DecisionPoint | Cortek; United States; Remote; USD 110,000 - 170,000; Full time

Job summary

DecisionPoint | Cortek seeks an Integration/Test Automation Engineer to build and maintain automated regression, API, integration, and load tests for the USMEPCOM ENLIST program. Remote with Chicago-area candidates preferred, you will drive test coverage and reproducible results throughout the software lifecycle.

You will collaborate with developers, integration engineers, cybersecurity, CI/CD, and government stakeholders to enhance regression coverage, validate interfaces, and deliver timely,

Qualifications

• Active Secret clearance or higher.
• Bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, systems engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience where permitted by the applicable labor category.
• Minimum of ten years of relevant experience in enterprise architecture, systems architecture, systems engineering, solution architecture, software architecture, or a related tech

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, execute, maintain, and improve automated software tests.
• Build automated regression suites covering critical application capabilities and mission workflows.
• Develop API tests that validate requests, responses, schemas, authentication, authorization, error handling, and business rules.
• Develop integration tests that validate interfaces, adapters, services, data exchanges, dependencies, and end-to-end processing.
• Develop load and performance tests to evaluate throughput, response time, concurrency, resource utilization, stability, and failure behavior.
• Translate requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, interface specifications, data mappings, and technical designs into automated test coverage.
• Maintain traceability among automated tests, requirements, interfaces, defects, and release content.
• Design and maintain representative test data for positive, negative, boundary, exception, and high-volume scenarios.
• Develop repeatable processes for test-data creation, setup, masking, refresh, reset, reconciliation, and cleanup.
• Protect sensitive data and use approved synthetic, masked, or controlled test data.
• Integrate automated tests into approved continuous-integration and continuous-delivery pipelines.
• Configure appropriate triggers, quality gates, result thresholds, notifications, and failure conditions.
• Ensure automated tests provide timely and actionable feedback to development, testing, integration, and operations teams.
• Maintain automated execution across development, integration, test, staging, and other approved environments.
• Improve test reliability by identifying and correcting unstable, inconsistent, environment-dependent, or non-deterministic tests.
• Produce complete and reproducible test results, logs, reports, metrics, and objective evidence.
• Document test configurations, dependencies, data conditions, execution procedures, expected results, and known limitations.
• Analyze failed tests and distinguish product defects from test-script, test-data, environment, configuration, or dependency issues.
• Create clear defect reports with reproducible steps, expected and actual results, evidence, and affected requirements.
• Support defect triage, root-cause analysis, correction verification, and regression testing.
• Coordinate with API and integration engineers to validate service contracts, mappings, schemas, data transformations, and interoperability.
• Coordinate with CI/CD engineers to improve automated execution, artifact retention, test reporting, and pipeline reliability.
• Coordinate with cybersecurity personnel to validate security corrections and integrate approved security testing where applicable.
• Support Government demonstrations, user acceptance testing, release testing, and operational validation.
• Provide automation coverage, execution status, defect trends, performance results, and quality risks for release-readiness decisions.
• Participate in sprint planning, backlog refinement, daily coordination, reviews, demonstrations, and retrospectives.
• Maintain test source code, scripts, configurations, data, and documentation in approved version-control repositories.
• Participate in peer reviews, code reviews, test reviews, and technical walkthroughs.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of automation frameworks, test data, CI/CD integration, performance testing, and quality practices.
