Union Technologies is reindustrializing America’s defense manufacturing base with a first-of-its-kind Factories-as-a-Stockpile™ model, integrating advanced robotics, manufacturing, and software into sovereign factory systems at scale. Software reliability is a mission-critical requirement in defense manufacturing. Every defect has downstream impacts on safety, compliance, and throughput.
Requirements
- 3–5+ years in software QA, including test plan design and execution.
- Strong experience testing APIs (REST/gRPC) and data workflows.
- Solid understanding of relational databases (SQL) and data validation practices.
- Hands-on experience with test automation frameworks and CI/CD pipelines.
- Familiarity with defect management systems and structured reporting.
- Experience with testing frameworks: Puppeteer, Playwright, Postman, k6/JMeter
- Experience with CI/CD: GitHub Actions, Kubernetes-based environments
Responsibilities
- Define, maintain, and execute manual and automated test plans across services, APIs, and user interfaces.
- Validate factory-critical workflows: work order execution, part genealogy, traceability, and inventory accuracy.
- Develop regression suites that prevent defects from reappearing in production.
- Collaborate with engineers to design testable requirements, acceptance criteria, and edge cases.
- Build and monitor QA pipelines in CI/CD, enabling automated validation before each release.
- Verify system behavior under load using stress and performance testing tools.
- Document, track, and prioritize defects; ensure root cause analysis and prevention.
Other
- Detail-oriented, with strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Experience with manufacturing execution systems (MES) or industrial software.
- Familiarity with IIoT data ingestion, OPC UA, or MTConnect.
- Background in performance/load testing of distributed systems.
- Knowledge of compliance standards (CMMC/NIST 800-171, ISO 9001, AS9100).
