Software Test Engineer 1

at  Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Overview:
Protecting U.S. residents and visitors is among our nation’s highest priorities. As adversaries gain access to sophisticated technologies and materials, the threats grow more dynamic and complex—from cyber and nuclear to chemical and biological weapons of mass effect and other forms of terrorism. The PNNL national security mission employs our researchers, tools, and technologies to play a key role in advancing the ability to identify and secure nuclear materials, detect weapons of mass effect, manage nonproliferation treaties, secure our nation’s borders, and protect critical infrastructures. PNNL’s scientific discovery and capabilities—rooted in innovative theory, methods, algorithms, and tools—are enabling stronger, more resilient technologies and systems to safeguard national security. Coupled with decades of radiological and nuclear materials expertise, advanced computing and threat analysis capabilities, and a broad fundamental science base, we are identifying and countering emerging threats that have significant impact at home and around the globe.
Join a group of 90+ software engineers using the latest technologies to solve the hardest problems for our nation. We are seeking a software test engineer I to design, build, and deploy automated test solutions for scalable data pipelines and analytics/machine learning solutions.

Responsibilities:
A day in the life of a software test engineer at PNNL might start by reviewing any open pull requests on the group’s Git repository or checking for any failed deployment builds on your current projects. As you’re finishing up your second cup of coffee, you attend a pair-programming session with a teammate to implement a cypress automated test to verify a new background-service within the API. After a productive half-hour, they have a clear path forward and can continue.
You begin the next assigned work-ticket, which involves putting together a new build in Bamboo or GitLab to simplify common build/test/deploy procedures. Next, you might study user requirements for the new project you’re on before honing your creativity skills and designing a cypress UI test. Satisfied with your test, you send them out for review and reflect on another productive and exciting day applying your skills to make the nation more secure.
Missing some of these skills or experiences? That’s okay. If you have relevant technical expertise, are highly driven, and are very motivated to learn these technologies and tackle these domain problems, let’s talk.
