• Architect Master Test Plans for complex, multi-node C2 and sensor environments
• Define Measures of Performance (MOPs) and Measures of Effectiveness (MOEs) for C2 systems and sensor nodes
• Conduct advanced sensor integration and testing, including evaluation of radar, RF, and EO/IR sensor performance in contested environments
• Lead troubleshooting of complex sensor anomalies and tracking degradation
• Assess C2 interoperability including threat evaluation, logic flows, and weapon assignment algorithms
• Validate multi-sensor fusion and assess EW or other non-kinetic effects
• Perform data analysis and author final test reports for senior leadership with actionable engineering recommendations
• Provide expert technical insight for issues of critical customer importance
• Assist in developing system requirements, performance measures, test criteria, design constraints, and functional capabilities
• Support DT, OT, FDE, and test readiness certification by identifying deficiencies and verifying compliance
• Prepare, execute, review, and analyze test plans, procedures, metrics, and reports across the system development lifecycle
• Develop test documentation including methods of tests, test cases, test cards/procedures, test directives, technical reports, and requirement analyses
• Plan, coordinate, and monitor test projects requiring modification of standard practices or instrumentation
• Assess feasibility and soundness of proposed engineering evaluation tests and provide recommendations
• Coordinate schedules, pre- and post-test activities, and test results across multiple teams
• Travel to military ranges and additional locations to support test execution, data management, data reduction, hardware setup/troubleshooting, and deficiency reporting
