Job Description:
Our client is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Systems Engineering Test Specialist for a hybrid role that requires onsite work at Atlantic City Airport, NJ (Egg Harbor Township), with the potential for full-time conversion. This position is ideal for an individual with a strong background in SQL, Linux, and testing methodologies, who possesses excellent problem-solving and documentation skills. The role involves working closely with FAA operations, and thus, professionalism and strong communication skills are paramount.

Responsibilities:

• Conduct onsite testing at the Atlantic City Airport tech center, ensuring thorough and accurate results.
• Analyze test outcomes to identify issues and develop effective solutions, contributing to overall system improvements.
• Document all testing processes and findings in detail, ensuring reproducibility and adherence to quality standards.

• Ability to pass an FAA background check, with the understanding that Public Trust clearance is required and the process takes approximately one month.
• Residency within an hour of the job site is required for timely onsite presence.
• Availability for a hybrid role with a minimum part-time onsite presence, and flexibility in work schedule.
• Strong documentation skills, with an emphasis on detail-oriented processes. Running tests without thorough documentation will not meet expectations.
