Senior Software Testing Manager

SAIC has an immediate need for a Senior Software Testing Manager to support the Precision Fires team supporting the Aviation and Missile Center located in Huntsville, AL onsite at Redstone Arsenal.  

JOB DUTIES:

People Leadership and Development

• Leads the team in development of test plans, test schedule, and approach for all testing environments 
• Conducts a walk through on test needs with Test Managers, Requirement Leads, Project Managers, and Development Leads
• Give direct, timely, specific feedback in a way that makes clear you are invested in the person receiving it, and ask for the same about your own leadership
• Own performance management for your reports: goal setting, reviews, compensation input, recognition, honest intervention when performance falls short, and advocacy in promotion calibration.  Coach rather than rescue

Team Culture and Engagement

• Connect the team's day-to-day work to the mission it serves, so every engineer understands why their work matters to the warfighter and to the program
• Build an inclusive team by setting norms that work across time zones and working styles: protected overlap hours, written updates that don't require everyone online at once, fair meeting times, and decisions recorded where people can find them later 

Delivery and Execution

• Own the team's ability to execute against the priorities and sprint plan it is given: staffing, skill coverage, workflow, and the engineering practices that keep delivery predictable, including code review, test automation, CI/CD, definition of done, and release readiness
• Give product management and the product owner a clear read on the team's capacity and staffing risk, and take part in sprint planning and the team's other ceremonies
