Software Test Engineer Contract Jobs in Washington

Test Engineer, ICAM Systems
 

Make an Impact Where It Matters Most

At Intelliforce, we build and sustain identity systems that mission teams rely on every day. In this role, you will support an Enterprise Identity, Credential, and Access Management system by helping ensure new capabilities work as intended and new releases do not break what already matters. You will be part of a cross-functional team focused on quality, reliability, and confidence across a platform where stability and backward compatibility are critical.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

This role gives you the chance to work at the point where engineering quality meets mission trust. You will help create, execute, and document both manual and automated tests across new and existing ICAM capabilities, working closely with software engineers, system engineers, platform engineers, administrators, and fellow test engineers. The work blends test strategy, automation, defect tracking, regression coverage, and performance analysis, so your impact is visible in every release.

At Intelliforce, your work is visible and your contributions matter. Because we support prime programs, our teams stay close to meaningful mission work with real momentum. Because we are a small business, leadership is accessible, communication is direct, and strong engineering gets noticed. Add in long-term stability, strong benefits, and a people-first culture, and this becomes more than another test role. It is a chance to help protect the quality of systems mission users depend on every day.

Here’s What Your Day-to-Day Could Include

• Collaborate with software engineers to develop effective testing strategies and test cases
• Create automated testing frameworks and test harnesses
• Discover, report, and track testing defects
