Test Engineer / UAT Support Lead (REMOTE)

About the role

Koniag IT Systems, LLC, a Koniag Government Services company, is seeking a Test Engineer/UAT Support Lead with a Secret security clearance to support KITS and our government customer. The position is remote.

Responsibilities

• Develop, implement, and maintain the program Master Test Plan, establishing the comprehensive strategy, methodology, scope, and schedule for all test and evaluation activities across the enablement program, including integration testing, system testing, regression testing, security testing, and UAT.
• Design and maintain an overarching UAT test plan that captures all potential test parameters, test scenarios, and acceptance criteria necessary for a successful UAT by Application Owners, incorporating Zero Trust relevant requirements and ICAM platform validation criteria into all test planning artifacts.
• Develop application-specific test plans, test cases, and test procedures tailored to each application's unique integration configuration, protocol implementation, and access control design, providing Application Owners with clear and actionable guidance for executing their own UAT activities.
• Lead and manage the execution of integration testing and system testing activities for all enablement solutions prior to delivery to Application Owners, validating that Okta IdP and SailPoint IGA connections are correctly configured, functional, and secure before UAT is initiated.
• Provide dedicated test support to Application Owners throughout their UAT activities, including facilitating UAT planning sessions, providing sample code for common integration patterns and reusable test libraries, troubleshooting integration defects identified during testing, and assisting with defect resolution activities.
• Prepare comprehensive Software Test Reports documenting observations, findings, defect logs, resolution status, and overall pass/fail determinations for each UAT event conducted with Application Owners, ensuring all test reports meet CDRL quality and timeliness requirements.
• Manage the deficiency reporting lifecycle across the program, ensuring all deficiencies identified during testing are documented, tracked, analyzed, and resolved in accordance with applicable technical orders, reporting requirements, and the program configuration management plan, including preparation of SF368 reports or equivalent as required.
• Establish and enforce UAT entry and exit criteria for all applications in the enablement pipeline, ensuring that applications only proceed to UAT when integration prerequisites are satisfied and that UAT is not declared successful until all acceptance criteria have been demonstrably met.
• Carefully coordinate with the Security and Release Lead to integrate security testing requirements into all test plans and test execution activities, ensuring that security-relevant test cases are included in integration testing and UAT and that security findings are properly documented and resolved prior to production deployment.
• Support verification of successful enablement by documenting and reporting UAT outcomes that demonstrate each application's utilization of DAF ICAM capabilities, supporting the Government's validation audit cycle that matches network traffic to enabled applications against ICAM technical stack operational logs.
• Develop and maintain a centralized test documentation repository, ensuring all test plans, test cases, test reports, defect logs, and UAT artifacts are organized, version-controlled, and accessible to Government stakeholders through the CDRL A009 Data Accession List process.
• Contribute to the development and continuous improvement of test methodologies, reusable test case libraries, UAT guidance documentation, and standard operating procedures to support consistent, efficient, and scalable testing across the full application portfolio.
• Track and report on testing program metrics, contributing accurate and timely test status data to the Enablement Tracking Database and Metrics Dashboard, including application testing phase status, defect counts, UAT completion rates, and overall testing program health indicators.
• Provide technical guidance and coaching to Application Owners navigating the UAT process, translating complex integration testing requirements into clear, actionable instructions accessible to teams with varying levels of technical expertise.
• Ensure all testing activities and test documentation comply with applicable DoD security requirements, including CUI handling, OPSEC, Section 508 accessibility standards, and DoD cybersecurity certification requirements.
• Maintain current knowledge of evolving ICAM platform capabilities, identity integration standards, Zero Trust testing requirements, and federal IT testing best practices, continuously applying updated knowledge to improve test program quality and effectiveness.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, Information Systems, Software Engineering, or a related field from an accredited college or university.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in information technology, with at least 3 years of direct experience in software testing, systems integration testing, or test program management in a federal government IT environment.
• Demonstrated experience developing and executing test plans, test cases, and test procedures for enterprise software or systems integration programs.
• Experience managing or supporting User Acceptance Testing (UAT) activities in a structured federal IT program context, including test planning, execution oversight, defect tracking, and test reporting.
• Active Secret clearance. Must be able to satisfy requirements for CAC-card issuance and NIPRNet access, including annual DoD CyberAwareness training and certification.
