About The Position

The Software Development in Test Engineer will be responsible for planning and performing Integration, Verification, Validation, Qualification (IVVQ) for the Data Security Fabric product line, which involves a solution for data warehouse auditing and classification. This is a hands-on role participating in IVVQ activities, CI/CD, and test automation. The successful applicant will work within a project system engineering team, executing IVVQ activities, producing planning documents like Test Strategy, Test Plan, Test Automation, System Integration Plan, and Release Readiness. The engineer will report to the IVVQ Manager, ensuring work aligns with department policies and project plans. They are expected to understand customer system usage to inform IVV planning, create System Test plans and reports, and collaborate with Project Engineers to define the IVV approach. During execution, the IVVQ Engineer works with Software Development Engineers to ensure flawless execution and may support their activities during integration and fix cycles. The role also involves designing, implementing, and maintaining reliable automated tests (UI, API, integration) using IVVQ frameworks and languages, integrating these tests into CI/CD pipelines, managing test stages, and reducing flaky tests. The engineer will also find synergies between test activities across multiple programs, efficiently manage test resources, produce test cases from field defects, and represent IVV in Final System Acceptance Tests (FSATs). The IVV Engineer can also act as a Scrum Master, upholding agile values and principles, and facilitating Scrum reviews.
