Network Test Engineer

The Opportunity:

When a user tries new software, they expect it to be intuitive and run smoothly. Functionality, reliability, and user experience are key to successful software development, and that means rigorous testing. That’s why we need you, an experienced test engineer who knows how to thoroughly test software and work with developers to make sure our team releases the best software possible.

As a test engineer on our team, you’ll use your experience to work with developers, systems engineers, and offensive security professionals to evaluate software developed for a variety of unique customers. You’ll create a test plan with test cases based on user stories. Using software development, you’ll generate data and execute the test cases to see how the software performs, then document the results and communicate defects to the development team so they can start improving the tool.

You’ll automate continuous security and performance testing and monitor health of quality assurance standards and procedures. You’ll also broaden your experience in networking, virtualization, and offensive security in support of unique requirements that have lasting impact.

Work with us as we develop software solutions to secure our defense networks.
