QA Automation Engineer

Requires Skills: Java/Python, Test Automation, API Testing, Selenium/Playwright, CI/CD

 Maintain deep understanding of AHS architecture, dependencies, and safety constraints;
translate this knowledge into risk-based test plans and automated coverage.
 Partner with product and engineering teams to extract, refine, and document
functional + nonfunctional requirements; ensure each requirement has measurable
acceptance criteria and automated validation.

 Own the end-to-end quality strategy—including functional, performance, security, and fail
over testing—leveraging service virtualization, contract testing, and containerized
environments to maximize parallel execution in CI/CD.
 Design, implement, and continuously enhance robust automation frameworks. Integrate tests
seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines with infrastructure as code provisioning.
 Drive a shift left culture: embed test hooks at design time, manage test data versioning, and
maintain high signal regression suites that execute on every merge.
 Lead execution of manual edge case and exploratory tests; automate everything else.
Publish clear dashboards for pass/fail trends, defect escape rate, and MTTR; use metrics to
guide continuous improvement.
 Facilitate blameless postmortems, identify systemic issues, and convert findings into
preventative automated checks.
 Oversee compatibility matrices and deployment configurations, support field teams during
installation, configuration, and on-site validation.
 Mentor engineers, champion coding standards for test development, and pilot new tools or
methodologies that increase team productivity and product quality. Coordinate cross
functional initiatives to mature quality practices enterprise wide.
 Be able to occasionally travel internationally.
