Contribute to the development of test configurations, procedures, and documentation for subsystem and system‑level tests.
Support Test Readiness Reviews (TRRs) and Verification Reviews (VRs) by providing technical content and tracking verification closure.
Capture, organize, and document verification evidence and test results to maintain full lifecycle traceability.
Work collaboratively with other systems engineering, integration, and safety disciplines to ensure coherent system verification approaches.
Identify opportunities to improve test and verification processes, tools, and templates within the JETS II organization.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Physics, or a related technical discipline from an accredited institution.
Previous experience in systems engineering, test engineering, or verification and validation for aerospace or other complex systems.
