Quality Assurance Specialist

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, product owners, development operations, and help desk teammates to evaluate software developed for military intelligence. You’ll create a test plan with test cases based on user stories. 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.  

Work with us as we develop software solutions to support finished intelligence across the Defense Intelligence Enterprise!  

You Have: 

• 8+ years of experience with quality assurance
• Experience developing improved standards for production and design, conducting root-cause analysis and implementing corrective action, and documenting quality assurance activities with internal reporting and audits
• Knowledge of quality assurance terminology, methods and tools, knowledge of IC application development, and excellent analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
• TS/SCI clearance with a polygraph
• Bachelor's degree and 10+ years of experience as a test engineer or Master's degree and 8+ years of experience as a test engineer

Clearance:
