What are the responsibilities and job description for the QUALITY ASSURANCE ENGINEER II position at VSolvit?
*** ON-SITE: NORCO, CA ***
JOB SUMMARY
We are seeking a hands-on QA Automation Engineer to build and maintain automated quality solutions for C#/.NET REST APIs and a modern React front end that is the primary focus for current and future delivery pipelines. The role will also provide limited support for a legacy Blazor application during transition/maintenance cycles. This is a hybrid position (3–4 days onsite) in a secure environment; an active U.S. Secret security clearance is required.
As with any position, additional expectations exist. Some of these include, but are not limited to, adhering to normal working hours, meeting deadlines, following company policies as outlined by the Employee Handbook, communicating regularly with assigned supervisor(s), staying focused on the assigned tasks, and completing other tasks as assigned.
Key Responsibilities
Develop and maintain Playwright-based UI automation primarily for React applications, aligned to CI/CD pipeline execution (smoke/regression).
Provide test coverage and maintenance support for legacy Blazor UI as needed (stabilize suites, reduce flakiness, maintain critical paths).
Build and execute API test automation for C#/.NET (REST) services including contract validation, authorization, and negative testing.
Contribute to scalable automation frameworks (Page Object Model, reusable utilities, data-driven patterns, parallel runs).
Integrate automated tests into CI/CD (Azure DevOps/GitHub/Jenkins as applicable), including quality gates, reporting, and triage workflows.
Collaborate in an Agile/Scrum environment to define acceptance criteria, test strategy, and release readiness.
Log and manage defects with strong evidence and traceability using Jira (and related plugins as applicable).
Perform targeted manual and exploratory testing, support release validation, and participate in root-cause analysis.
Support secure SDLC documentation and evidence capture appropriate for government environments.
Qualifications
Required
Active Secret clearance (U.S. Citizenship required).
3 years (or equivalent) of experience in QA automation for web applications and APIs.
Strong hands-on experience with Selenium WebDriver (locators, waits, stability patterns, test maintainability).
Experience testing REST APIs and services (automation or tooling such as Postman/Newman and/or .NET test harnesses).
Working proficiency with C#/.NET and ability to debug test code and application behavior.
Demonstrated experience testing React SPAs (routing, state, async behavior, cross-browser considerations).
Comfort working on site five (5) days/week in a secure facility.
Preferred
Experience supporting or migrating from legacy Blazor applications (maintenance testing, regression stabilization, transition planning).
Experience with Jira for defect tracking, sprint/Agile workflows, dashboards, and reporting.
Experience with Playwright and/or Cypress (in addition to Selenium).
Test frameworks: NUnit/xUnit/MSTest, SpecFlow (BDD), fluent assertions.
CI/CD implementation experience (pipeline gates, test reporting, flaky-test triage).
Experience in regulated/government environments; familiarity with NIST-aligned secure development practices.
Work Location & Schedule
Five (5) days onsite/week (secure facility)
Some flexibility for limited remote work, subject to program/security policies and mission needs
Occasional off-hours support for releases/testing windows as required
