Range Test Engineer (Integration and Interoperability Range Tool Support) (Job Number:407372)
Description:
Summary: The Software Engineering Directorate (SED) is responsible for supporting the integration, test and evaluation of components and technologies developed for the Army Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) Battle Command System (IBCS). The SOSIL is a government owned Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) integration and test facility staffed by a team of Army civilians and contractors from multiple companies.
This position requires the candidate to work as a Range Test Engineer with a diverse team of 25-30 (and growing) HW, SW, and Operational testers. The candidate will plan, organize, execute, and analyze real-time test results from test events and experiments involving newly developed/evolving IBCS major end items (MEIs), adapted versions of existing weapons and sensors, internal interfaces within the Army IAMD system of systems, and external interfaces with other Army and Joint systems in both live and virtual test environments. Oral, written, and presentation communication skills are essential.
Primary Duties:
1. Plan, organize, and coordinate multiple, diverse tasking among a group of 25-30 engineers (and growing) for the duties identified below. Work with, and assist, our air missile defense customer in achieving their test goals.
2. Apply disciplined Systems Engineering skills and methodology throughout the life-cycle of a real-time HWIL Government test lab.
3. Plan the assessment and verification of Army Air and Missile Defense systems, and systems-of-systems requirements.
4. Define test cases and provide technical direction in the preparation of appropriate test stimulus to realize those test cases.
5. Specify instrumentation, processing, communication, and data collection requirements for the test environment, satisfy those requirements, and verify implementations.
6. Identify key parameters for assessing live and simulated distributed radar & tracking tests.
7. Support the verification and validation of all tools used for stimulus preparation, run-time instrumentation, post processing of data logs, and analysis. Identify and specify new tools as needs arise.
8. Perform independent analysis of the test data, review analysis results from other members of the team, reconcile discrepancies, and organize results for reporting.
9. Assume technical responsibility for the accuracy of analysis results both individually and for the group in conjunction with other G-SIL testers and analysts.
10. Manage assigned tasks. Provide status to the Government Project Lead and report accomplishments, status, and plans on NLT a weekly basis, more often if desired.
Work Schedule and Location: Work will primarily be performed at the Software Engineering Directorate during the normal M-F work week between the hours of 0800 and 1700. Some flexibility in work schedule can be accommodated; some after-hours and weekend work might be required. Estimated travel approximately 25%.
Supervisory Responsibilities: As a result of the civilian/contractors staffing structure, this job carries no direct supervisory responsibilities in terms of annual reviews or approval of time sheets which are corporate functions. However, this job will require technical/task leadership of other analysts and engineers commensurate with candidate’s experience and seniority.
Work Environment: Work is performed primarily in an office or lab environment with adequate environmental (heating/cooling) control. The noise level in the lab work environment will be moderate due to noises associated with computer equipment, equipment racks, and environmental control systems. For some tests, tactical equipment will be operated outdoors in field conditions to include weather extremes and on tactical generator power.
Qualifications:
Education and Experience: A four-year Bachelor’s degree from an ABET accredited college in Engineering (BSCE or BSEE highly desirable), Computer Science, Physics, or Math, is required and 8+ years of related experience. Experience can be used in lieu of degree. This position requires understanding of networking concepts. 1-5 years of test and integration experience preferred. Understanding of tactical data links, including Link 16, IBS, BFT, and IFF preferred. Experience with tactical radios including MIDS, JTT, and HNR preferred. Able to perform and communicate in flexible work environment is essential.
This job requires frequent use of a computer. Applicant must possess strong computer skills with demonstrated proficiency in standard business software packages which include database software, spreadsheet software, word processing software, Internet software (i.e., Microsoft Office). Experience with scripting languages and common analysis software and tools (e.g. MatLab) are highly desirable.
Security Clearance: Applicants must currently hold (or be able to obtain within reasonable time) a DoD security clearance at the secret level.
