The successful candidate will bring hands-on experience with military simulation and training systems and, critically, an understanding of how warfighters employ those systems to accomplish operational missions.\n\nThe Integration Test Engineer will be responsible for evaluating the integrated behavior of the training system, not simply verifying individual software or hardware components. This includes assessing whether flight models, avionics, sensors, weapons, defensive systems, tactical environments, instructor/operator functions, and visual systems work together to create an accurate, reliable, and mission-relevant training environment.\n\nThe ideal candidate understands that a system can meet individual technical requirements and still fail to provide an effective training capability. This position requires the ability to evaluate the system from both an engineering perspective and the warfighter's perspective.\n\n*Primary Responsibilities: *\n\n_Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform essential functions._\n\n*System Integration & Test*\n\n* Plan, execute, and document integration, verification, validation, and system-level testing of military flight and mission training systems.\n* Develop integration and test strategies based on system requirements, operational use cases, mission threads, interface dependencies, and program objectives.\n* Establish and evaluate integration entry and exit criteria to ensure components are sufficiently mature before advancing into higher-level system integration.\n* Validate interfaces and interactions between software, hardware, simulation models, avionics, displays, controls, visual systems, instructor/operator stations, and external systems.\n* Identify, isolate, reproduce, document, and support resolution of integration defects.\n* Perform regression testing following software, hardware, configuration, or interface changes.\n* Support formal test events, customer demonstrations, acceptance activities, and system delivery.\n* Maintain objective evidence of test execution, results, discrepancies, corrective actions, and system readiness.\n* Work closely with software engineers, systems engineers, hardware engineers, product owners, program leadership, subject-matter experts, and customers throughout the integration lifecycle.\n\n*Mission & Warfighter Validation*\n\n* Apply operational and mission-domain knowledge to determine whether integrated system behavior accurately represents the intended platform, mission, and training environment.\n* Develop and execute mission-based test scenarios and operational mission threads, rather than relying exclusively on component-level functional testing.\n* Evaluate systems from the perspective of the pilot, aircrew, instructor, operator, and warfighter.\n* Assess whether system behavior supports realistic tactics, procedures, decision-making, workload, and mission execution.\n* Identify technically functional behaviors that may be operationally incorrect, unrealistic, or negative training.\n* Translate operational feedback from pilots, instructors, maintainers, SMEs, and customers into actionable engineering findings.\n* Support validation of training effectiveness and mission relevance throughout system development and integration.\n\n*Mission-System Integration*\n\n* Depending on the platform and program, support integration and testing across capabilities such as:\n* Aircraft flight and ownship models\n* Pilot controls and cockpit interfaces\n* Head-up and multifunction displays\n* Navigation and flight-management systems\n* Radar and sensor systems\n* Air-to-air and air-to-ground mission systems\n* Weapons and stores management\n* Radar warning and threat-detection systems\n* Electronic warfare and electronic countermeasures\n* Targeting and sensor pods\n* Communications systems\n* Tactical datalinks\n* Synthetic entities and distributed simulation\n* Computer-generated forces and threat environments\n* Image generation and visual systems\n* Instructor/operator stations\n* Debrief and after-action-review capabilities\n* Distributed Mission Operations and external simulation interfaces\n\n*Domain Knowledge & Operational Experience*\n\nCandidates should have demonstrated experience supporting military aviation, warfighter training, mission rehearsal, or tactical simulation environments and possess an understanding of how integrated training systems are used to achieve operational training objectives.\n\nRelevant experience may include work with:\n\n* Fighter, attack, bomber, rotary-wing, ISR, or other military aviation platforms\n* Mission Training Centers\n* Full Mission Simulators\n* Weapons System Trainers\n* Operational Flight Trainers\n* Tactical or reconfigurable training devices\n* Distributed Mission Operations environments\n* Live, Virtual, and Constructive training\n* Military ranges, test organizations, operational units, or training commands\n* Military simulation OEMs, integrators, or government training organizations\n\n*Supervisory Responsibility*\n\nThis position has no supervisory responsibility.\n\n*Work Environment*\nThis job operates in an office or home office environment.\n\n*Physical Demands*The physical demands described here are representative of those that must be met by an employee to successfully perform the essential functions of this job.
