We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Test Engineer to lead and support the planning, execution, direction, analysis, and reporting of experimental, developmental, and operational testing for advanced Navy capabilities. This role builds upon core test engineering functions by providing senior‑level leadership across complex test events, cross‑functional technical teams, and operational stakeholders. The candidate will support testing across operational, hardware‑in‑the‑loop (HWIL), virtual, and other relevant environments while helping evaluate system performance, identify risks, document findings, and inform capability development.

The role requires the ability to bridge operational, technical, and executive audiences while supporting efforts involving mission engineering, fires, modeling and simulation, data analytics, communications systems, tactical networks, datalinks, and Aegis Weapon System‑related capabilities, as applicable.

This role requires in‑person support.

• Lead and support planning, execution, direction, documentation, and reporting for experimental, developmental, and operational test events across operational, hardware‑in‑the‑loop (HWIL), virtual, and other applicable environments.
• Develop and coordinate test objectives, procedures, schedules, data collection plans, test reports, briefings, after‑action materials, and other deliverables to ensure test activities are organized, traceable, and aligned to program objectives.
• Serve as a senior test lead during operational test events by coordinating participants, managing execution flow, tracking issues, capturing observations, and ensuring results are clearly documented and communicated.
• Coordinate cross‑functional teams of engineers, developers, operators, analysts, and program personnel to support integrated testing of complex Navy capabilities across technical and operational environments.
• Apply experience with mission engineering, fires, modeling and simulation, and data analytics to help inform system design, operational concepts, test objectives, performance assessments, and risk‑based recommendations.
• Support testing and evaluation of communications systems, routing, broadcast capabilities, tactical networks, datalinks, and Aegis Weapon System (AWS) related capabilities, as applicable to program needs.
• Provide leadership and management support within team‑of‑teams environments by coordinating priorities, tracking action items, communicating status, supporting issue resolution, and mentoring less experienced test personnel.
• Communicate test objectives, execution status, technical findings, operational impacts, risks, and recommendations clearly across operational, technical, program management, and executive audiences.

• Bachelor’s Degree or Equivalent Experience

• 10+ years of related experience.
• Extensive experience planning, test directing, executing, documenting, and reporting on operational testing.
• Demonstrated leadership and management capability within cross‑functional technical and operational team‑of‑teams environments.
• Ability to coordinate engineers, developers, operators, analysts, and program stakeholders in support of complex test events.
• Experience developing or reviewing test documentation, test reports, briefings, after‑action…
