Job description

Camgianis seeking a Lead Integration & System Test Engineer to own system-level integration assurance and test readiness for complex software and hardware systems to aid the warfighter. This role ensures that components integrate into a reliable, testable, and releasable system prior to formal QA validation, supported by objective test evidence and clear risk assessment.

The Lead Integration & System Test Engineer serves as the single integration authority, responsible for readiness decisions, gating releases from Engineering into QA, and reducing late-stage integration risk. In this role, you will also mentor engineers and help mature integration and system test practices across the organization.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, or equivalent experience
• 7+ years of experience in systems integration and test of complex mission critical systems for DoW
• Demonstrated experience with system-level integration, testing, and test readiness
• Experience delivering in mission-critical, high-reliability, or regulated environments
• Experience with software development
• Experience working in multi-team, multi-component engineering environments
• Familiarity with Agile development processes and modern CI/CD pipelines
• United States Citizenship required

Desired Skills

• Experience leading integration or system test efforts for complex, distributed systems
• Strong understanding of systems engineering concepts, interfaces, and dependency management
• Experience with modeling & simulation environments that includes scenario development and their use in testing
• Experience coordinating test readiness across Engineering, and QA organizations
• Experience defining or executing formal Test Readiness Reviews (TRRs) or equivalent
• Familiarity with DevQAautomation outputs, CI/CD pipelines, and test evidence aggregation
• Experience working with hardware-in-the-loop or representative system test environments
• Experience with containerized systems and deployment validation environments (e.g., Kubernetes)
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for readiness discussions with senior management and stakeholders

Responsibilities

• Own system-level integration assurance and test readiness prior to formal QA validation
• Define integration test strategies and develop test plans aligned with system requirements and acceptance criteria
• Execute or coordinate integration testing across software components and full system builds
• Aggregate and assess integration test evidence from component teams and DevQA pipelines
• Ensure traceability between requirements, acceptance criteria, and integration test results
• Identify system integration defects, cross-component issues, and release risks
• Develop and execute scenario-based test environments, including simulation-driven workflows
• Ensure all models used in testing have clearly defined fidelity, assumptions, and limitations
• Document model constraints and their impact on test validity and release readiness
• Coordinate defect resolution across engineering teams
• Conduct formal Test Readiness Reviews (TRRs)
• Produce clear, auditable readiness assessments with documented risks, limitations, and supporting evidence
• Serve as the integration authority gating releases from Engineering into QA based on readiness and risk
• Support QA during formal validation to resolve integration-related issues
• Continuously improve integration, system test processes, and readiness criteria
• Mentor junior engineers and review test plans and results
• Participate in professional development to strengthen technical and leadership skills
