Full description
STR is focused on delivering National Defense capabilities by driving mission-focused strategies to develop advanced technology systems enabling products and solutions focused on achieving the customer vision. Our programs deliver sustainable, reliable, and cost-efficient capabilities focused on end-customer needs that function in operationally relevant environments and timeframes. We consider the entire lifecycle of the solution, from conceptualization and architecting, through development to deployment, while leveraging novel technologies to deliver first-of-a-kind systems.
We are seeking a Senior System Integration & Test (I&T) Engineer in our Woburn, MA office to support integration and test of advanced multi-function RF systems. The I&T Engineer should have experience performing subsystem and system level integration and test of software and/or hardware components to include building test sets and test software to verify system interfaces and functionality implementation against requirements. The I&T Engineer should have familiarity with automated test tools and techniques, writing and executing test plans and procedures, and contributing to system design packages.
This position offers the opportunity to work with leading domain experts in sensors development, data analytics, and cyber security. The I&T Engineer will be expected to work closely with development teams to execute system testing both in a SIL environment as well as field tests. Experience with the Agile development process and associated tools is desired. This position is well suited for an engineer who has experience building DoD systems and is interested in hands on testing and fielding of novel systems developed by STR. Both hardware and software-centric candidates are encouraged to apply to meet comprehensive system testing needs.
STR is adopting Digital Engineering (DE) tools and techniques, including the integration of verification aspects of design as part of a comprehensive Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach. Candidates will be expected to work with Systems Engineers to integrate I&T processes & artifacts into the DE workflow for programs, using MBSE tools to capture those aspects of the design related to verification, with traceability to external tools as required.
What you will do:
- Working closely with domain experts, development teams, and systems engineers to design and develop hardware test sets and develop test software
- Hands on integration work in both hardware labs and field-test environments to ensure that software and hardware components are integrated into the system according to specification
- Experience in preparing and delivering briefings, familiarity with the execution of technical reviews (SRRs, PDRs, CDRs, TIMS, TRRs)
- Documenting and executing test plans and procedures
