Description

System Test Engineer (Tomahawk Planning System)

Washington Navy Yard, DC Full-time | Onsite with up to 20% travel

About the Role

Leidos is seeking a System Test Engineer to join our Theater Mission Planning Center (TMPC) team supporting the Tomahawk Weapon System (TWS). You'll start by testing the Tomahawk Planning System (TPS) and transitioning into broader TMPC-level test engineering. This role supports a Product Assurance contract with the U.S. Navy's Cruise Missile Project.

What You'll Do

  • Analyze requirements, review software design specifications, and inspect user documentation
  • Develop test plans and create test cases for functional, integration, regression, and operational scenarios
  • Execute tests, record results, report defects, and participate in milestone and Engineering Review Board meetings
  • Support site acceptance testing at multiple domestic and international locations (travel up to 20% annually)
  • Collaborate with internal experts to troubleshoot and resolve technical problems
  • Communicate progress and risks to project team members, management, and external customers
  • Ensure project schedules and performance requirements are achieved
  • Contribute to continuous process improvement and organizational goals

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in a related field plus at least 3+ years of hands-on software test and evaluation experience (additional experience may substitute for degree)
  • Proven experience in verification and validation : developing test procedures, executing tests, documenting issues, and reporting results
  • Strong technical writing and interpersonal communication skills
  • Active Top Secret clearance with the ability to obtain Top Secret SCI.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Operational experience with the Tomahawk Planning System (TPS) and mission planning workflows
  • Familiarity with software engineering principles, system interface testing, databases (SQL), and test automation frameworks
  • Why Leidos?

    Join a team that delivers mission-critical solutions for national security. We offer competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and opportunities for professional growth while working on cutting-edge defense technologies.

    At Leidos, we don't want someone who "fits the mold"-we want someone who melts it down and builds something better. This is a role for the restless, the over-caffeinated, the ones who ask, "what's next?" before the dust settles on "what's now."

    If you're already scheming step 20 while everyone else is still debating step 2... good. You'll fit right in.
