Job description

Required Qualifications • Active TS/SCI clearance with CI Polygraph. • Approximately 5–8 years of experience in systems integration, testing, software, platform engineering, systems engineering, or a related technical discipline. • 5 years with BS/BA; An Additional 4 years of experience may be considered in lieu of a degree. • Demonstrated experience testing distributed systems, APIs, services, or enterprise platforms. • Working understanding of cloud, Kubernetes, networking, identity, and CI/CD concepts. • Experience coordinating integration or test activities across multiple technical teams. • Strong troubleshooting, defect-analysis, and technical-documentation skills. • Ability to analyze complex system interactions and communicate technical findings clearly. Desired Qualifications • Experience with automated API or integration testing. • Experience working with Kubernetes-based test environments. • Experience supporting GEOINT or mission-processing systems. • Experience conducting testing across classified or multi-domain environments. • Experience with performance, resilience, or reliability testing. • Experience with GitLab-based test automation and CI/CD pipelines. We are seeking Integration & Test Engineers to plan and execute system-level integration and verification across a complex ecosystem of interconnected platforms, shared services, mission applications, and infrastructure environments. These engineers will focus on end-to-end system behavior across platform boundaries, validating how services, interfaces, infrastructure, and mission capabilities work together in an integrated environment. The role will span areas including identity, networking, APIs, CI/CD, observability, mission hosting, tenant services, and hybrid infrastructure. The ideal candidate brings strong systems-level troubleshooting skills and can work across multiple engineering disciplines to identify integration issues, coordinate resolution, and provide objective evidence that capabilities are ready for operational use. ResponsibilitiesIntegration Planning • Develop integration plans for new capabilities, shared services, interfaces, and significant platform or infrastructure changes. • Define integration objectives, test dependencies, required environments, and clear entry and exit criteria. • Coordinate integration and test activities across platform, application, infrastructure, security, and mission engineering teams. • Identify integration risks, dependencies, and potential failure points before changes reach production environments. • Coordinate test sequencing and environment readiness across multiple technical teams. System-Level Verification • Plan and execute end-to-end tests validating service interactions across multiple platforms and technical environments. • Validate APIs, data exchanges, identity flows, networking, CI/CD workflows, observability, and application dependencies. • Support multi-tenant, mission-processing, and GEOINT workflow testing. • Perform regression testing following major platform, interface, application, or infrastructure changes. • Evaluate integrated system behavior against defined requirements, expected outcomes, and acceptance criteria. • Identify integration gaps and coordinate with engineering teams to determine root causes and corrective actions. Defect & Evidence Management • Track integration defects, technical issues, and test findings through resolution. • Reproduce complex failures and coordinate troubleshooting across the engineering teams responsible for affected components. • Document test procedures, evidence, results, limitations, and residual risks. • Provide clear technical reporting on integration status, findings, blockers, and readiness. • Develop or automate repeatable integration and regression tests where practical. • Coordinate retesting and verification following defect remediation or significant system changes. Location: This position is fully onsite in Chantilly, VA.
