JOB SUMMARY

The Software Developer in Test Automation (SDET) is a hands‑on technical engineer responsible for building and advancing intelligent test automation solutions across software, firmware, APIs, and cloud‑connected systems.

This role emphasizes automation development, AI‑assisted testing, and CI / CD integration—minimizing traditional manual testing and documentation activities.

You’ll design robust frameworks, develop AI‑enhanced and self‑healing automation systems, and drive continuous quality improvements through data, telemetry, and automation intelligence. As the Voice of Automation, you’ll work closely with development and DevOps teams to ensure high‑quality, continuously validated product releases.

You will

• Design and implement advanced automation frameworks for UI, API, and system testing.
• Apply AI / ML methods to enable intelligent test selection, self‑healing tests, anomaly detection, and predictive defect analysis.
• Build adaptive, data‑driven, and model‑based test systems for large‑scale test coverage.
• Utilize production insights and telemetry to guide automated regression prioritization and quality reporting.
• Automate end‑to‑end validation across software, devices, and IoT ecosystems.
• Test API integrations, firmware / embedded systems, and cloud workflows through automated suites.
• Use contract and interface validation to ensure system reliability and interoperability.
• Focus manual validation efforts solely on high‑value exploratory and investigative testing.
• Integrate automated tests seamlessly into CI / CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps.
• Implement automated quality gates, regression checks, and real‑time quality dashboards.
• Develop pipelines that leverage AI insights for predictive build validation and failure analysis.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to embed automation early in the SDLC.
• Mentor others on automation architecture, AI‑based testing practices, and best‑in‑class tooling.
• Champion an automation‑first, data‑driven quality culture throughout the organization.
• Develop automation for hardware–software integration testing and IoT device validation.
• Use network analysis tools (e.g., Wireshark) to support automated diagnostics of connectivity and communication protocols.
