As a member of the Test Automation team, your primary responsibility will be the design, development, and implementation of automated tests to validate system functionality, performance, and integration. You will work in a collaborative environment to ensure quality assurance of mission-critical software systems, bringing cutting-edge test automation practices to life. Your role will require close coordination with developers, systems engineers, and other stakeholders to ensure effective, reliable automated test scripts that align with defined requirements and test cases.
Roles and Responsibilities:
Collaborate with test leads, developers, and systems engineers to design test cases and implement automated tests to validate system requirements.
Develop, maintain, and optimize automated test frameworks to ensure scalability, accuracy, and maintainability of automated test suites.
Execute automated regression, integration, and performance tests, documenting and reporting results to the team.
Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve issues found during testing, including collaboration with developers to investigate root causes.
Support continuous testing workflows in CI/CD pipelines, incorporating automated testing tools to improve validation efficiency.
Ensure traceability between test requirements, automated tests, and system verification results.
Analyze test results using automated tools to evaluate system performance and identify gaps.
Contribute to the refinement and implementation of automated testing strategies aligned with industry best practices.
Basic Qualifications (Test Engineer):
Bachelor’s degree in STEM related field, and 12 years of related experience, or a Master’s degree with 10 years of related experience, or 8 years with a PhD.Active in-scope DoD-issued
