Security Verification Test Engineer; FS Poly

Security Verification Test (SVT) Software Engineer

Location:

Annapolis Junction, MD

Clearance: FS Poly Required (poly must be within last 6 years)

Compensation: DOE (depends on experience)

As a member of an agile development team, the SVT Software Engineer will prepare and execute verification tests for our software releases. Responsibilities include turning agile stories into implementable concepts, developing, testing, and deploying new capabilities within a large, complex system. Following the Behavior Driven Development (BDD) pattern, the developer will implement robust tests using DEVOPS automation and, where appropriate, commercial test automation tools.

Opportunities exist to focus on customer domain‑specific language code across Java, embedded C++, scripting languages, object‑oriented modeling tools, low‑level programming, serialization/deserialization, and dependency injection.

The SVT Software Engineer will be responsible for software development activities both individually and as a member of an agile team. The engineer will actively participate in Program Increment planning and related team activities, analyze and study complex system requirements, use design software tools, provide support with formal specifications, data flow diagrams, and other accepted design techniques with CASE tools, and apply sound software engineering principles to ensure code is modifiable, efficient, reliable, understandable, fault‑tolerant, and reusable.

The individual will provide software process management and control throughout the coding portion of the software development process, promote code reuse and cross‑program collaboration, reduce maintenance costs by creating common functions and shared actions, engineer, author, tune, and document automation scripts, and deploy them to the test/production bench.
