DescriptionWe have an exciting opportunity to join us in supporting one of our valued
customers as a Test Engineer 4 to work out of Schriever Space Force Base in
Colorado.
PAY: $170,000 - $183,000
JOB SUMMARY: Seeking qualified test engineer or subject matter expert with
experience in missile defense or ground-based radar systems. Work with a group
of test engineers and analysts to accomplish operational test planning,
executing, analyzing, and reporting on missile defense or ground-based
radar systems to ensure installed system upgrades operate as expected and
accomplish mission needs. Analyze software and hardware requirements to ensure
feasibility of design and applicability to the system under test. Develop
thorough test procedures and detailed test plans to ensure new hardware or
software upgrades are thoroughly tested. Generate test reports containing data
analyses and recommendations concerning the acceptability of the upgrades and
any limitations identified. Direct and/or participate in all phases of test
management with the emphasis on user requirements, test design and
identification of required test tools. Analyze recorded data collected during
test evaluations and report out independent findings as prescribed by approved
guidance. Confer with other test team members on the acceptability of the test
design, analysis results, or final report documentation and provide
feedback on other test activities accomplished within the group.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES:
Use Matlab and JMP to parse test data and conduct data analysis to determine
system performance.
Research system mission and expected performance parameters to build test
scope consisting of relevant Critical Operational Issues, Objectives, and
Measures of Effectiveness and Suitability.
Identify viable and operationally realistic test methods to be used to obtain
test data. Methods may include live fire events, virtual events,
Hardware-In-The-Loop events, subsystem testing, events involving digital
simulations, or other events as needed.
Develop a test approach that includes adequate data sampling to perform
definitive statistical analysis.
Plan and conduct dry runs to validate expected data collection and data
analysis methods.
Develop documentation to include test plans, test execution procedures,
data analysis plans, evaluation reports, and required briefings.
Create surveys to evaluate system acceptability of documentation,
training, safety, and other areas as applicable.
Direct data collection activities and verify all required evaluation
objectives are complete.
Evaluate data and assess system performance using the collected evaluation
data, the validated truth data, and the methodologies and tools developed
during evaluation planning.
Submit deficiency reports when problems are identified that limit system
performance or for system enhancements that should be incorporated in future
upgrades.
Author technical reports to accurately describe results and problems
encountered during test events.
Present evaluation results and recommendations for customer review and
comment, ensure all documents and briefings comply with higher headquarters
guidance.
Assist other analysts by reviewing and providing constructive comments on
planning documents, technical reports, final report briefings or other
documents needed.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

Operational Test and Evaluation test design, analysis, and test reporting
in operational environments.
Understanding of Design of Experiments (DoE) fundamentals.
Possess working knowledge of USAF and USSF test and evaluation directives.
Able to use data reduction tools to analyze raw data and identify
signification system deficiencies.
Understand how to evaluate common system effectiveness and suitability factors
including reliability, maintainability, and availability.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
Experi nce with MATLAB and JMP data analysis programs is highly desired.
Background in Operational Testing (OT) is desired.
