Insight Global Secret Software Test Engineer in Westminster, Colorado
Job Description
Insight Global is hiring multiple Software Test Engineers, a Test Lead and a Software Test/QA Manager to support a defense contract in Westminster, CO. The mission is focused on the development, integration, and qualification of software-defined RF mission capabilities for next-generation aircraft systems. This effort modernizes how aircraft sense, identify, and communicate in contested environments by delivering flexible, software-first solutions that operate on open architectures rather than proprietary hardware.
The program includes development and test of two major software capabilities: Monostatic Radar
and Identify Friend or Foe – Interrogate (IFF‑I). All software is developed in C++, aligned to prescribed government reference architectures and coding standards. Test and integration span unclassified and classified environments, including Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) pipelines, culminating in Functional Qualification Testing (FQT). The Software Testing Manager serves as the single management point of contact for the software test workstream. This individual leads an independent test team and owns staffing, onboarding, delivery governance, reporting, risk management, and continuous improvement across the lifecycle of the program.
Key Responsibilities:
Design test frameworks, standards, and automation approaches
Develop and maintain automated test suites
Integrate automated tests into CI/CD or gated build pipelines
Ensure automation coverage aligns with risk and critical paths
Execute test cases and exploratory testing
Validate integrations, workflows, and edge cases
Log and validate defects with clear reproduction steps
Support regression, smoke, and release readiness testing
Participate in requirements reviews and backlog refinement
