Software Quality Engineer Senior ; Level 5 Security Clearance

Position: Software Quality Engineer Senior Staff (Level 5) with Security Clearance
Job Number 727219

Description:

Represent Core Software Quality Engineering and define the guidance and mandatory tasks required to perform the Dev Star process for software and software system development.
• Ensure that program/project software development processes are established and followed that produce high quality products.
• Partner with program software development stakeholders to accomplish the following; (1) streamline software development processes to deliver software faster and more efficiently, (2) ensure high-quality software through rigorous testing, automation, and adherence to Dev Star requirements, (3) integrate Security into the development lifecycle from the beginning to ensure secure software, and (4) promote consistent processes and reusable components to reduce redundancy and improve efficiency.

• Establish AC-9337 (Dev Star Process) quality checklists, standards, guidelines, and quality gates, including the documentation and defect management processes.
• Participate in software development activities. Evaluate performed processes and new/modified software work products against applicable process descriptions, standards, and procedures.
• Improve the design and execution of various types of testing (automated unit & application, integration, regression, test coverage, user acceptance) to identify potential defects early in the development process.
• Lead supplier quality management activities. Work with the software technical interface to validate that supplier delivery and quality commitments are met.
• Partner to encourage the leveraging of reusable components (e.g., code building blocks) and libraries to reduce development time and potential errors by using well tested code modules.
• Partner with Agile Teams to adopt a culture of continuous improvement through iteration retrospectives and "Inspect & Adapt" events at the end of each Planning Interval (PI). Recommended actions will be captured in the team's backlog for implementation during the next iteration or PI.
• Review the results from Static Code Analysis where the code is scanned for potential issues like security vulnerabilities, coding style violations, and logic errors without executing the code. Static Code Analysis is executed within the CI/CD pipeline.
• Verify that findings and defects generated by the CI/CD pipeline (functional coverage, structural coverage, cyclomatic complexity, static code analysis, multi-artifact balancing) are remediated prior to the SPE of the software products and their artifacts. What's In It For You:
