  • Maintain and enhance existing tests to exercise newly deployed and/or updated software features developed by third-party agile programs


Qualifications:

Required: 

  • Active TS/SCI with polygraph (or willingness to obtain a polygraph)

  • BA/BS in STEM field or related experience

Desired:

  • Experience supporting agile software development with systems integration and verification skills

  • Experience with crafting acceptance criteria for functional requirements
