In this position, you will lead integration, test, and readiness activities across complex system environments, helping ensure critical ground systems are prepared for successful execution.

You will work directly with the team’s Technical Lead, customers, and cross‑functional teams to drive requirements to understanding, translate requirements into system architecture, design and define interface requirements, lead testing and validation, develop test strategies, and supply issue resolution and/or direction. This role offers the opportunity to influence high level technical direction, lead a team through high‑visibility integration efforts, and support capabilities that directly contribute to national security missions.

To be eligible for this demanding position, the ideal candidate should demonstrate the following experience and qualifications:

• Lead technical integration and test activities in a lab or operational environment.
• Partner with customer stakeholders, program leadership, and engineering teams to execute complex systems efforts.
