About The Position

As a Quality Assurance Engineer, you will help ensure that the applications, services, data pipelines, and simulations supporting a Digital Twin and Modeling and Simulation 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 build automated test suites, integrate them into CI/CD pipelines, and verify that releases meet functional, visual, performance, and security requirements before reaching mission users. You will also help verify that simulation outputs and 3D content accurately represent the real-world systems and environments they model. You will work with full-stack developers, M&S engineers, platform engineers, and UX practitioners to identify issues early and build quality into each stage of delivery. You will help define how quality is measured on the platform and produce test evidence supporting releases in regulated DoD environments. The role is hybrid and based in Washington, DC, with travel of up to 25% of the time. Applicants must be able to obtain a Secret clearance.
