Requirements

Must:
We are looking for candidates with a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline. Alternatively, a relevant technical military background with equivalent hands-on engineering experience is also acceptable. Additionally, you’ll need a solid understanding of Software Configuration Management (SCM) and version control best practices, experience using Jira for change, task, and issue management, as well as strong knowledge of software testing principles, particularly unit testing and code verification. Familiarity with software development processes, life cycles, and documentation standards is essential. Excellent communication and team collaboration skills to interface with multi-disciplinary teams, along with demonstrated leadership capability in coordinating software assurance or QA activities, are required. Experience with project reporting, metrics tracking, and quality status reviews is also highly desirable. For soft skills, we value a strong sense of ownership and attention to detail in process compliance, along with an excellent ability to communicate with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. A team-oriented mindset with the ability to mentor and support others, as well as an organized and proactive approach to challenges, is essential.

Responsibilities

As a key member of our team, you will ensure that software development activities conform to industry and internal quality standards. You will support the implementation of software assurance frameworks across multiple project phases. Conducting reviews, audits, and verifications will be part of your role to confirm compliance with defined processes and best practices. You will collaborate with engineering teams to identify, record, and resolve process non-conformances or risks. Management of assurance documentation, including reports, assessments, and test evidence, is also a critical responsibility. We expect you to provide guidance to developers and test teams on process improvements, configuration management, and tool usage (e.g., Jira), and contribute to ongoing improvements of software assurance methods and QA culture across all projects.
