Test Engineer

What you will be doing As a Test Engineer, you would be responsible for : Developing and executing functional test procedures.

Feature, System, and Regression testing of each release (per the Sprint schedule) of the product Testing within an agile development environment for a feature-based release model Documentation and maintenance of the test plan, test environments, and test event checklists for each test cycle.

Providing feedback to the project team, software developers, and Government Program Manager (GPM) on test results and defects.

Required Qualifications : Conducting research into and applying knowledge of Government test and evaluation concepts and related engineering, acquisition, and operations activities as needed to support the T&E activities.

• Plan and Execute Performance Analysis Review planned acquisition approaches to support T&E schedule alignment with decision maker needs for T&E support Analyze performance risk areas to focus T&E planning Specify, validate, and adapt Modeling and Simulation for T&E use Apply Statistical Analysis of variations in performance behavior to characterize confidence in performance estimates Select, develop, & use analysis tools Execute the evaluation plan on data collected by the Testing Tasks Plan and Execute Performance Data Collection Plan program and event level testing for collection of data required for analysis and to synch T&E events with supported decision points Establish and employ Data & Configuration Management capabilities Support Data Authentication group functions;
• and comply with program Discrepancy Reporting criteria and processes Assess operational and system performance requirements for testability and criticality to frame and prioritize T&E objectives and enable evaluation planning Coordinate with program Systems Engineering (SE) and review T&E-related SE information to leverage functional analysis, system descriptions, parameter selection and dependencies, Modeling and Simulation, and initial performance risk assessments to inform evaluation planning Assess operational environments and priorities for evaluation attention and scenario selection, and to coordinate user participation in T&E Plan program and event level risk-tailored performance estimation and analysis of system and operational Effectiveness and Suitability metrics & conditions;
• levels of T&E include inspection, demonstration, paper analysis, survey, simulation, and physical test Design surveys for evaluation of Subject Matter Expert (SME) input and user assessments of performance Participate in the T&E Working-level Integrated Product Team (WIPT) and / or Integrated Test Team for coordination of evaluation plans Produce Evaluation Plans (metric framework, scenarios / threads, timelines, requirements / T&E cross-walk), Analysis Plans, Data Requirements, Risk Assessments, Evaluation Reports, Status reports;

provide input to Government T&E products (e.g., Technology Readiness Assessments, Test & Evaluation Strategy, Test & Evaluation Master Plan, T&E Plans & Procedures and Test Readiness Reports) Design data sampling schemes to optimize the information / resource balance and to control testing uncertainties.

Select, coordinate, and calibrate Instrumentation, collection and data management tools, targets, & facilities Ensure test readiness including training of test event participants re conduct of the event;

equipment readiness, and security, legal, and privacy compliance arrangements Participate in T&E WIPT and / or Integrated Test Team for coordination of data collection plans Execute Testing and Data Collection per plan Produce associated Test Plans, Procedures, and Reports / Briefings, Data Management Plan Telework Availability : Hybrid work authorized up to 16 hours per week Required Experience / Education : Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field Two (2) years of experience as a TE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type and complexity is required.
