Description


About The Role: 

Innovative Defense Technologies (IDT) is seeking a Test & Evaluation Systems Engineer to be part of our team and based out of our Mount Laurel, NJ location.

We are seeking a mid-to-senior level Software and Systems Engineer with a strong background in analyzing, modeling, and evaluating complex, real-time combat architectures. This role emphasizes system stress testing, performance metric analysis, and software certification.

Clearance & Location Requirements:
  • All applicants must  be able to obtain/maintain  an active  Secret  U.S. Security Clearance. 
  • This is an on-site position. Requiring at least 5 days in office, based out of our Mount Laurel, NJ location.

Key Responsibilities


What You Will Do:  
  • System Stress Testing & Modeling: Execute complex system stress tests (including Medusa stress) and utilize MATLAB to model and evaluate weapons systems.
  • Performance Analysis: Calculate, analyze, and evaluate probabilistic combat system performance measures (such as PK, PES, PSI, and CK), particularly for live fire and Aegis-related scenarios.
  • Real-Time Architecture Evaluation: Navigate, test, and validate within a real-time, event-based architecture that utilizes DDS RTI (Data Distribution Service Real-Time Innovations) and UDP communications (e.g., Sigpro SPY.
  • Software Certification: Ensure software meets rigorous certification standards and validation processes.
  • AI Workflow Integration: Incorporate and leverage AI agentic workflows to automate recompiling tasks and streamline testing processes.
  • Architecture Evolution: Participate in the ongoing testing and rearchitecting of the system as the  program evolves.
  • Mentorship: (For mid-to-senior roles) Provide guidance, support, and domain knowledge transfer to junior engineering staff.


Skills, Knowledge & Expertise


Who You Are (Required):
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Physics, or Mathematics, or equivalent full-time professional experience.
  • 3+ years of full-time professional experience Testing and Evaluation System Engineering, or related technical roles.
  • Ability to travel up to 10% of the time, as needed 
  • Core Software Engineering: Proficiency in C++ and Java.
  • Cloud & Infrastructure: Hands-on experience with AWS (Amazon Web Services)
  • Real-Time Systems: Demonstrated experience with real-time processing and event-based architectures (specifically DDS RTI and UDP; Note: Kafka is not applicable here).
  • Build & Deployment: Strong working knowledge of makefile systems and software certification processes.
  •  Systems Modeling: Proven expertise in systems modeling and probability calculations, specifically using MATLAB.
  • Testing & Evaluation (T&E): Strong background in system performance evaluation and stress testing methodologies.

What Makes You Stand Out:
  • Aegis Domain Knowledge: Prior experience with the Aegis combat system is highly desired, especially for mid-to-senior candidates to support the team, though training will be provided for the right candidate.
  • Specific Metric Familiarity: Prior experience calculating specific defense/combat metrics such as PK (Probability of Kill), PES, PSI, and CK.
  • Advanced AI Application: Experience actively using AI agents for software recompilation and automated testing workflows.
  • Specific Tooling: Sigpro SPY communications.

Pay Range*: $90,000 - $150,000 or $114,000 - $184,000
