    Your role in the team

    • Do you want to help save the world's water resources through high-quality, reliable scientific software? We are looking for a Senior QA Automation Engineer to enhance the quality of a global software solution for environmental modelling.
    • This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working with complex, computation-heavy desktop applications and has the experience and confidence to design automation frameworks from scratch.
    • We are currently seeking an experienced QA Automation Engineer to take ownership of the test efforts for our FEFLOW groundwater simulation software.
    • You will be the key driver of automation strategy and quality practices for FEFLOW.
    • Own and drive integration test automation for FEFLOW across client layers (Python/console/UI).
    • Build a Python-based automation framework from scratch, including harness, adapters, and reporting.
    • Automate modelling workflows using the Python API (IFM-based and COM-backed extensions) and validate engine-level outcomes.
    • Create and maintain regression baselines with scientific correctness checks (tolerances/invariants).
    • Design tests that validate behaviour consistency across clients and interface boundaries.
    • Integrate suites into CI/CD, improve reliability, diagnostics, and execution performance.
    • Partner with developers and domain experts to define expected results and quality risks.
