We are looking for a talented software tester to join our technical team at the Saskatoon research & development site.

At Siemens Digital Industries Software, the quality of our software is a top priority. We develop leading‑edge chip design software that is used by most of the world’s largest technology companies.

We differentiate from other products in our space through machine learning, artificial intelligence, and creative algorithms, delivering huge accuracy, coverage, and speed advantages.

This position is located in brand-new and state‑of‑the‑art offices at Innovation Place in Saskatoon, SK, Canada. You will be working onsite with the software development team while we bring new solutions from the napkin to our customers’ environment. You’ll join whiteboarding sessions to understand feature requirements, help guide the team to build testable code, run prototypes in real customer environments, stand up test suites, and make sure that our solutions are correct and easy to use.

Job Responsibilities:

Define and execute test plans for new features in coordination with the software development team.

Frequent communication with the software development and field teams to ensure alignment of customer needs.

Create, develop, and maintain automated test cases and test suites to prevent regressions and improve test efficiency, focusing on real‑world design scenarios.

Manually test new software features, identifying gaps our software developers miss.

Ensure software accuracy and quality across Functionality, Usability, Reliability, Performance, and Supportability (FURPS).

Analyze test results and customer‑reported defects, diagnose root causes, and collaborate with developers on resolutions.

Continuously improve test coverage, validation workflows, and release readiness within an Agile process.

Improve the efficiency of existing test suites by identifying the minimal setup to achieve the desired test coverage.

Champion a culture of quality and continuous improvement across the organization.

Job Requirements:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science , Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience.

Self‑motivated, detail‑oriented, eager to learn, and comfortable working independently or within a team. You are proud of your work and take ownership of your responsibilities.

Strong programming and software testing skills, with emphasis on Python and object‑oriented programming concepts.

Experience with manual testing of complex desktop applications and familiarity with GUI testing principles, UX design considerations, and related tools (e.g., Qt, Squish, Selenium).

Good knowledge of AI, ML, LLM, and API testing concepts.

Proficiency in scripting (Shell, Python, SKILL) and working with Linux environments, version control systems (e.g., Git), and defect tracking tools (e.g., Jira).

Good understanding of test automation, regression prevention, and software quality assurance methodologies.

Strong written and verbal communication skills, demonstrated through clear documentation, written test plans, bug reproduction steps, Jira issue comments, and team collaboration.

Customer‑focused mindset with the ability to prioritize based on impact and ROI.

·Must be available to work from our Saskatoon facility.

Preferred Skills:

Knowledge of analog/mixed‑signal IC design and verification flows is a plus.

Familiarity with EDA tools like Cadence Virtuoso®, Synopsys Custom Designer®, and Spice simulators are a plus.

Bonus points for: Jenkins administration, statistical analysis (Monte Carlo analysis), source code inspection (Python, C/C++), static code analysis (Coverity), and release management.

This position will be subject to U.S. export control requirements under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and/or Export Administration Regulations (EAR). Employment is contingent on either verifying the U.S. Person status or obtaining any necessary export license.
