Responsibilities:

Test Planning & Strategy:

• Create detailed test plans and strategies, including defining test objectives, scope, and acceptance criteria.
• Derive test cases from system and software requirements for embedded and network systems.
• Build and integrate test automation suites to support network reconfiguration, test case execution, logging and analysis, and continuous integration.

Technical Leadership:

• Serve as a subject matter expert in assigned network technologies and embedded systems.
• Lead test efforts end-to-end, owning test strategy from planning through reporting.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to team-wide improvements in test processes and tooling.

Documentation:

• Prepare comprehensive test documentation including test cases, test scripts, and test reports.
• Ensure all documentation is clear, concise, and meets customer requirements.

Defect Management:

• Identify, document, and track defects using issue tracking systems.
• Work closely with development teams to resolve issues and verify fixes.

Qualifications:

Required:

• Active Top-Secret/SCI security clearance
• BA/BS in Computer Science, Engineering, or related discipline — or equivalent experience
• 5+ years of professional experience in software testing, including deriving test plans from requirements, manual and automated test execution, test analysis, troubleshooting, and reporting
• Experience testing embedded software and/or network equipment such as routers, switches, or similar devices
• Understanding of networking concepts including IP networking, switching, routing, and wireless technologies
• Experience with test automation, issue tracking, and other testing tools
• Experience with Linux and Windows operating systems

Desired:

• Software development and/or advanced scripting skills to support troubleshooting and test automation development (C/C++, Python, Robot preferred)
• Experience with embedded systems and various real-time operating systems
• Experience leading or owning test strategy for a program or major subsystem
• Experience with GitLab CI/CD
