• Extend existing automation frameworks to maintain an effective regression test suite
• Participate in release cycles, defect tracking, root cause analysis, and triage
• Collaborate across QA, product, and development teams to deliver high-confidence releases
• Provide leadership on testing best practices and contribute to secure, compliant software validation

Must-Have Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience in software quality assurance, including manual and automation testing
• Proven track record leading QA for medium-to-large projects
• Experience with modern QA tools and frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Appium)
• Strong knowledge of JavaScript, CSS, HTML, and RESTful services
• Excellent problem-solving skills, debugging ability, and test case design
• Ability to work onsite in a controlled-access, secure facility

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience testing across both iOS and Android environments
• Familiarity with frameworks such as Mocha, Jasmine, Protractor, or TestNG
• Experience with CI/CD systems, GitLab, or Jenkins
• BS in Computer Science or related technical field preferred
• Comfortable working in a regulated or high-compliance environment

Why Apply?

• Be part of a mission-critical engineering initiative supporting secure U.S.-based technology
• Join a team delivering systems that require real-time performance, reliability, and compliance
• Work in a modern, fast-paced QA environment with the latest toolsets and infrastructure

This is a highly visible role contributing directly to secure platforms with long-term national impact. If you're ready to apply your QA expertise to a next-level project, we want to talk.

For your safety, do not provide sensitive data to anyone you have not spoken with thoroughly, never provide banking information during the application process and always double check the email address of the Recruiter to ensure it's from an official Planet domain (@theplanetgroup.com or @launchcg.com) - and not a domain with an alternative extension like .net, .org or .jobs.
