Peraton is seeking an experienced Software Quality Assurance Engineer to independently execute and take expanded ownership of quality assurance and test automation activities on the BASIS program. Operating with minimal supervision, the QA Engineer carries direct responsibility for automated test design and delivery, test documentation ownership, defect lifecycle management, and security testing integration - all in support of the program's automation-first QA mandate.

All quality assurance activities must be automated. The selected candidate will independently manage test automation deliverables across Agile sprint cycles, contribute to QA strategy discussions, support junior engineers, and interface with developers and Government stakeholders on quality metrics and release readiness across the deployment pipeline.

• Independently design, develop, implement, and maintain automated test scripts for unit, integration, regression, and end-to-end functional testing across the application portfolio.
• Ensure all automated test cases are executable by the end of each Agile sprint and fully integrated into the Government-managed Dev Sec Ops  pipeline with minimal oversight.
• Drive and apply Test-Driven Development (TDD) methodology – authoring test cases prior to code development and collaborating closely with software engineers to align test coverage with functional requirements.
• Lead the Test Automation State Assessment for assigned application areas; produce assessment reports with automation completion estimates.
• Own the automation of adjacent legacy test cases per Government-approved schedules to systematically expand regression coverage across the portfolio.
• Evaluate automation approaches and recommend improvements to test architecture, reusability, and pipeline integration within the Government-provided automation framework.
• Serve as a technical resource and mentor to junior QA engineers on automation best practices, test script development, and tool usage.

• Develop and own Requirements Traceability Matrices (RTMs)…
