What are the responsibilities and job description for the Test Engineer, Lead position at Booz Allen Hamilton?
Test Engineer, Lead
The Challenge:
When a user tries new software, they expect it to be intuitive and run smoothly. Functionality, reliability, and user experience are key to successful software development – and that means rigorous testing. That’s why we need you, an experienced test engineer who knows how to thoroughly test software and work with developers to make sure our team releases the best software possible.
As the Test Engineer Lead, you will work to ensure that each of our Agile teams of developers are equipped to perform the necessary level of testing rigor for software to ensure quality products for a Command client. You will work closely with the Development Lead for each team to ensure consistent processes and behaviors across development teams. You will re-enforce testing principles and provide guidance to teams as they leverage automated test frameworks developed in Python and use tools such as Selenium to deliver software at an operational tempo to meet mission needs. You will work to build test artifacts and deliverables to include a system test plan based on test cases derived from user stories. You will work closely with our DevOps or Automation team to understand the automated test framework and tools to automatically generate test reports and artifacts using Markdown and RST.
You’ll broaden your experience in Cloud development and gain skills in new areas, including AWS and test automation frameworks, while sharing your testing experience with your team. You'll work with us as we develop software solutions to protect our nation's critical infrastructure and national security.
