Systems Engineer – Test

Responsibilities

• Supporting end-to-end Systems Engineering Integration & Test (SEIT) efforts for the Sapphire program, implementing test strategy, planning, execution, and closure across lab, ground, and flight environments.
• Support the Test Lead with maintaining the program-level test & verification master plan, detailed test plans, procedures, and acceptance criteria; ensure traceability to system requirements.
• Coordinate cross-discipline integration and test activities with cross functional IT bedrocks (ERP, MES, PDM) and I&I and subcontractor teams.
• Execute testing for complex system-level integration events, anomaly resolution, root-cause analysis, and corrective actions; drive test defect lifecycle to closure.
• Establish and implement test automation, repeatability, and regression frameworks to facilitate continuous integration and continuous verification.
• Ensure compliance with applicable aerospace standards and certification artifacts (e.g., DO-178C, DO-254, MIL ‑ STD, program-specific compliance requirements), and support certification authorities and program audits.
• Produce and present test status, risk assessments, metrics, findings, and recommendations to program leadership and stakeholders; maintain schedule and resource forecasts.
• Incorporate safety, cybersecurity, and configuration management controls into test planning and execution; ensure test activities respect export control and classified handling requirements when applicable.

• Bachelor of Science degree from an accredited course of study in engineering, engineering technology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, data science, or computer science.
• 1+ years of experience in systems integration and test, with at least 1 year with complex, multi-discipline test teams or test organizations.
• 1+ years of experience in supporting and executing system-level test plans, procedures, and campaigns across lab, HIL, and flight environments.
• 1+ years of experience in software integration, embedded/real-time software testing, telemetry and data analysis; familiarity with flight-test support processes.
• 1+ years of experience with test automation and scripting in at least one language/toolset (e.g., Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, Tcl).
• 1+ years of experience in applying requirements-based verification and maintain requirement-to-test traceability using tools such as DOORS, Polarion, or equivalent.
• 1+ years of experience in configuration management, anomaly/defect tracking tools (e.g., JIRA, Team Center), and test data management.
• 1+ years of experience in supporting root-cause analysis and driving corrective actions across organizational boundaries.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
