You will deal with broad issues, and will be expected to provide solutions. You will use your knowledge of software engineering processes to continually improve all aspects of Viasat's test software solutions.

You will work together with test leads of different groups to define the test strategy of their teams and make sure test coverage is complete among different teams and areas. In short, you will define the high level testing strategies, which includes implementing and leveraging CI/CD pipelines, standard libraries, and best practices.

In addition, you will have wide-reaching scope, impact and influence that extend beyond the confines of the Test organization and span the entire organization. Ultimately, you will be the foremost technical authority responsible for the overall quality of test platform deliverables across all parameters, both functional and non-functional including performance, security, usability, etc. Sound interesting?
