Project/Program Overview

General Dynamics Mission Systems has an immediate opening for a Systems Integration and Test (I&T) Engineer. This position provides an opportunity to further advance the cutting-edge technology that supports some of our nation s core defense/intelligence services and systems. General Dynamics Mission Systems employees work closely with esteemed customers to develop solutions that allow them to carry out high-stakes national security missions.

Basic Qualifications:

Education Requirements:

Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, or a related Science, Engineering or Mathematics field, plus a minimum of 5 years of relevant experience; or Master's degree, plus a minimum of 3 years of relevant experience.

Clearance Requirements:

Department of Defense Secret security clearance obtainable within reasonable time based on requirements. Applicants selected will be subject to a U.S. Government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information. Due to the nature of work performed within our facilities, U.S. citizenship is required.

Required Qualifications

• Demonstrated I&T experience on complex hardware/software systems support of test plan authorship, execution, anomaly resolution, and formal reporting.
• Hands-on System-of-Systems integration experience resolving interface, timing, and interoperability issues across dissimilar subsystems.
• Multi-disciplinary integration experience spanning autonomy, RF communications, UGVs, small UAS, electronic warfare, munitions, and fuzes.
• Experience with bench and field instrumentation: oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and data acquisition systems.
• Python scripting for test automation and data reduction.
• Experience with use-case-driven or mission-thread-based V&V campaigns with formal requirements traceability.
• Experience in an Agile environment with Jira and Confluence.
• Ability to support authoring clear, audit-ready technical documentation for engineering and government customer audiences.
• Willingness to travel up to 25% to customer and contractor test ranges (event-driven, typically 1-2 weeks at a time).

Preferred Qualifications

• Defense/aerospace experience with military standards (MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-1316, MIL-STD-882E, MIL-STD-2105).
• RF/communications test experience: waveforms, link testing, tactical/mesh networks, GPS-denied/contested-spectrum operations.
• Electronic warfare test experience: signal collection, jamming/countermeasure characterization, range testing.
• Autonomy, UGV, and small UAS integration and test perception, navigation, C2, and human-machine teaming.
• Munitions and fuzing experience: setback survivability, safe-and-arm, warhead/effects characterization, lethality testing.
• Environmental and qualification test experience (vibration, shock, thermal, EMI/EMC).
• Test automation framework experience (LabVIEW, TestStand, or equivalent).
• Linux test environments and CI/CD for embedded software test.
• MBSE and digital-engineering traceability tools; experience with VCRMs or VVPs for DoD milestone reviews.
• Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to develop I&T artifacts and capabilities.

Key Responsibilities

• I&T Lifecycle Ownership: Support the full test and integration lifecycle plan, integrate, execute, resolve anomalies, and report for multi-subsystem System-of-Systems capabilities.
• SoS Integration: Support the integration and test strategy; support integration of dissimilar subsystems (autonomy, RF/comms, UGV, sUAS, EW, munitions, and fuzing) into a cohesive, demonstrable capability; resolve cross-subsystem interface, timing, and interoperability issues.
• Use-Case & V&V: Support operational use cases and mission threads; develop verification scenarios that exercise end-to-end system behavior against ConOps with formal traceability from requirements through test evidence.
• Test Planning: Support authoring of test plans and procedures across the full test taxonomy integration, functional, scenario, environmental, acceptance, regression, and qualification with defined pass/fail criteria.
• Field Execution & Anomaly Resolution: Plan and instrument bench and field tests, lead range execution, and resolve test anomalies to the component level across electronic, mechanical, RF, and software assemblies.
• Test Automation: Define and stand up test automation and data acquisition; script data reduction and post-test analysis (Python);develop automated test sequences where applicable.
• Documentation & Configuration Control: Support authoring and maintain integration guides, ICDs, test procedures, lessons-learned registers, and as-tested configuration baselines; ensure documentation is audit-ready for government milestone reviews.
• Leadership & Reporting: Support test activities across a cross-functional, multi-vendor team in an Agile workflow. Support test readiness reviews, test reports, and validation evidence to program leadership and government customers.

Tools & Environment

• Python, CAMEO (requirements traceability), Confluence, MATLAB/Simulink, Git, Jira, LabVIEW/TestStand.
