Test and Evaluation Engineer

Washington D.C., VA
Full Time
Experienced
Location: Washington D.C.
Job Type: Test Planning
Experience: 3+ Years
Clearance Type: Secret



AERMOR LLC is seeking qualified candidates for the position of Test and Evaluation Engineer to provide technical engineering support services for U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), Office of Acquisition Support, and Systems Engineering Policy & Processes (CG-SID-9). This role supports the oversight of Test and Evaluation activities across Coast Guard Aviation, Surface, C5I, and Robotics and Autonomous platforms and systems. The Test Engineer assists CG-SID-9 government testing professionals in advising Acquisition Program Offices throughout the acquisition lifecycle – from early planning and requirements development through test strategy coordination, documentation review, and milestone reporting. The position emphasizes analytical support, policy alignment, and lifecycle integration rather than hands-on test execution. However, there is potential for direct participation in operational testing activities, including at-sea test events, data collection, and reporting.



This is not a remote position. 



Responsibilities Include:

 
  • The Test Engineer supports functional area experts on requirements verification and test strategy during acquisition planning; serve as Domain Manager for assigned programs.
  • Support requirements development and documentation from mission analysis through design, development, production, and deployment.
  • Support and assess Developmental and Operational Testing (DT/OT) integration and transition across program phases.
  • Develop policy and provide oversight aligned with the Major Systems Acquisition Manual (MSAM) and the Non-Major Acquisitions Procedures (NMAP), supporting major and select non-major assets including cutters, small boats, aircraft, C4ISR systems, IT, cybersecurity, and logistics.
  • Deliver analytical support for verification and validation efforts, including test planning, documentation review, CDRL analysis, risk assessment, and Verification Performance Report (VPR) development.
  • Monitor program execution, identify trends and risks, and provide recommendations to support milestone decisions and acquisition reform initiatives.
  • Support the development and evaluation of Test Plans and Reports across a range of acquisition testing types, including DT, Operational Assessments, IOT&E, FOT&E, and related reporting artifacts.
  • Support or participate in operational testing activities as required, including planning and designing realistic tests, compiling data for Operational Test Plans, and contributing to the collection, analysis, and reporting of test results. May include participation in testing aboard US Coast Guard ships and aircraft.

Required Skills and Experience:

 
  • Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field such as management, engineering, technology, or systems acquisition.
  • 5-10 years of experience applying their specialty in a systems acquisition environment. Experience should include performing test and evaluation duties in a systems acquisition environment. 
  • 2 years of relevant experience in direct support of U.S. Coast Guard, or U.S. Navy aviation and/or surface warfare programs.
  • Demonstrated hands-on experience drafting test plans, supporting test execution, and developing test reports across DT, OA, IOT&E, and FOT&E. Experience should include coordination of test strategy, documentation review, requirements verification tracking, CDRL analysis, risk assessment and mitigation, and VPR development.
