Role & responsibilities
C#: Strong programming experience for building and maintaining robust, maintainable automation frameworks and test scripts.
UFT (Unified Functional Testing): Hands-on experience automating functional and regression tests for Windows desktop applications.
SilkTest: Demonstrated experience authoring and maintaining automated functional/regression scripts.
Silk Central: Practical experience using Silk Central for test management, execution, scheduling, and results reporting.
UI Automation / Accessibility Frameworks: Working knowledge of UIA and MSAA, and the fragility of COM / UI automation in legacy desktop apps.
Test Design and Defect Lifecycle: Ability to design test cases with measurable, quantified acceptance criteria (e.g., launch time, CPU/memory ceilings, recognition accuracy baselines) rather than subjective pass/fail, and to drive defects from triage to closure.
Comfort working in a large,



legacy enterprise Windows codebase with established patterns and constraints.

Nice To Have Skills
Background in speech, audio, NLP, or accessibility products (a plus, not required if Windows desktop automation depth is robust).
Experience automating across Office integration surfaces (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams) and WebView2-based surfaces relevant to Recent Outlook (Monarch) and Copilot.
Familiarity with installer-driven release risk, smoke-test gating, and regression exit criteria as delivery signals.
Exposure to performance, stability, and long-session validation for desktop applications.
Scripting beyond C# (e.g., PowerShell/Python) for test data, setting setup, and CI integration.
