The job
We are looking for a motivated Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) to join our 3DVis Cloud team at AVEVA. You will contribute to the delivery of best-in-class 3D visualisation and XR (Extended Reality) cloud streaming technologies, supporting AVEVA's industrial software portfolio. Your work will help ensure our cloud and on-premises solutions meet high standards of quality, robustness, and security. This is a great opportunity for someone with some relevant experience who is excited by test automation, quality engineering, and cloud technologies, and who wants to grow their skills within a collaborative, scaled agile (SAFe) environment.
Key responsibilities
- Collaborate with developers, DevOps engineers and SDET engineers to define, implement, and execute functional and non-functional test coverage for our product, taking ownership of coverage for assigned features and work items.
- Enhance our test automation by independently designing, writing, and maintaining automated tests using C# within existing frameworks and team patterns.
- Maintain automated test execution by owning investigation of failures, improving test reliability (e.g., reducing flaky tests), and driving issues through to resolution within a continuous integration environment.
- Use Azure DevOps Test Plans to plan and execute regression testing, and Azure DevOps Pipelines to configure and run deployments to test environments.
- Improve our testing practices by identifying gaps in test coverage, proposing and implementing new test cases or automation improvements, and sharing best practices with the team.
- Help maintain production quality by investigating production issues and driving preventative improvements, such as strengthening automated regression coverage and test automation.
Essential requirements
- Understanding of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) and how testing contributes to delivery.
- Proven experience in functional testing in a professional software environment with exposure to non-functional testing (e.g., reliability, performance, security) and the ability to take ownership of test coverage for assigned features.
- Comfortable in writing and maintaining automated tests using C# within existing team practices producing robust maintainable tests.
- Team-oriented and collaborative, with clear communication and strong organisational skills, able to work independently and collaboratively drive issues through to resolution with the team.
- Methodical, proactive can-do attitude with a strong learning mindset and desire to grow technical depth.
Desired skills and competencies
- Exposure to CI/CD pipelines.
- Understanding of software development principles such as OOP, SOLID and DRY.
- Familiarity with test automation frameworks.
- Familiarity with performance and load testing (e.g., k6 or similar tools).
- Experience working in Agile/Scrum teams.
- Knowledge of Azure cloud services.
