Briefly Describe the Work :

GITI is looking for a Software Test Engineer with documented expertise to be responsible for conducting automated and manual tests to ensure the software created by cyber developers fits its purpose and meets operational requirements. The successful candidate will create test processes and procedures used to ensure that developed software operates within defined requirements and implement test plans, automation, and validation strategies. The candidate will also identify and investigate issues found during testing, update test cases based on discovered defects, and work closely with software developers and software quality analysts to resolve issues. The candidate may work independently but participate in project-wide reviews of requirements, system architecture, and detailed design documents, and work with developers and validation engineers to detect bug issues and prepare software defect reports. A Software Test Engineer must be able to collaborate well with a strong lean-forward attitude to shift knowledge left, deliver well, and produce quality results.

• Support research, development, test & evaluation (RDT&E) for software applications, translating operational requirements into technical solutions and testing artifacts that provide novel cyberspace capabilities or modernize existing cyberspace capabilities.
• Develop test strategies, test plans, test cases, and test reports for assigned test and evaluation projects.
• Effectively use computer-assisted software engineering (CASE) tools, test automation tools, and infrastructure as code (IaC) capabilities.
