Document results, defects, anomalies, risks, and configuration changes in Jira and maintain the validation portion of requirements traceability.

Support sprint planning, reviews, demonstrations, release readiness, customer acceptance, and post-deployment validation.

Collaborate with developers, business analysts, configuration management, DevSecOps, cybersecurity, and customer stakeholders to resolve defects and improve built-in quality.

Lead testing for assigned capabilities or releases and coordinate test execution across dependent components.

Demonstrated experience leading test design and execution for complex software, cloud, integration, or mission systems.

Experience with test automation, test data management, DevOps or CI tools, source control, and Agile software delivery.
