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 hardware 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 software developers, software engineers, network engineers, project leads, and customers to evaluate software developed for High Profile Airborne Communication Systems and Platforms in support of the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps. You’ll create test plans 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 operate, 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 custom developed software for state of the art and advanced airborne communications systems. This is an opportunity to supercharge your skills by writing the code to test. You’ll also broaden your experience in tightly integrated SW and HW systems, and gain skills in new areas such as digital engineering, requirements analysis, and system design while sharing your testing experience with your team.
Work with us as we develop software solutions to support our nation's defense.
