• Design high‑level Test Cases (scenarios) and Test Scripts, including expected results, for both automated and manual testing, in accordance with the Test Strategy.
• Create and manage test data, and define testing environments for more complex requirements.
• Support and execute all levels of testing by coordinating stakeholders, documenting outcomes, and verifying results.
• Record, monitor, and manage incidents identified during testing.
• Produce metrics on executed tests and raised incidents, and proactively drive error resolution.
• Compile Test Review Reports for moderate or complex testing, capturing best practice for continuous improvement.
• Conduct impact analysis of change requests or shifting priorities, implementing change control and configuration management as needed.

What you'll bring

• Strong technical expertise with proven experience in test automation (UiPath preferred).
• Advanced understanding of test management principles, including test techniques and software quality characteristics, reviews, defect management, tools and automation.
• Ability to produce a comprehensive range of test deliverables aligned with industry standards.
• ISTQB Foundation and ISTQB Technical Test Analyst certifications.
• Significant experience as a Technical Test Analyst on large, complex integration projects.
• Proficient in multiple software engineering tools and methods, including SQL (writing complex scripts for relational databases); MS Excel (creating macros for advanced data queries and builds); Programming (PL/SQL, C, VB, or Java for complex procedures and functions); Testing tools (HP ALM, HP QC for full lifecycle test suite management).

It would be great if you had

• UiPath Automation experience.
• Oracle experience.
• Jmeter experience.
