Description

SAIC is seeking a Test and Evaluation Engineer to support the Expeditionary Electronic Warfare Division at NSWC Crane. This position supports developmental test and evaluation activities for Electronic Warfare (EW) systems and subsystems across their lifecycle under the SENSEI program. The selected candidate will develop detailed test plans, procedures, and reports to verify and validate system requirements. Additionally, this role involves designing and executing laboratory and field tests, operating RF measurement equipment, and analyzing test data to produce technical assessments.

Job Responsibilities:

• Support developmental test and evaluation (DT&E) activities for Electronic Warfare systems and subsystems across the system lifecycle.
• Develop detailed test plans, procedures, and test reports to support verification and validation of system requirements.
• Design, plan, and execute laboratory and field tests, including RF and microwave system testing.
• Configure and operate test instrumentation, RF measurement equipment, and data acquisition systems used in EW testing.
• Analyze test data and produce technical assessments and performance evaluation reports documenting system capability and compliance with requirements.
• Coordinate with government engineers, program managers, and integrated product teams (IPTs) to ensure effective test planning and execution.
• Identify technical risks, troubleshoot system anomalies, and support root cause analysis during testing events.
• Support test readiness reviews, technical reviews, and test documentation development required for DoD programs.
• Assist in maintaining test schedules and coordinating range, laboratory, and system resources required for testing.

Qualifications

Education Level:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering or related engineering discipline with coursework in RF, microwave engineering, or electromagnetic theory.

Required Qualifications:

• Minimum 3 years of professional experience in RF, microwave, or electronic systems engineering.
• Experience supporting test engineering, integration, or verification activities within a systems engineering environment.
• Familiarity with Electronic Warfare systems, RF propagation, signal analysis, or electromagnetic spectrum operations.
• Experience using RF test equipment such as spectrum analyzers, signal generators, network analyzers, or similar instrumentation.
• Experience developing test plans, test procedures, and test reports for technical systems.
• Ability to interpret system requirements and translate them into testable verification methods.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams and government stakeholders.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to travel in support of test events, field demonstrations, and integration activities.
• Must be able to obtain and maintain a Top Secret/SCI security clearance.
