• Clearance: Secret, will hold Top Secret if you have it
• Program – C2BMC
"Position Responsibilities
Innovate & Design Automation Solutions
-Architect and develop new automated test scripts, frameworks, and reusable libraries (PowerShell, Bash, Python, Java) that support end-to-end execution of C2BMC scenarios on Windows/Linux hosts
- Design CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI, or similar) that integrate automated builds, test execution, result collection, and reporting
- Create proof-of-concept prototypes for emerging automation concepts (e.g., container-based test environments, model-based test generation, AI-assisted test case generation)
Lead Implementation & Execution
- Own the end-to-end delivery of automation features from requirements through design, development, testing, and deployment
- Execute and monitor automated test suites, analyze results, identify root causes of failures, and drive corrective actions
Ensure Compliance & Quality
- Apply Information Assurance (IA) policies to all automation assets; run IA scans, remediate findings, and maintain continuous compliance
- Produce clear, concise documentation (design documents, runbooks, API guides) that enable reuse and knowledge transfer
Mentorship & Collaboration
- Provide technical guidance and code review to E5 level engineers; conduct knowledge-sharing sessions on scripting and CI/CD topics
- Partner with software developers, system administrators, test leads, and IA officers to refine test requirements and resolve integration issues
- Represent the automation team in program level meetings, presenting progress, risks, and recommendations to senior leadership and customer stakeholders
Continuous Improvement
- Identify bottlenecks in the test lifecycle and propose innovative solutions (e.g., parallel test execution, test environment automation, automated environment provisioning)
- Stay current with industry trends, DoD automation initiatives, and emerging tools; evaluate and recommend adoption where appropriate
- Support occasional travel to customer sites for installation, validation, or hand over activities; adapt to flexible work hours as mission demands dictate.
Basic Qualifications
Education & Experience
- Bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline, computer science, or related field (or equivalent professional experience)
- Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience developing, maintaining, and deploying automation scripts or test frameworks in a DoD or similarly regulated environment
Certifications & Clearance
- Current DoD 8140 compliant Security+ certification (must be active on start date and maintained)
- Active DoD Secret security clearance (required for consideration)
Technical Competence
- Proficiency with Linux command-line administration and shell scripting (Bash, Zsh, etc.)
- Strong scripting/programming skills in **PowerShell, Bash, Python, and/or Java** – including writing, debugging, performance tuning, and maintenance
- Practical experience with **Git** (branching strategies, pull request reviews, conflict resolution, signed commits)
- Experience integrating applications on both **Windows and Unix/Linux** platforms (installing, configuring, and validating software stacks)
Professional Skills
- Ability to write clear, concise technical documentation and communicate effectively with developers, system administrators, test engineers, IA personnel, and senior leadership
- Demonstrated capability to work independently on complex problems while seeking guidance only when necessary
Preferred Qualifications
Leadership & Process Expertise
- Proven track record of leading automation or DevOps initiatives that resulted in measurable improvements in test cycle time, defect detection, or release frequency
- Experience with **Agile/Scrum** and **DevOps** practices (CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, automated environment provisioning)
Domain & Tool Knowledge
- Familiarity with **VMWare/vSphere**, **Hyper-V**, or container platforms (Docker, Kubernetes) used to create reproducible test environments
- Ability to read, debug, and modify application source code (C/C++, Java, etc.) to support test harness development
- Working knowledge of the **C2BMC Concept of Operations (CONOPS)**, user interface, and typical mission system workflows
Simulation & Hardware-in-the-Loop
- Prior involvement integrating mission systems with simulation frameworks, hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) test beds, or virtual test environments
Documentation & Training
- Experience authoring installation manuals, release notes, or other technical deliverables for government customers
- History of mentoring junior engineers, conducting workshops, or creating training materials"
