Test Engineer 2

Position Summary:

The Test Engineer 2 (TE2) analyzes 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. The TE 2 supports the development of Government test and evaluation documentation e.g., Test & Evaluation (T&E) Strategy, Test & Evaluation Master Plan, Event Test Plans, Test Readiness Assessments, and T&E Reports. The TE 2 also 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

The TE2 will assist with any or all of the Level 1 tasks as constrained by technical training and previous testing experience.

The TE2 must be able to 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 Plan and Execute Performance Analysis. This will also include assessing operational and system performance requirements for testability and criticality to frame and prioritize T&E objectives and enable evaluation planning.

The TE2 will review planned acquisition approaches to support T&E schedule alignment with decision maker needs for T&E support and 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.

The TE2 will assess operational environments and priorities for evaluation attention and scenario selection, and to coordinate user participation in T&E, analyze performance risk areas to focus T&E planning, specify, validate, and adapt Modeling and Simulation for T&E use.

The TE2 will 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 tests. The TE2 will apply Statistical Analysis of variations in performance behavior to characterize confidence in performance estimates. The TE2 will also design surveys for evaluation of Subject Matter Expert (SME) input and user assessments of performance, select, develop, & use analysis tools and participate in the T&E Working-level Integrated Product Team (WIPT) and/or Integrated Test Team for coordination of evaluation plans and execute the evaluation plan on data collected by the Testing Tasks.

The SE2 will work directly with the Government sponsor to coordinate task implementation and produce Evaluation Plans (metric framework, scenarios/threads, timelines, requirements/T&E cross-walk), Analysis Plans, Data Requirements, Risk Assessments, Evaluation Reports, Status reports; provide input to Government T&E products (e.g., Technology Readiness Assessments, Test & Evaluation Strategy, Test & Evaluation Master Plan, T&E Plans & Procedures and Test Readiness Reports). This includes:

• Planning and executing Performance Data Collection
• Planning program and event level testing for collection of data required for analysis and to synch T&E events with supported decision points
• Designing data sampling schemes to optimize the information/resource balance and to control testing uncertainties
• Recommending, coordinating, and calibrating Instrumentation, collection and data management tools, targets, & facilities

o Experience with H.P. Test Tools a PLUS

• Ensuring test readiness including training of test event participants re conduct of the event; equipment readiness, and security, legal, and privacy compliance arrangements
• Establishing and employing Data & Configuration Management capabilities
• Supporting Data Authentication group functions; and comply with program Discrepancy Reporting criteria and processes
• Participating in T&E WIPT and/or Integrated Test Team for coordination of data collection plans
• Executing Testing and Data Collection per plan
• Producing associated Test Plans, Procedures, and Reports/Briefings, Data Management Plan
• Defining and providing technical direction and guidance for the Level 1 tasks to the Level 0 and Level 1 TEs assigned to the task
• Recommend draft plans and reports from the Level 1 tasks for approval by the task leader

Requirements:

• Five (5) years’ experience as a TE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type and complexity is required.
• Bachelor’s degree in Math, Science, Engineering, Statistics, Engineering Management, or related discipline from an accredited college or university is required. Four (4) years of additional TE experience may be substituted for a bachelor’s degree.
