Engineer - QA Automation

What you'll do:

• Define test strategy: This includes understanding the product requirements, identifying the key test areas, and developing a test plan that will ensure the product meets those requirements.
• Develop test plans, scripts, and procedures: This involves creating detailed documentation that specifies the tests that will be performed, the expected results, and the steps involved in executing the tests.
• Implement robust, scalable, high-quality test automation suites: This includes using automation tools to automate as many tests as possible, which will help to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the testing process.
• The role involves configuring and executing HiL test environments to validate electrical and power system control logic under various operating and fault conditions.
• The engineer will develop, modify, or analyze MATLAB/Simulink or real-time compatible models, and understand existing system models to support control validation. This includes working with system elements such as converters, inverters, energy storage systems, generators, grid interfaces, and dynamic loads.
• Work with software engineers, developers, and test engineers: This involves collaborating with other members of the team to ensure that the product is tested thoroughly and that any defects are identified and fixed early in the development process.
• Contribute to the development of agile software engineering processes: This includes helping to implement agile practices such as continuous integration and continuous delivery, which can help to improve the quality of the product and the speed of development.
• Be proactive in writing tests and testing to ensure quality production code: This involves taking the initiative to write tests and to test the product, even if it is not explicitly required.
• Demonstrate, present, and document solutions: This involves being able to clearly communicate the results of the testing process to other stakeholders, such as product managers, developers, and customers.
• Provide work estimates and participate in design, implementation, and code reviews: This involves being able to estimate the amount of work required to complete a task, and to provide feedback on the design, implementation, and code of the product.
• Drive process improvements within the software development team and the Business Unit: This involves identifying areas where the testing process can be improved, and then working to implement those improvements.
• Experience with Microsoft Azure, IEC 611131-3 ST (in the Codesys runtime), C#, C++, JavaScript, HTML, and Python: This is a must-have for this role, as the product is developed using these technologies.
• Experience with Hardware In Loop (HIL) testing: This is a valuable skill for this role, as the product is tested using a HIL setup.
• Experience with agile software development methodologies: This is a desirable skill for this role, as the company uses agile development methodologies.
• Experience in test automation: Automating testing and result reporting is a desirable skill for this role. As are experience in CI/CD tools and practices, Azure DevOps (ADO), and similar tools and methodologies
• Problem-solving and analytical skills: This is essential for this role, as the QA Engineer will need to be able to identify and troubleshoot problems, as well as to analyze the results of the testing process.
