Systems Test Engineer

The Opportunity:

Are you looking for an opportunity to combine your technical skills with big picture thinking to make an impact in the DoD? You understand your customer's environment and how to develop the right systems for their mission. Your ability to interpret contemporary capabilities and translate into measurable test criteria to ensure mission needs are met makes you an integral part of delivering a mission-focused engineering solution.

As a Systems Test Engineer you will lead a test team that will work with Booz Allen colleagues and the U.S. Space Force to develop and rapidly deploy the next generation of resilient Missile Warning (MW) capabilities to deter attacks and provide critical information to our warfighters. Your customer will trust you to not only test, analyze, evaluate, verify, and validate these systems leveraging established system requirements, but also identify areas requiring urgent mitigation up-front and early to develop this system with advanced technology solutions. Grow your skills by merging innovative engineering methodologies and cross-disciplinary coordination to create tomorrow’s solutions. Join our team and create the future of remote sensing.

Join us. The world can't wait.
