- A primary focus will be on designing, writing, enhancing, and maintaining automated test scripts using languages like Python or similar. You'll help build a robust regression test suite for products

- Architect and implement automated tests specifically targeting challenging user interface and graphics-intensive test cases. You'll leverage tools like Python, Perl, Eggplant or similar, pushing the boundaries of what's automatable.

- Create programs or scripts that automate test cases from real-world engineering functionalities like import/export, FE model creation, analysis setup, or post-processing tasks.

- Proactively translate existing manual test cases into efficient automated scripts, ensuring comprehensive coverage, improved efficiency, and faster feedback cycles. You'll design tests that effectively validate new features and existing functionality.

- Develop and prepare model files necessary to support and validate automated test functions within products.

- Update the current suite of automated tests to align with the latest product releases and add new automated tests for functional areas that currently lack automation.

- Work closely with senior QA engineers and software developers, actively contributing to discussions on test strategy, automation architecture, and the integration of automated tests into our continuous integration pipelines.

Requirements

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field with hands-on software development experience.

- 3-5 years of skilled experience in test automation within Software Quality Engineering,



with a robust portfolio of automation projects.

- Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python and Perl and experience with building a web application.
Experience with version control systems like Git, Gitlab or GitHub.
- Expertise in Python and Django (or Django REST Framework).

- Strong mastery of OOP design patterns, clean code, and API design.

- Experience with relational databases, specifically Postgres and MySQL.

- Hands-on experience setting up and managing CI/CD workflows (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI).

- Desired experience with VS Code and AI development tools like Copilot and Claude.

- Experience with developing regression, QA automation workflows and high-performance computing (HPC) workflows.

- Exposure or experience with software development for desktop simulations products like Hyperworks, and/or FEA solver tools (e.g. OptiStruct, NASTRAN, ABAQUS, RADIOSS etc.)

- Hands-on automation experience with tools like Eggplant or similar.

- Demonstrates a proactive, can-do attitude with strong logical reasoning and problem-solving abilities; thrives as a positive and collaborative team player, shows resilience in challenging situations, and brings innovative, out-of-the-box thinking to drive solutions.

- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, enabling effective collaboration.
