- Familiarity (ideal but not required) with the NASA/NOAA SE processes
- Experience in cross functional disciplines to include (RMA, SMA, Systems Security, Metrics, Trade Analysis, Mission Systems, Integrated Logistics)
- Experience with developing NOAA/NASA SE documentation (i.e. SEMP, Test plans, Test Procedures, SSPs, milestone event planning)
Additionally, Test Engineers with Cloud SME background and the following areas of experience are beneficial for this role (Recommended for the role but not a requirement):
- Providing a high-level road map and best practice recommendations, to clients with a Business Productivity Infrastructure Optimization (BPIO) maturity model roadmap to deploy cloud base solutions. Working with clients to create portal governances based on real world experience, to comply with organizational objectives.
- Ability to customize Algorithm-driven solutions that creates process automation either in up-front testing or in day to day completion of work
- Custom designed solutions to deploy cloud base infrastructures solutions to meet client's compliancy and high availability requirements.
- Providing customized training to stand users and super users on Cloud base solutions.
- Performed high level requirements gathering and solution design cloud base solutions
Experience: 8-15+ years of experience in designing, implementing, and managing enterprise-information systems and completing test verification and validation on those delivered systems.
This position is remote work designated by contract and does not require the candidate to be in the D.C. area.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
