Senior Software Test Engineer

About the role

We are hiring a Senior Software Test Engineer to own the automated test frameworks, quality assurance tooling, and integration pipelines for our core systems.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and deploy automated test frameworks and internal validation tools used by software, hardware, and operations teams.
• Develop end-to-end integration tests, regression suites, and ETL data quality checks to validate system telemetry and third-party API integrations.
• Build backend integration services and test automation scripts (Python, TypeScript, or Java) to simulate real-world operational environments.
• Establish monitoring, automated alerting, and CI/CD testing pipelines to ensure continuous integration and software quality across deployments.
• Investigate complex software, firmware, and data integration failures, conducting root-cause analysis across distributed systems.
• Partner directly with cross-functional engineering teams to define test plans, qualification procedures, and system performance benchmarks.

Requirements

• 6+ years of professional software test engineering or test automation experience.
• Strong programming skills in Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, or Java for building automated test suites, tooling, and integration frameworks.
• Solid experience testing RESTful APIs, integration services, and complex data flows across microservices architectures.
• Strong SQL and database query skills for validating data correctness, schema evolution, and backend pipeline execution.
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, Jenkins) and containerized deployment environments (Docker, AWS, Kubernetes).
• Clear written and verbal communication, with a bias for direct collaboration and fast execution.

Bonus points

• Experience with test framework orchestration tools (pytest, Cypress, Playwright, or similar).
• Familiarity with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, bus communication protocols, or edge-to-cloud data verification.
• Experience testing event-driven systems or queue-based integration patterns.
• Exposure to defense, maritime, or regulated environments with strict software verification and validation (V&V) standards.
