Contribute to other areas of the engineering life cycle to include requirements review and assessment, training operations support, and basic system administration functions.

Produce well-defined, concise, and directed test procedures and test cases under the guidance of senior engineers.

Support program and team processes by using tools from the Atlassian Suite of products to include JIRA, Confluence, Bitbucket, Bamboo, and X-Ray.

Participate in peer reviews, test bed maintenance and updates, and programming, testing, and debugging activities.

Write and maintain scripts and support application (PowerShell, Cygwin, VBasic, etc.) programs, to enable efficiencies in test artifact creation and task execution.

Help identify production and non-production application issues, assist in developing solutions, and implement necessary changes.

To be successful in this role, you will have:
