SW QA Engineer Associate, Simcenter

We are Siemens

Siemens Digital Industries Software is a leading provider of solutions for the design, simulation, and manufacture of products across many different industries. Formula 1 cars, skyscrapers, ships, space exploration vehicles, and many of the objects we see in our daily lives are being conceived and manufactured using our software.

We are seeking a Software QA Engineer Associate to join our international Simcenter development team and help ensure the quality, reliability, and performance of cloud-delivered engineering applications used by manufacturers worldwide.

In this role, you will design and execute comprehensive test strategies, develop scalable test automation, and validate complex CAE/CFD simulation workflows across modern web and cloud environments. Working closely with software developers, product owners, architects, and domain experts in an Agile/Scrum environment, you will contribute to delivering robust, high-quality SaaS solutions that help shape the future of engineering simulation.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and execute functional, integration, system, exploratory, and performance testing for engineering software and cloud-delivered applications.
• Validate complex CAE/CFD and simulation-driven workflows, assessing simulation setup, execution behavior, application functionality, and the credibility of engineering results.
• Develop, maintain, and enhance automated test suites, validation scripts, and supporting test tools to increase regression coverage, scalability, and delivery efficiency.
• Test user interfaces and end-to-end workflows across web-based and cloud-native environments, ensuring reliable and consistent product experiences.
• Analyze test results to identify defects, performance bottlenecks, and quality risks; clearly document findings and support root-cause analysis, troubleshooting, and fix verification.
• Collaborate with developers, product owners, architects, and domain experts to clarify requirements, establish acceptance criteria, improve test coverage, and promote quality throughout the software development lifecycle.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 3+ years of hands-on software testing experience with engineering or other technically complex, production-grade software, covering test planning, design, execution, defect analysis, and validation of complex features.
• Solid CAE/CFD background, including at least 1 year of hands-on experience with simulation setup, execution, and results analysis, preferably using Simcenter STAR-CCM+, ANSYS Fluent, or similar engineering simulation tools.
• Hands-on experience with modern web test automation frameworks such as Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or similar technologies.
• Strong programming or scripting skills in JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, or Java, with the ability to develop and maintain effective test automation and validation solutions.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and tools such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, or similar, along with working knowledge of Windows and Unix/Linux environments.
• General understanding of microservices and event-driven architectures, Agile software development methodologies, and strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and independent working skills.

Nice to Have

• Experience with API and performance testing tools such as Postman, Apache JMeter, Gatling, or similar.
• Deeper understanding of engineering simulation workflows, including problem formulation, meshing, physics modeling, solver configuration, convergence, numerical stability, and simulation result validation.
• Experience with major cloud platforms such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and an understanding of core cloud services and principles.
• Experience with HPC and parallel simulation environments, including Linux clusters, MPI-based execution, and workload schedulers such as Slurm or PBS.
• Familiarity with containerization and orchestration technologies, including Docker and Kubernetes.
