## About the Role

Required. Current DHS Trusted Tester Level 5 (or later) certification - hard requirement. Basic knowledge of the Revised Section 508 Standards. One year of accessibility testing experience.
Also needed. WCAG 2.0 A and AA familiarity. Screen reader familiarity with JAWS, NVDA, or VoiceOver. Careful documentation habits - a defect recorded ambiguously is a defect someone else has to retest. Willingness to have your work reviewed and corrected; quality review is built into this program by design. Interest in growing into document remediation and advisory work, since this role sits directly below two seats that do both.

## Description

~1,504 hours/year, about 29 hours per week
The work. The web testing seat. You test web content and applications against the federal conformance standard using the government's own test process, and document what you find so responsible teams can fix it and the program can report accurately. The Senior Accessibility SME quality-reviews your test records, which become the basis for compliance reporting to executives and oversight bodies. Consistency and completeness matter here as much as speed.

 * Perform Section 508 conformance testing of ICT using current approved assessment methods, test reporting tools, and formats.

 * Test using the DHS Trusted Tester Conformance Test Process for Web, v5.0 or later.

 * Document results completely and accurately in the required format for quality review and program reporting.

 * Support technical assistance and remediation guidance work as testing volume allows.
