• Develop tooling and utilities for test data management, service virtualization, mocks, simulators, fixtures, and environment management.

• Investigate automation and product issues across applications, APIs, databases, cloud services, containerized environments, integrations, and deployment pipelines.

• Partner closely with software engineers to improve application testability and establish effective automated test strategies.

• Create reusable frameworks, documentation, examples, and best practices that enable product teams to develop and maintain their own automated tests.

• Participate in design and code reviews with a focus on quality, reliability, maintainability, and testability.

• Establish and promote standards for automation architecture, reporting, diagnostics, and framework design.

• Evaluate and implement emerging technologies, including AI-assisted capabilities, to enhance test automation efficiency and coverage.

• Collaborate with Software Verification and Quality teams to support regulated verification activities and generate appropriate test evidence when required.

• Perform exploratory or manual testing when it provides greater value or supports product risk assessment.
