Test Engineer, Mid

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, a knowledgeable 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 work with testers, software engineers, and systems engineers to evaluate software developed for national defense. You’ll work on creating a test plan with test cases based on user stories. Using automated and manual processes, you’ll generate data and implement the test cases to observe 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 the health of training registration and learning management systems.  

This is an opportunity to leverage your skills by writing the code to test. You’ll also further your experience in testing complex microservices and user interfaces and explore new areas like automation.  

Work with us as we develop software solutions to enhance our nation’s security.
