Job summary

Tundra Technical Solutions in Hillsboro, Oregon is seeking a hands-on Test Architect to own the end-to-end test strategy for an aircraft-wide onboard platform spanning hardware, embedded software, connectivity, AI features and a multi-tenant ecosystem. This role blends strategic ownership with technical leadership and hands-on test execution.

You will define test architecture for platform services, application and data, design lab infrastructure, develop automation, and drive CI/CD integration.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, or related field (Master's preferred)
• 8+ years in software/systems testing, with at least 2–3 years in a test architect, lead, or principal test engineer capacity

• Strong hands‑on experience building test automation frameworks (not just using existing ones) — e.g., API‑level automation, UI automation, performance/load testing tools
• Practical experience with CI/CD pipelines and integrating automated tests as pipeline gates

Responsibilities

• Own and evolve the platform-wide Test Strategy Document across development, integration, system, performance, connectivity, security, CI/CD, and certification-adjacent testing

• Design test environment and lab infrastructure strategy including lab, virtualized environments, and network emulation
• Lead and mentor a cross-functional test team across functional, integration, performance, security, and hardware testers
