Quality Assurance Engineer
About The Position
As a Quality Assurance Engineer, you will ensure that applications, services, data pipelines, and simulations supporting a Digital Twin and Modeling and Simulation (M&S) platform for military test ranges perform reliably, accurately, and securely. You will own test strategy and execution across web applications, back-end APIs, 3D and geospatial data pipelines, and real-time 3D visualization environments built on game engines. You will develop automated test suites, integrate them into CI/CD pipelines, and verify releases against functional, visual, performance, and security requirements. You will also help ensure simulation outputs and 3D content accurately represent the real-world systems and environments they model. Working with full-stack developers, M&S engineers, platform engineers, and UX practitioners, you will identify issues early and build quality into delivery. You will help define quality measures for an emerging platform and produce test evidence supporting releases in regulated DoD environments. Travel of up to 25% is required, and applicants must be able to obtain a Secret clearance.
