Job Description

Senior Systems Integration Engineer

Full time

Onsite

The Senior Systems Integration Engineer is a strategic and hands-on technical leader responsible for integrating, testing, and advancing complex DoD software systems. This role leads system integration efforts across subsystem and external system boundaries, while developing the automation, tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and secure infrastructure needed to support reliable integration and deployment. The Lead Systems Integration Engineer provides technical direction, mentors engineering teams, and establishes reusable integration, test, and deployment practices that improve consistency, efficiency, and scalability across programs.

This position supports the Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) Engagement Controller and Manager (BECM) program and requires strong experience in software integration, test engineering, automation, and DevSecOps. The role is responsible for supporting integration and verification activities, developing automated testing and integration capabilities, and maintaining the technical documentation needed to support formal test events and delivery in classified, highly regulated environments.

Work Environment: This is a full-time, on-site role in Sterling, VA, with work split between standard office space and SCIF environments. Some flexibility in daily working hours is available and will be coordinated around program requirements and facility access windows.

System Integration & Test

Integrate and test software subsystems and external systems, identifying issues related to interface contracts, data exchange, timing, usability, functionality, safety, and security

Write and maintain SWIT and SIT test threads, cases, and steps, and support traceability from requirements through verification evidence

Participate in integration events with external system owners and government stakeholders, including dry runs, formal test events, and site activities

Triage integration defects across system boundaries, isolate root cause, and work with the responsible team to drive closure

Test Tooling & Automation

Build and maintain test tooling: simulators, stubs, message injectors, data generators, log analyzers, and results reporting

Develop automated test suites and utilities, and keep them current as subsystems and external interfaces change

Extend automated regression coverage inside CI/CD so integration failures surface early rather than at test events

Produce consistent test reporting and evidence artifacts for both engineering and compliance consumers

Reusable Engineering

Build tooling and test assets as versioned, documented components rather than one-off scripts, so they hold up when another program picks them up

Flag duplicated effort across teams and help consolidate it into shared components

Contribute to common conventions for interface documentation, test structure, and environment configuration

Infrastructure & DevSecOps

Use container technologies to configure and deploy software to lab, integration, and customer site environments

Build and maintain automation pipelines, artifact management, and environment provisioning, including disconnected and classified enclaves

Implement security and compliance controls inside the pipeline rather than at the end of the cycle

Collaboration & Documentation

Work with cross-functional teams to define, design, and implement new software and its verification approach

Write and maintain documentation for integration, test, and deployment processes

Share integration and test practices with less experienced engineers on the team

Stay current with developments in software integration, test engineering, and secure delivery

Required Qualifications

  • A degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 5 years of relevant experience, or an advanced degree in a related field and a minimum of 3 years of experience
  • Hands-on experience integrating and testing software across subsystem or external system boundaries
  • Experience building test automation, harnesses, or test utilities, not only authoring test cases against existing tooling
  • Experience working in secure or regulated software environments
  • Experience working in cross-functional software development teams
  • Working knowledge of at least one major public cloud provider (AWS or GCP preferred)
  • Experience with container and orchestration technologies (e.g., Kubernetes, Docker, Podman, Helm, ArgoCD, Flux)
  • Proficiency with Python and testing frameworks such as Pytest; Linux shell scripting and core CLI tooling (grep, awk, sed, ssh, scp); pipeline development using tools such as GitLab and Artifactory
  • Experience creating test threads, cases, and steps for SWIT and/or SIT
  • Active and transferable TS/SCI U.S. government issued security clearance required prior to start date
  • U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience testing distributed, real-time, or message-driven systems where timing and ordering matter
  • Experience building interface simulators or emulators for systems unavailable in the lab
  • Experience with test reporting and results aggregation standards (e.g., JUnit XML, CTRF, Allure)
  • Experience with behavior-driven test formats (Gherkin, Cucumber)
  • Experience with data integration and streaming technologies, including NiFi, Kafka, and REST APIs
  • Experience mentoring engineers or leading a small technical effort
  • Experience with documentation tools like Swagger
  • Experience with modeling tools like Cameo
  • AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate certification
  • Certified Kubernetes Administrator certification
  • DoD IAT Level II security certification (Security+ CE, GSEC, SSCP, or CCNA Security)
