Job Description

*Test Impact determination:
In discussions with architects and developers, the impact of a release or service pack must be determined to be able to select existing test cases or create new test cases. The software test engineer will look at these deliverables from a customers' point-of-view and test from that system perspective
*Software qualification:
Define and execute software qualification tests on the new prototype systems and on test benches. Every week a new development software baseline is released and it must be tested on the test benches and the prototype systems. As much as possible it should be tested on the test benches to relieve the claim on the very expensive prototype systems. Therefore, part of the challenge is also to make these test benches as representative as possible.
*Creating system tests:
Create system level test to qualify the system and the software and to test the reliability of the system and the different modules of the system. These system level tests are typically implemented in the form of Python scripts or as keyword driven testscripts.
*Analysis:
Do the first analysis of the problem to find the development project that is responsible for fixing the problem. After the problem has been dispatched you should assist the development project in defining and testing the solution and make sure that they deliver an adequate solution in time.
*Reporting:
Clear reporting on issues found, both in an issue database, as well as in overviews and in a test analysis report.
*Continuous improvement:
New issues must be analysed why they were not caught in our own tests, and preventive actions must be defined to make sure future test cases will capture these issues

Experience needed:

*Experience in testing high-tech systems
*Experience deducting test plans from documents and implicit knowledge of people
*Solid experience/knowledge of Scripting/automation (Unix/Linux, Python) is a must
*MSc. or BSc. education level (Computer Science, Physics, Electronics, Mechanics, Mathematics or comparable)

As previously mentioned, this is an opportunity for Test Automation Engineers of varying levels. Junior (1+year experience), Mid-Level (3+ years' experience) and Senior (5+ Years' experience).

Contracts will be written at 12 months, with an opportunity for extension/full time employment upon completion.
