Test architect (Automation)

TASKS:   - Design a complete automation test strategy working closely with the Test Managers and Architects in understanding the technology, the application architecture and integration with third-part software.  - Responsible for the overall automation strategy, tools and technologies selection for the product test automation - includes component/feature test automation. Proactively bring issues and problems to the attention of the team; generate and propose solutions.  - Provide technical leadership and support in designing and implementing CI/CD. Create quality gates in the overall CI/CD strategy.  - Design and execute a test automation strategy that ensure stability and optimization of resources.  - Guide the QA Engineers in standardizing the QA practices and tools, looking at efficiency, effectiveness and performance.  - Conducting trainings and ad-hoc support for QA Engineers.  - Create automation framework and best practice for all QA practice. Evaluate new tools and implement them as they fit in the strategy.  - Oversees the maintainability of the framework, code re-factoring and performance of test runs.  - Run parallel test to reduce run time.  - Analyse and verify best automated and manual test approaches and execute acceptance, integration and system testing.  - Record test results and report and verify software bug fixes to accept automation criteria.   - Analyse performance test requirements and develop test plans and debug to understand test objective requirements.  - Execute performance testing and present results for validating and analysis to Project Teams.  - Proactively identify additional test automation opportunities and analyse potential benefits  - Estimate testing effort accurately and coordinate with team members for work activities.  - Involve in product design to guarantee adherence of test coverage for meeting end user requirements.  - Coordinate with program and development management teams in product development lifecycle to conform end user product and quality requirements and shipment schedule.  - Answer technical issues to resolve and follow up.  - Prepare software defect tracking and report status of the testing activities to stakeholders.    Must have Skills (Demonstrable experience required):    - Demonstrable experience and skills in programming languages (Python)  - Demonstrable experience and skills in designing and implementing test automation frameworks using tools such as Python, Playwright, Selenium, etc.  - Demonstrable experience and skills in designing and implementing performance testing frameworks (e.g. JMeter)  - Mathematical aptitude and strong problem-solving skills  - Ability to deliver the work accurately and with high attention to detail  - Understanding of the latest trends and their role in a commercial environment  - Ability to work in a multinational and multicultural environment;  - Professional conduct in line with the corporate behaviours, i.e., result-driven, readiness to change, customer focus, integrity and team-player approach    Nice to have:   - Air traffic domain experience (Flight, Flow, Routing, Capacity planning) would be considered an advantage  - Understanding of AIXM 4.5 and AIXM 5.1 data models and experience in Air Traffic Management system testing will be considered a unique asset  - University studies of 4 years (Master’s degree) in a relevant domain (e.g., Computer Science, Information Technology)
