Software Test Automation Engineer

We’re currently supporting a high‑tech manufacturer of advanced industrial systems in hiring a Test Automation Engineer. In this role you will design, implement, and evolve automated testing for a C#-based Windows desktop application (front‑end and back‑end), helping ensure reliability and performance in a fast‑moving engineering environment.

What you’ll do

• Design, implement, and maintain automated test frameworks for C# desktop applications (front‑end & back‑end).
• Author UI, functional, and integration tests in C# using NUnit.
• Integrate and maintain automated test execution in GitLab CI/CD.
• Support Python scripting when helpful (e.g., data validation, CI/CD tooling, API tests).
• Execute manual testing (functional, regression, exploratory) where automation isn’t feasible.
• Collaborate closely with developers to identify coverage gaps and protect product quality.
• Maintain clear test documentation (plans, reports, automation guidelines).

Team & ways of working

You’ll join a QA/Software group within R&D in a collaborative, informal, agile environment that encourages open communication, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement. The setting is scale‑up‑like with a flat structure, room for initiative and innovation, and regular social activities that foster a close‑knit culture.

What you bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
• Proven experience designing and implementing test plans/strategies for embedded/real‑time or complex software systems.
• Strong background in test automation for Windows desktop applications (WPF/WinForms).
• Proficiency in C# for automated test development.
• Hands‑on experience with NUnit (or equivalent) and Git workflows.
• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD (preferably GitLab).
• Solid grasp of testing principles (test design, regression, integration, performance).

Nice to have

• Familiarity with desktop UI automation tools such as FlaUI (or similar).
• Exposure to industrial/complex mechatronic or control software environments.
