root cause analysis and defect resolution in coordination with software and systems engineering teams.
• Execute integration testing of distributed, safety-critical systems using containerized or virtualized environments (e.g., Docker, Podman), and manage VMs and dev containers.
• Develop and maintain test artifacts and documentation, including the Verification Requirements Test Matrix (VRTM), traceability matrices, and test reports.
• Interface with Sky Line-X software, systems engineering, and integration/logistics teams in support of installation and integration efforts.
• Clearly communicate and generate briefings to report status to both internal and customer stakeholders, and support test readiness reviews and system qualification events.
• Actively participate in daily stand-ups, Sprint Planning, Release Planning, and other Agile team activities.

• Experience integrating and testing large-scale, distributed software systems.
• Strong Linux/UNIX administration and troubleshooting experience.
• Experience with Python, Bash, or Shell scripting for automation and data analysis.
• Experience troubleshooting network configurations, connectivity, and distributed system interfaces.
• Experience developing automation solutions that improve engineering efficiency.
• Experience developing automation solutions that improve engineering efficiency. The engineer should have working knowledge of test automation, including the use of automated test frameworks and scripts (e.g., Squish, Selenium, PyTest, Robot Framework) to run repeatable tests. A general familiarity with integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to support regression coverage is helpful.
• The team uses Artificial…
