We are seeking a talented and
- oriented Software Test Engineer to join our team. As part of an exciting project to build an enterprise knowledge graph for the manufacturing domain, you will play a key role in shaping the future of how production line data is analyzed and leveraged across our global network. This knowledge graph will offer a unified view of production line assets, enabling businesses to track which products are being built where, at which performance levels, all independent of the underlying traceability and ERP systems.

Our software goes beyond traditional data integration, not only providing a web API to access this valuable data but also offering a web user interface that delivers a Google-like search experience. The interface allows users to explore structured views and capture additional data on relationships that are otherwise unavailable from the original data sources. As we scale this solution, test automation will be critical to ensuring the robustness and reliability of our system, and we need you to help us transition from manual testing to an automated pipeline.

Your contribution to something big:

Requirement Analysis and Test Strategy:

• Analyze business and technical requirements written in Gherkin and collaborate with stakeholders to understand the functional scope of the knowledge graph, search features, and UI interactions.
• Design and document test cases, translating Gherkin scenarios into automated tests using Python.
• Collaborate with developers and product teams to ensure test cases align with features, ensuring comprehensive test coverage across the platform (API, UI, and data integration layers).

Test Automation:

• Implement and maintain automated test scripts using Python and Selenium Web
  Driver, transitioning from manual testing to automated test execution for both the web API and user interface.
• Work with the current test automation stack (Python, Selenium, Docker, Git
  Hub Actions, Jira with X-ray) and migrate manual test cases to automated scripts in a CI/CD pipeline.
• Ensure proper integration of test automation into the overall development workflow, including continuous testing as part of the CI/CD process.

Migration and Improvement:

• Lead and participate in the migration of manual testing processes to an automated environment, identifying opportunities for improvement and efficiency gains within the existing and evolving test automation stack.
• Investigate new testing tools and frameworks, making recommendations for changes or updates to the test automation stack.

Test Execution and Reporting:

• Execute automated tests in a variety of environments, ensuring tests cover critical business flows and edge cases related to the knowledge graph's data, API, and user interface.
• Continuously monitor and report on test execution results, identifying trends, issues, and areas of improvement.
• Collaborate with the QA and development teams to troubleshoot and resolve test failures, especially related to complex data relationships in the knowledge graph.

Continuous Learning and Growth:

• Stay current on industry trends, testing practices, and technologies, and proactively bring ideas for improving automation processes and tools.
