Projects include undersea autonomous systems, undersea sensing and communications systems, and integration with Naval vessels and support systems. Previous DoD program-of-record experience is favored. Previous experience with electromechanical hardware, electronics, and software integrated system test is preferred.

Primary Responsibilities

• Work closely with the SE team to perform a system requirements analysis (SRVM/RTVM).
• Review the program’s formal Statement of Work dealing with system/product testing to ensure a complete understanding of the full scope of testing.
• Develop/document detailed test plans, procedures, reports, and master test plans.
• Decompose test cases into constituent tests in collaboration with the development engineering team.
• Work with design engineers, production personnel, customers, and other stakeholders to identify and develop verification methods for system, subsystem, and component level requirements.
• Plan, manage, and track project test efforts.
• Provide field support planning, shipboard mobilization/de-mobilization support, shipboard at-sea testing and operational support, and other field support in general.

Basic Qualifications

• Skills commensurate with primary responsibilities described above.
• BS degree and 5-10 years of prior relevant experience or Masters with 4+ years of prior relevant experience.
• Strong organizational skills with attention to detail.

Come break things (in a good way). Then build them smarter.
We’re the tech company everyone calls when things get weird. We don’t wear capes (they’re a safety hazard), but we do solve high-stakes problems with code, caffeine, and a healthy disregard for “how it’s always been done.”
