Senior Quality Assurance (QA) Automation Engineer, Terawatt

• Bachelor's degree or above in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
• 7+ years of experience in a Quality Assurance role, delivering high-quality, reliable products to market
• 4+ years of demonstrable experience designing automation frameworks and developing test automation software and tools
• Demonstrable experience leading QA projects and initiatives
• Working knowledge of test methodologies, processes, and tools such as Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, Appium, JIRA, STLC, and test management tools like TestRail, ALM, or Zephyr; and automation frameworks or tools such as Karate, Requests, HttpRunner, TestNG, or Fiddler
• Hands-on experience designing, building, and maintaining CI/CD pipelines-as-code (e.g., GitHub Actions) — not just consuming pipelines someone else built
• Experience containerizing test environments (Docker required; Kubernetes a plus) and provisioning ephemeral or on-demand test infrastructure
• Coding skills: proficiency in Python required; shell scripting for pipeline and infrastructure tooling is a plus
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, technical aptitude, attention to detail; self-motivated and quick to learn new concepts, technologies, and products
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; highly detail-oriented

Desirable

• You are enthusiastic about joining a transformative organization that sits at the intersection of climate impact, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, exceptional customer experiences, and technological innovation in a rapidly evolving industry
• Your commitment to quality and to customer-centric products will shape how our solutions meet the specific needs of our customers, while upholding the reliability that is synonymous with the Terawatt brand
• This role is built for a QA automation specialist who treats test infrastructure as a first-class engineering problem: someone equally comfortable designing test coverage and building the CI/CD pipelines, containerized environments, and orchestration that run it
• You’re also curious about where AI-assisted tooling — self-healing test automation, LLM-assisted test authoring, visual AI regression — can responsibly expand coverage and cut maintenance load, and be disciplined enough to validate that output rather than take it on faith
• You will own the framework for comprehensive testing, automation, and quality across our product ecosystem, working closely with a highly skilled software, hardware, and product development team and directly with our technology leadership
• Own and extend the test automation framework across UI, API, and hardware-in-the-loop test surfaces, validating the larger design decisions with technology leadership, to enable high development velocity
• Build and maintain the CI/CD test infrastructure — pipeline orchestration, containerized/ephemeral test environments, environment provisioning, and test parallelization — partnering with DevOps/SRE to keep it scalable, observable, and maintainable
• Develop comprehensive test plans for software and hardware-in-the-loop product features; identify test scenarios, cases, and test data to ensure coverage for new and existing features
• Maintain test cases and scripts in the Test Management System; analyze test results to help developers address underlying issues
• Monitor production bugs to identify root causes, expand test coverage to minimize escapes and provide reports on product quality metrics
• Triage automation failures, identify gaps between existing tests and the automation framework, and implement solutions to keep the system reliable and performant
• Design and execute performance and scale testing, security testing, and user experience testing as requirements demand
• Evaluate, pilot, and introduce AI-assisted testing tools — e.g., self-healing test automation, visual AI regression testing, LLM-assisted test authoring — to increase coverage and cut maintenance overhead, while validating that their output actually meets Terawatt’s quality bar rather than accepting it uncritically
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to software engineers on best practices for building and enhancing test suites, fostering a culture of quality and continuous improvement
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams — Developers, SREs, Product Managers, and Operations — to validate end-to-end functionality
