Precise Systems is seeking a motivated and mission-focused Test & Evaluation Engineer to support Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (CUAS) test and evaluation activities for Expeditionary Electromagnetic Warfare programs at NSWC Crane. The ideal candidate will have experience coordinating, planning, executing, and documenting field test events involving EW systems, CUAS capabilities, RF systems, test equipment, tactical vehicles, targets, sensors, software, and supporting test infrastructure.

This position will serve as a key field test coordination resource, ensuring test events are properly planned, scheduled, resourced, executed, documented, and analyzed in support of Government test objectives. This role requires strong coordination skills, technical understanding of test and evaluation processes, and the ability to work across engineering, logistics, test operations, safety, range control, cybersecurity, configuration management, and Government stakeholder teams.

This role requires in-person support.

• Support field test coordination for CUAS and EW systems, including test planning, scheduling, execution, data collection, post-test analysis, and reporting.
• Coordinate test event requirements across Government leads, engineers, test directors, range personnel, logistics teams, safety personnel, cybersecurity personnel, and supporting contractors.
• Assist in developing test objectives, test plans, test procedures, test schedules, test cards, data collection plans, risk items, and resource requirements.
• Coordinate personnel, equipment, facilities, targets, vehicles, test instrumentation, RF equipment, software, sensors, communications equipment, and support materiel required for test events.
• Support field and over-the-air test events, developmental testing, operationally relevant assessments, demonstrations, experiments, and system evaluations. The SOW specifically includes support for field activities and over-the-air events, as well as verification and validation for field and laboratory infrastructure and systems.
• Track test readiness items, including equipment availability, calibration status, target configuration, range access, safety documentation, security requirements, data collection tools, and logistics support.
• Coordinate and support test location planning, including range scheduling, facility coordination, access requirements, transportation needs, communications setup, and site-specific constraints.
• Support pre-test readiness reviews, test planning meetings, Integrated Product Teams, daily test briefs, post-test debriefs, and lessons learned sessions.
• Ensure CUAS test events are executed in accordance with approved test plans, procedures, safety requirements, security requirements, and customer direction.
• Monitor test execution to ensure test objectives are met, discrepancies are documented, and deviations from planned procedures are captured for review.
• Collect, organize, and review test data, including system performance data, RF data, target activity, event timelines, equipment status, operator observations, and anomaly reports.
• Support data analysis and development of test reports, technical summaries, engineering recommendations, briefings, and lessons learned.
• Coordinate with technical leads to identify test limitations, data gaps, equipment issues, and corrective actions.
• Support configuration, staging, readiness, and inventory control of test targets, hardware, software, signals, recordings, and other stimuli…
