Systems Integration & Test Engineer - Level 2

Standard Job Description

Role Overview

As a Systems Integration & Test Engineer, you will plan and execute integration and test activities for Strategic Weapon Systems programs.

You will turn technical and customer requirements into practical test solutions, integrate components and subsystems, evaluate system performance, identify and document discrepancies, and verify that corrective actions resolve identified issues.

This role connects systems engineering, integration, testing, and program execution to help deliver reliable system performance.

Key Duties / Responsibilities

• Develop and execute system and subsystem integration and test plans, procedures, and schedules.
• Integrate and test in-house-developed, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS), and government off-the-shelf (GOTS) components, elements, subsystems, and systems.
• Translate customer and contractual requirements into test solutions that account for technical, schedule, and cost constraints.
• Establish functional and technical specifications and standards needed for integration and testing.
• Identify and resolve hardware/software interface issues.
• Define test inputs and outputs and support end-to-end system or subsystem integration.
• Review and derive requirements related to system and subsystem testability.
• Coordinate testing activities with program teams and other technical organizations.
• Analyze test results and prepare system- or subsystem-level evaluation reports that verify and validate performance.
• Write discrepancy reports and perform regression testing to verify and validate software, component, subsystem, and system fixes.

Work Environment

• You will work with engineering, program, and other technical organizations supporting Strategic Weapon Systems programs.
• The role requires the ability to work extended hours, alternate/off-shifts, and weekends when required by program needs. Occasional travel may also be required based on business or program needs.
• U.S. citizenship is required. An Interim Secret security clearance is required to start, with the ability to obtain a Top Secret security clearance.

What You’ll Gain

• Hands-on experience with complex system and subsystem integration and testing.
• Exposure to requirements analysis, test planning, system performance evaluation, and technical problem solving.
• Experience working across engineering and program organizations.
• Opportunities to strengthen skills in test automation, instrumentation, troubleshooting, and technical documentation.
• Experience supporting systems where disciplined integration and testing are central to mission performance.
