Job Description:

GDIT's Manual Test Engineers transform technology into opportunity by shaping the direction of mission-critical government projects, ensuring the safety and well-being of vital systems while simultaneously growing and developing their skills for the future.

 

One such project, the Case Management Modernization (CMM) Program, is an initiative to support the Administrative Office (AO) of the US Courts develop a modern, cloud-based solution to support all federal courts across the United States which are grouped into three types: namely Appellate, District, and Bankruptcy. This modernized case management system will eventually replace the current Case Management and Electronic Case Filing (CM/ECF) system.

 

The Manual Test Engineer supports the CMM Program by performing manual test design, execution, and validation of system functionality, integration, and user experience.

The Manual Test Engineer ensures test accuracy, documentation quality, and traceability for all system releases in alignment with Agile and SAFe delivery models.

 

At GDIT, our people are the heart and soul of all that we do. If you're a Manual Test Engineer who has the skills and experience to support the CMM Program's important mission, then we can't wait to discuss how you can join our family and help us execute this critical work. GDIT is your place -- come make it your own.
