The successful candidate will be responsible for developing and maintaining automated user interface tests using Robot Framework, helping to ensure software releases are fully validated before deployment.

 

This role would suit an individual with early-career experience in software testing, quality assurance, or test automation who enjoys understanding how applications behave from an end-user perspective. The successful candidate will work with an established testing infrastructure and receive support from experienced engineers who have already developed the required tooling and test environment.

  • Develop automated GUI test scripts using Robot Framework.

  • Create and maintain regression test suites for software releases.

  • Analyse application user interfaces and identify expected behaviours for test validation.

  • Execute automated test campaigns and document results.

  • Investigate and report defects identified through testing activities.

  • Work closely with software engineers and technical leads to understand system functionality.

  • Support continuous improvement of automated testing coverage.

  • Maintain test documentation and ensure traceability of test cases.

  • Contribute to release validation activities prior to deployment.

  • Assist in refining and enhancing existing test automation processes.

SKILLS: 

ESSENTIAL:

  • Understanding of software testing principles and quality assurance practices.

  • Experience with automated testing tools or frameworks.

  • Ability to analyse software behaviour and define expected outcomes.

  • Strong attention to detail and problem-solving skills.

  • Good communication and documentation skills.

  • Comfortable working within a collaborative engineering environment.

  • Basic scripting or programming knowledge.

  •  

DESIREABLE:

  • Experience with Robot Framework.

  • Exposure to GUI or end-to-end application testing.

  • Familiarity with Python.

  • Experience of test case design and test execution.

  • Understanding of software release and validation processes.

  • Knowledge of defect tracking and test management tools.

  • Experience working within an Agile development environment.

  •  

EXPERIENCE:

  • Ideally 12-24 months' experience in software testing, QA, test automation, or a related technical role.

  • Candidates from apprenticeship, graduate-entry, or junior engineering backgrounds will be considered.

  • Practical experience creating or executing automated test scripts is desirable.

  • Experience of GUI testing would be advantageous but is not essential.

  • Ability to become productive quickly within an established project team.
