About The Position

As a test engineer on our team, you’ll work with testers, software developers, hardware engineers, and system engineers to evaluate software developed for the United States Space Force. You’ll work on creating a test plan with test cases based on user stories. Using automation to streamline and driving automated and manual processes, you’ll generate 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. You’ll automate continuous security and performance testing and monitor the health of space ground system mission data processing and command and control. This is an opportunity to leverage your skills by writing the code to test. You’ll also further your experience in cloud development, cloud computing for large scale systems, and explore new areas like UI/UX Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), system fielding, and operational acceptance. Work with us as we develop software solutions to protect, defend, and operate our nation's Space capabilities. Join us. The world can’t wait.
