True Anomaly
YOUR MISSION
The Integrated Test Operations Lead is responsible for the detailed planning, coordination, and execution of integrated vehicle testing across ground and flight environments. This role serves as the primary execution arm for all test activities, translating program objectives into actionable test plans and ensuring disciplined, safe, and efficient test conduct.
Working under the direction of the Ground Test Director, this role drives day-to-day test readiness, leads cross-functional coordination, and ensures all systems, teams, and environments are prepared for successful test execution.
The Integrated Test Operations Lead is responsible for translating program-level test objectives into detailed, executable plans that enable successful ground and flight test campaigns. This includes developing comprehensive test plans for ground-based flight tests and range-based operations, with clearly defined configurations, success criteria, instrumentation strategies, and data collection requirements. The role leads integrated test readiness efforts, ensuring all technical, operational, and safety elements are fully prepared and that all pre-test actions are closed prior to execution.
During test operations, the Integrated Test Operations Lead serves as the primary execution lead, directing real-time test activities and maintaining disciplined adherence to procedures, safety protocols, and mission objectives. This individual is responsible for coordinating inputs from engineering, safety, and operations teams, managing the tempo of execution, and ensuring that all systems and personnel operate in a synchronized and controlled manner. They provide structured recommendations and inputs into go/no-go decisions and lead initial responses to anomalies or off-nominal conditions during test events.
The role requires continuous coordination across cross-functional teams, including propulsion, avionics, guidance, navigation and control (GNC), structures, ground systems, and range operations. The Integrated Test Operations Lead integrates these inputs into cohesive, executable plans and ensures alignment between vehicle readiness, ground infrastructure, and external constraints such as range availability and regulatory requirements.
Following each test event, the Integrated Test Operations Lead ensures the integrity and completeness of all collected data and leads initial post-test assessments, including anomaly identification and triage. They coordinate closely with engineering teams to support deeper data analysis and ensure that lessons learned are rapidly incorporated into subsequent test planning and execution cycles.
In addition, the role maintains ownership of integrated test execution schedules, proactively identifying risks to successful execution and driving mitigation strategies across the team. The Integrated Test Operations Lead provides regular status updates to the Ground Test Director and escalates critical risks, issues, or decision points as needed, operating as the primary “boots-on-the-ground” leader responsible for delivering safe, efficient, and effective test execution.

Classification of protected categories is as follows:
A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.
A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.
An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.
An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.
We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.
