Software Quality Assurance Tester

Software Quality Assurance Tester

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, a knowledgeable 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 work with testers, developers, engineers, and various project stakeholders to evaluate software developed for the Air Force. You’ll work on creating a test plan with test cases based on user stories. You’ll generate test 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.

This is an opportunity to leverage your organizational and analytical skills by creating and maintaining test cases and other test artifacts. You’ll also grow your technical skills, further your experience in functional testing, and explore new areas like hardware testing, defect management, and troubleshooting support.  

Join us. The world can’t wait.

• Experience with manual testing, identifying defects, and reporting test statuses

• Experience with identifying, isolating, and documenting defects

• Experience creating and maintaining test artifacts such as a test case repository and SQA documentation
