• Develop and execute system‑level integration test procedures derived from documented software requirements, in parallel with or prior to software implementation, and document test outcomes.
• Identify, isolate, reproduce, document, and retest integration defects; capture logs, traces, and diagnostic data to support root cause analysis.
• Develop, maintain, and execute automated regression tests using Python; analyze failures to determine root cause (software, environment, or automation).
• Develop small utilities, scripts, or integration support tools to enhance testing, automation, and diagnostic capabilities.
• Install, configure, load, and integrate subsystem software builds into laboratory equipment suites; execute integration testing using hardware, simulators, and networked systems.
• Maintain laboratory system operability and equipment readiness, providing hands‑on operational and technical support during integration and test activities, leveraging expertise in lab equipment and system behavior.
• Plan, schedule, and coordinate laboratory resource usage to enable effective integration and test execution.
• Collaborate effectively with software developers, systems engineers, and integration teams in a configuration‑controlled environment.
• Support integration events and testing activities outside standard business hours as required.

• Bachelor's degree or higher (in Engineering, Computer Science, or related field) or related technical discipline
• This position requires a government clearance, U.S. Citizenship is required
• Ability to work on‑site in laboratory environments and support testing outside standard business hours.
• 2-4 years' experience of experience in software integration, system test, or software engineering in a structured, configuration‑controlled environment.
• Experience executing system‑level test procedures derived from documented requirements.
• Experience troubleshooting distributed software systems in Linux/Unix environments.
• Ability to read and analyze production software code written in C/C++, Java, or similar languages to support integration troubleshooting and gray‑box validation.
• Proficiency in Python or comparable scripting language.
• Experience capturing and analyzing logs, traces, and diagnostic data to support root cause analysis.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

Industry Experience - 2 to 4 years of related experience

Experience with the following tools are considered a plus:

• Experience integrating software in distributed or system‑of‑systems architectures.
• Familiarity with pub/sub messaging systems and message‑based communication patterns.
• Experience developing automated test frameworks or integration support tooling.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and automated build/test environments.
• Experience using version control, artifact management, and issue/requirements tracking tools (e.g., Git, Artifactory, Jira, DOORS, Jazz, or similar).
• Exposure to performance analysis, performance metrics collection, or system resource monitoring tools.
• Industry‑recognized certifications related to software testing, quality engineering, cybersecurity, or software development (e.g., ISTQB, Security+, or similar).
