Job description

Standard Job Description

Plans, implements, tests, documents, and maintains solutions for the integration and testing of in-house developed and COTS/GOTS components, elements, subsystems and/or systems. Synthesizes customer contractual needs and requirements into system test solutions that acknowledge technical, schedule and cost constraints. Establishes functional and technical specifications and standards, solves hardware/software interface problems, defines input/output parameters, and ensures integration of the entire system or subsystem. Reviews, evaluates and derives requirements for testability, develops and directs preparation and execution of comprehensive test plans, procedures and schedules for complete systems and/or subsystems. Coordinates subsystem and/or system testing activities with programs and other organizations. Performs analysis of test results and prepares comprehensive subsystem and/or system level evaluation reports which verify and validate system performance. Writes discrepancy reports and performs integration regression testing to verify/validate incorporated fixes to software, components, subsystems and systems.

The Electrical Certified Test Conductor (CTC) will serve as the person‑in‑charge (PIC) during the execution of powered spacecraft test activities within the Orion program. The CTC is accountable for the safe, disciplined, and efficient execution of test procedures, the integrity of test inputs/outputs, and the coordination of test‑support coverage across rotating 24hr/7day shifts.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, maintain, and approve detailed test plans, procedures, and schedules in accordance with program requirements and command media.
• Prepare all test hardware, software, and instrumentation (including electrical ground‑support equipment) ensuring compliance with the Test Engineering Command Media.
• Create, review, and update automated test scripts to guarantee reliable, repeatable execution
• Lead execution of functional, performance, and environmental tests, documenting results, discrepancies, and corrective actions; serve as the PIC for all test‑execution activities.
• Provide 24hr/7day in‑person test support on a rotating schedule (day, split, night) and act as the primary escalation point for any test‑phase anomalies.
• Coordinate with Test Leads, Test Technicians, and other CTCs to ensure unified test‑execution strategy, resource allocation, and compliance with AIT&L directives.
• Maintain CTC certification status, complete required training and annual recertification.
• Identify and mitigate human‑error risks by applying the Human Error Prevention and enforcing approved procedures.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science in Engineering (Electrical, Aerospace or a closely related field).
• Ability to perform reliably in a 24‑hour operational environment, working rotating day, split, and night shifts.
• Prior system integrated test execution experience.

Desired Skills

• Prior experience as a CTC or current enrollment in the CTC OJT training program, or participation in an equivalent program within another business unit.
• Proficient with automated test equipment, scripting languages, data‑acquisition systems, and Linux‑based test tools.
• Strong analytical abilities combined with excellent written, oral, and documentation skills.
• Hands‑on experience with crewed spacecraft or other high‑reliability flight hardware.
• Solid understanding of test‑engineering processes, including the creation and execution of test plans, procedures, and the maintenance of accurate test records.
• Experienced using automation‑framework tools to develop and manage test scripts and workflows.
• Proven leadership and team‑building skills; capable of coordinating and guiding a team through anomaly investigation and resolution.
• Familiar with electrical ground support equipment used to power and monitor spacecraft subsystems.
