Job Description
This role is responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining automated testing frameworks for FEMA’s enterprise grants systems. The SDET II ensures that FEMA GO and related applications maintain high reliability, accessibility, security, and performance standards. You will collaborate closely with developers, Business Analysts, product owners, and DevSecOps engineers to implement automation strategies that strengthen FEMA’s mission-critical capabilities.
Primary Responsibilities
Automation Architecture & Development
• Design, develop, and maintain automated test scripts for functional, regression, performance, API, and integration testing using Selenium, Protractor, Jasmine, Cucumber/Gherkin, or equivalent tools.
• Build and optimize scalable automation frameworks, including Selenium Grid, parallel execution, cross-browser automation, containerized test suites, and cloud-compatible runners.
• Implement AI-assisted development and testing approaches to accelerate script generation, data creation, defect triage, and coverage validation.
Quality Engineering & DevSecOps Integration
• Develop test strategies, plans, scripts, and automated pipelines integrated into FEMA’s DevSecOps environment (CI/CD, GitLab/GitHub, Docker).
• Support Section 508/WCAG accessibility assessments within automation workflows.
• Collaboratively refine acceptance criteria and enable Acceptance Test Driven Development (ATDD) across multiple agile teams.
Data & Metrics Management
• Define meaningful test metrics, KPIs, dashboards, and reporting mechanisms for leadership visibility.
• Manage automated test data, synthetic datasets, and validation rules across distributed systems.
• Perform advanced debugging, log analysis, root-cause identification, and cross-system defect reproduction.
Cross-functional Collaboration
• Partner with Business Analysts, developers, and Product Owners to evaluate business logic, user flows, and edge cases.
• Influence design, architecture, and user experience by identifying testability gaps and advocating for quality-focused engineering practices.
• Provide mentorship to junior testers and contribute to best-practice documentation.
Required Qualifications:
• Ability to obtain a FEMA EOD
• Bachelor’s degree plus 7 year’s of experience
• Strong programming/scripting skills (Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, etc.) with passion for automated testing.
• Minimum 5 years in test automation and 3 years in manual testing.
• Hands-on experience with:
o Selenium Grid / WebDriver
o Protractor or Jasmine
o Cucumber/Gherkin
