SQA / Automation Testing - Selenium, Python (Smart Metering)

Key Responsibilities: Automation Testing: Develop and maintain automated test scripts using Selenium WebDriver with Python . Execute regression, functional, UI, integration, and system-level tests on smart meter software platforms. Work with CI/CD pipelines to integrate automated tests into the development lifecycle. Test Planning & Execution: Analyze product requirements and create comprehensive test plans, test cases , and traceability matrices. Perform test execution and defect logging using tools like Jira, TestRail, or similar. Validate data accuracy and performance across device firmware, gateways, and cloud platforms . API & Backend Testing: Automate and validate RESTful APIs used in smart metering platforms. Use tools like Postman, PyTest, or Requests to design API test cases. Collaboration & Reporting: Work closely with developers, product managers, and hardware teams to understand system architecture and integration points. Participate in Agile/Scrum ceremonies (stand-ups, sprint planning, retrospectives). Document defects, provide test summary reports, and track test coverage metrics. Qualifications & Experience: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field. 2–5 years of hands-on experience in automation testing, specifically with Selenium (Python) . Experience in testing embedded systems, IoT platforms, or smart metering systems is highly preferred . Strong understanding of software QA methodologies, tools, and processes. Experience with Linux/Unix , Git, Jenkins, and Docker is a plus. Skills Required: Strong programming skills in Python for test automation. Experience in Selenium WebDriver, PyTest, and BDD frameworks (like Behave or Cucumber). Understanding of protocols relevant to smart metering (e.g., DLMS/COSEM, MQTT, Modbus) is a plus. Familiarity with database queries (SQL/NoSQL) for data validation.
