  • Assist with standing up and maintaining representative lab environments, including software builds, test tools, data collection systems, interfaces, networked test assets, and hardware-in-the-loop configurations.
  • Support hardware-in-the-loop testing to evaluate software performance, system response, RF characteristics, output timing, mission behavior, and CUAS effectiveness.
  • Identify software anomalies, data gaps, regression issues, integration problems, test limitations, and operational impacts.
  • Document software deficiencies, test observations, corrective actions, retest results, and engineering recommendations.
  • Coordinate with software developers, systems engineers, RF engineers, cybersecurity personnel, test directors, configuration managers, and Government leads to resolve issues and support test readiness.
  • Support test automation efforts to improve test consistency, repeatability, rigor, and efficiency.
  • Participate in test readiness reviews, technical interchange meetings, Integrated Product Teams, daily test briefs, post-test debriefs, and lessons learned reviews.
  • Support the development, review, revision, verification, and release of T&E documentation, including test plans, SOPs, schedules, briefs, reports, and technical summaries.
  • Ensure software lab test artifacts, test data, and technical documentation are properly marked, controlled, stored, and retained in accordance with applicable security, CUI, OPSEC, and configuration management requirements.
