****3/25 supplier call notes:
This is an Unusual position this is not a software development team. This team is a group that works with both legal and software development teams to help review intellectual property
Resource will Primarily abstract and enter data (think medical or legal type) - looking at data and entering into a form. Will then use that info to create reports
*Excel experience is key (developing or using macros in excel, creating formula in excel, making entries to cells, sorting, etc)
Manage projects in ticketing system experience in ticketing would be helpful (maybe IT support ticketing)
The types of teams and types of domain areas the team works with intellectual property with a legal team, open-source software teams, project management teams. Need experience working with a lot of teams and different types of people.
Looking for 5 years of work experience work experience is more important that education experience
Need analytical capabilities dont need engineer experience
Its helpful if they understand software licensing, the team can teach them the open-source portion. But someone will have a leg up if they understand open-source licensing and projects.
Skills as an analyst in Medical, legal, financial area is more important than open-source experience
Experience abstracting and entering into forms as an analyst is portable across various business domains
Dont want to see software developers this would be a boring job for someone that wants to write software
Someone highly technical or wants to be an engineer wouldnt be the job for them
Day to day
This person would be assigned a set of tickets to determine where they need to go in the review system. Will Look at flagged info and make determinations about categories. Then those categories feed into developing reports. Resource would then review with legal team or software team.
As they become more skilled, will be trained on other tasks as well
Most of time spent Looking at software and making categorizations
Using excel to generate and format reports
Speaking with legal team and software team and translating between the two to help each team understand what is needed
Comments for Suppliers: 12 month assignment.
Hybrid, must be local. Onsite 2 days/week, Tuesday & Wednesday. May work onsite more days, if desired.
The QCST team does not expect an engineering background. Other requests from related teams at *** may have requested engineers, but that is not a requirement for the QCST Sr. QA.
