• Contribute to the design of new testing strategies aimed at verifying the quality, robustness, and integrity of AI-assisted code development.
• Detect, document, and track software defect reports and feature requests.
• Understand, reproduce, and troubleshoot product defects, collaborating closely with developers to determine the best resolution.
• Assist in the planning and implementation of Testing-Team processes and solutions in alignment with program and operational timelines.

• Familiarity with, or a strong interest in, modern development workflows using AI-assisted coding tools and methods for verifying code integrity.
• Experience testing complex, data-heavy systems or interoperable data streams.
• Solid grasp of technical writing and documentation.
• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field, or comparable professional experience.

Nice If You Have:

• Military cyber experience, networking experience, or understanding of common military, cyber, and networking vernacular.
• Familiarity with AI development and testing capabilities.
• Familiarity with virtualization or cloud technologies such as Docker, vSphere, Ansible, or AWS.
