Analyze system requirements and concept of operations documents, acquisition plans, and system descriptions to develop evaluation and test plans and procedures, prepare for and conduct the data collection and analysis, and report status and results.

Responsibilities:

• Works with other test organizations to support T&E program integration.
• Provides specialized T&E capabilities tailored to system functions, level, maturity, and performance area as assigned in the SOW.
• Assist with any or all of the Level 1 tasks as constrained by technical training and previous testing experience
• Conduct research into and apply knowledge of Government test and evaluation concepts and related engineering, acquisition, and operations activities as needed to support the T&E activities
• Review planned acquisition approaches to support T&E schedule alignment with decision maker needs for T&E support
• Apply Statistical Analysis of variations in performance behavior to characterize confidence in performance estimates
• Plan program and event level testing for collection of data required for analysis and to synch T&E events with supported decision points
• Support Data Authentication group functions; and comply with program Discrepancy Reporting criteria and processes
• Assess operational and system performance requirements for testability and criticality to frame and prioritize T&E objectives and enable evaluation planning
• Coordinate with program Systems Engineering (SE) and review T&E-related SE information to leverage functional analysis, system descriptions, parameter selection and dependencies, Modeling and Simulation, and initial performance risk assessments to inform evaluation planning
• Plan program and event level risk-tailored performance estimation and analysis of system and operational Effectiveness and Suitability metrics & conditions; levels of T&E include inspection, demonstration, paper analysis, survey, simulation, and physical test
• Assist with any or all of the Level 1 tasks as constrained by technical training and previous testing experience
• Recommend draft plans and reports from the Level 1 tasks for approval by the task leader
• Work directly with the Government sponsor to coordinate task implementation
• Maintain knowledge of current and evolving agency, national, and international standards applicable to the system development of interest

Required

• Eight (8) years' experience as a TE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type and complexity is required.
  • 5 years of experience can be substituted for a degree.
