CAE Automation Engineer_(SA2115)

• A primary focus will be on designing, writing, enhancing, and
  maintaining automated test scripts using languages like Python or similar.
  You'll help build a robust regression test suite for products
  
• Architect and implement automated tests specifically targeting
  challenging user interface and graphics-intensive test cases. You'll
  leverage tools like Python, Perl,  Eggplant or similar, pushing the
  boundaries of what's automatable.
  
• Create programs or scripts that automate test cases from
  real-world engineering functionalities like import/export, FE model
  creation, analysis setup, or post-processing tasks.
  
• Proactively translate existing manual test cases into efficient
  automated scripts, ensuring comprehensive coverage, improved efficiency,
  and faster feedback cycles. You'll design tests that effectively validate
  new features and existing functionality.
  
• Develop and prepare model files necessary to support and
  validate automated test functions within products.
  
• Update the current suite of automated tests to align with the
  latest product releases and add new automated tests for functional areas
  that currently lack automation.
  
• Work closely with senior QA engineers and software developers,
  actively contributing to discussions on test strategy, automation
  architecture, and the integration of automated tests into our continuous
  integration pipelines.
