• Perform functional and integration testing of AI/LLM-enabled services and workflows, including expected behavior, access controls, and interactions with other prototype capabilities. 

• Maintain requirements-to-test traceability and document objective evidence demonstrating that requirements have been verified and validated. 

• Identify, document, prioritize, and track defects through resolution; retest corrective actions and support root-cause analysis as needed. 

• Develop and implement automated test cases using the Pester testing framework to validate cloud automation, runbooks, and infrastructure operations. 

• Support automated testing where practical and integrate repeatable test execution into DevSecOps pipelines. 

• Assess capability readiness prior to bi-weekly showcases, formal demonstrations, and prototype acceptance activities. 

• Participate in Agile ceremonies, technical reviews, backlog refinement, demonstrations, and cross-functional engineering activities. 

• Ensure 100% of planned hours are worked and recorded 

• Identify and forward to your leadership any opportunities that could lead to growth within your work area 

• Participate in growth efforts as requested 

• Ensure all contractual deliverables are met/exceeded to the customer's satisfaction
