Overview

At BlueHalo our Cyber experts operate at the mission’s edge. Using advanced cyber techniques, our team of technologists and analysts employ capabilities spanning traditional computing environments to Internet of Things (IoT), including offensive and defensive cyber operations and analysis, signals intelligence (SIGINT) discovery, and data science.

Our team is expanding to do the big things that have never been done before – the things the nation and the world are counting on us to deliver. Join the transformation and help us make this impact now.

As a Senior Test Engineer with our Intel Division, you will analyze system requirements and concept of operations documents, acquisition plans, and system descriptions to develop evaluation and test plans and procedures, prepare for and conduct the data collection and analysis, and report status and results. Supports the development of Government test and evaluation documentation e.g., Test & Evaluation (T&E) Strategy, Test & Evaluation Master Plan, Event Test Plans, Test Readiness Assessments, and T&E Reports. Works with other test organizations to support T&E program integration. Provides specialized T&E capabilities tailored to system functions, level, maturity, and performance area as assigned in the SOW.

If that sounds like you and you’re ready to make an impact now, not later, read on for the details and apply to make the most of your career.
