Requirements

• 4-9+ years of experience in integration and test of enterprise-information systems with a focus on Command and Control and completing test verification and validation on those delivered systems.
• Hands-on experience of test or integration of Software developed in C++, Java, JavaScript, SQL Server, and No SQL
• Familiarity with Windows and LINUX systems.
• Experience in mapping requirements into Test Procedures and development of detailed Test Procedures.
• Conducted verification testing of a deployed/integrated software/hardware based system as a member of a team.
• Knowledge of existing NOAA Supported Satellite Command and Control Software such as OS/COMET or JPSS CGS knowledge.
• Experience supporting large scale test execution events while employing traditional I&T test approaches (i.e. RVTM, Meaningful Test Metrics, Test Reporting)
