Senior QA SDET, Aechelon Technology

• BA/BS in Computer Science or equivalent work experience
• Some experience with software testing or quality engineering
• Solid understanding of software development lifecycles
• Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills
• Eligibility to work with export-controlled technology
• Practical experience applying AI tools in QA tasks

Desirable

• As a member of the Quality Assurance team, the Senior QA SDET will help ensure the quality and reliability of Aechelon's simulation software, tools, and 3D visual database products through system-level testing, automation development, and validation of complex feature sets
• In addition, they will participate in the design and implementation of automated test frameworks, test utilities, and validation strategies that improve test coverage, efficiency, and product quality
• They will also use existing and future AI-assisted tools to enhance testing processes, generate automated test cases, and support quality initiatives across multiple product teams
• Leads validation for complex systems spanning multiple components and teams, defining test strategy that covers functional, regression, performance, and reliability risks. Prevents high-impact regressions through proactive planning and deep technical triage
• Creates robust automation and test utilities that materially improve signal quality (reduced flakiness, faster triage, better coverage). Serves as a subject-matter expert who elevates team execution and release confidence
• Utilizes AI to create automated test cases, improve current process and level up test quality
• Owns large feature areas or subsystems spanning multiple components, including complex interactions across runtime, tools, data, and rendering. Leads cross-team testing efforts and coordinates quality activities for major deliveries
• Defines validation strategy for complex changes, including automation approach, performance considerations, and fidelity checks. Acts as a technical point of contact for quality risk and testability discussions
• Own large feature areas or subsystems that span multiple components across Aechelon products, including complex interactions involving runtime, tools, data, and rendering
• Leads validation for complex systems spanning multiple components or subsystems, coordinating quality activities across ownership boundaries
• Define and drive validation strategies for complex or high-risk changes, including test scope, automation approach, performance considerations, and fidelity or correctness checks
• Serve as the primary technical point of contact for quality risk assessment, testability discussions, and release readiness for owned areas
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior QA engineers, reviewing test plans, test cases, and automation contributions to ensure consistency, coverage, and effectiveness
• Identify gaps in coverage, tooling, or process, and influence improvements that scale quality across teams and releases
• Focus on Tool Development & AI:
• Define and drive validation strategies for complex or high-risk changes, with a strong emphasis on Python-based tool development, including test frameworks, utilities, and data-driven validation
• Design, implement, and maintain tool and testing technology in Python that replace or significantly reduce manual testing for QA owned areas
• Utilize AI assisted tools to improve/enhance the automation and day-to-day works
