Functional Test Engineer

The Opportunity

When a user tries new software, they expect it to be intuitive and run smoothly. Functionality, reliability, and user experience are key to successful software development—and that means rigorous testing. That’s why we need you, a knowledgeable test engineer who knows how to thoroughly test software and work with developers to make sure our team releases the best software possible.

The Test Engineer will support testing and quality assurance activities for enterprise web applications and data systems, including those similar to the U.S. Air Force’s Environmental Resources Program Information Management System (ERPIMS). This role ensures system functionality, data integrity, and user experience quality through structured manual and automated testing, defect validation, and coordination of User Acceptance Testing (UAT).

• Perform SQL-based validation to ensure backend data quality, consistency, and integrity.

• Execute regression, integration, system, and UAT testing, ensuring smooth end-to-end functionality.

• Coordinate and support User Acceptance Testing (UAT) activities, including scheduling, test data preparation, user guidance, and issue triage.

• Track, document, and communicate defects using established defect management tools and processes.

• Collaborate closely with developers, product owners, business analysts, and stakeholders to understand requirements and resolve issues.

• Contribute to continuous improvement of QA processes, tools, and documentation.
