The Opportunity:

CACI is seeking an HCM Test Automation and Quality Engineer to ensure the quality, reliability, and compliance of the Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM platform being deployed across the federal government as part of the HCM modernization program.

• Implement defect management processes using JIRA or equivalent tools, tracking defects from discovery through resolution with severity classification, root cause analysis, and trend reporting 

• Test integration interfaces with EHRI, eOPF, USA Staffing, payroll providers, Employee Express, MyPay, and other federal systems to validate end-to-end data flow accuracy and error handling 

• Validate Oracle quarterly update deployments by executing targeted regression test suites that verify existing configurations and integrations remain functional after each update cycle 

• Participate in SAFe Agile ceremonies as part of the quality engineering team, contributing to sprint planning, definition of done criteria, and continuous testing process improvements 

• Develop and maintain test documentation including test plans, test cases, traceability matrices mapping tests to the comprehensive functional requirements, and test execution summary reports 

• Operate with significant independence to analyze and resolve complex functional and technical issues, applying advanced techniques and serving as a go-to technical resource and mentor for less experienced team members across the program 

• Lead small work efforts and technical initiatives within the assigned functional area, contributing to team strategy, conducting technical reviews of deliverables, and guiding junior consultants on Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM best practices and solution approaches
