Position Overview:

Sealing Technologies, a Parsons Company, is looking to hire an experienced Software Quality Control Engineer to own software quality across our delivery pipeline. In this role, you will build and maintain the automation, testing, and release validation that ensures software is deployed reliably and performs to standard in production environments.

Deploy, validate, and troubleshoot workloads across Kubernetes clusters, including cluster setup and workload deployment.
Write and maintain Ansible playbooks and roles for infrastructure automation and application deployment.
Establish and enforce quality standards, test strategy, and release acceptance criteria across software deliverables.
Execute functional, integration, regression, and performance testing across development, staging, and production environments.
Identify, document, and track defects through resolution; lead root cause analysis and verify corrective actions.
Develop and maintain quality metrics, test coverage reporting, and release readiness assessments.
Mentor engineers on testing practices, automation standards, and quality engineering methodology.

Minimum Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or related field; equivalent experience may be considered.
8 years of experience in software quality engineering, test automation, Dev Ops, or platform engineering.
Experience with Kubernetes, including cluster setup, workload deployment, networking, and day to day troubleshooting.
Experience writing and maintaining Ansible playbooks and roles for infrastructure automation and application deployment.
Experience building and managing CI/CD pipelines with Git Lab CI and/or Git Hub Actions.
Experience containerizing applications using Docker or similar tooling.
Experience designing and implementing automated test coverage integrated into CI/CD workflows.
Proficiency with at least one scripting or programming language (Python, Bash)
Experience with defect tracking, root cause analysis, and corrective action processes.

Preferred Qualifications:

Active Secret clearance or ability to obtain one.
Experience supporting DoD or federal programs.
Experience with test automation frameworks (pytest, Selenium, Playwright, Robot Framework, or equivalent).
Experience with performance and load testing tools.
Experience with Agile development practices and tooling (Jira, Confluence).
Experience with quality management systems or formal QA methodology.
