Job description

eMeasurematics develops advanced industrial automation, material tracking, Digital Twin, and

yard and warehouse management solutions for some of the world's leading steel, metals,

manufacturing, logistics, and heavy-industry operations.

Our solutions combine enterprise software, industrial hardware, IoT devices, sensors, real-time

data, and automation technologies to solve complex operational challenges.

We are looking for a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) who can help ensure

these systems are reliable, scalable, and ready for deployment in demanding industrial

About the Role

As an SDET, you will work closely with our software developers, product teams, and engineers

to build and maintain automated testing frameworks and ensure the quality of our software

platforms.

This is a hands-on technical role for someone who understands both software development and

quality engineering and enjoys identifying problems before they reach production.

You will test web applications, APIs, backend services, databases, integrations, and systems that

interact with industrial equipment and IoT devices.

What You'll Do

• Design, develop, and maintain automated testing frameworks and test suites.
• Build automated tests for web applications, APIs, backend services, and system integrations.
• Perform functional, regression, integration, end-to-end, and performance testing.
• Develop reusable automation scripts and tools to improve testing efficiency.
• Validate data flowing between applications, databases, APIs, IoT devices, and external systems.
• Test complex workflows within industrial yard, warehouse, material tracking, and automation applications.
• Identify, document, troubleshoot, and track software defects through resolution.

• Track testing coverage, defects, and release readiness.
• Support testing of software releases before deployment to customer environments.

What We're Looking For

• Recent Graduate with Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related technical field.
• Experience developing and maintaining automated test frameworks.
• Experience testing web applications and REST APIs.
• Experience with automation/testing tools such as Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, Jest, JUnit, PyTest, Postman, REST Assured, or similar technologies.

• Familiarity with Git and modern CI/CD environments.
• Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills.
• Ability to work collaboratively with software developers and cross-functional engineering teams.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with any of the following is a plus:

• Industrial automation or manufacturing software
• Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) or Yard Management Systems (YMS)
• Real-time tracking or location-based applications
• RFID, GPS, sensors, PLCs, or industrial hardware integrations
• Performance/load testing tools such as JMeter or k6
• Cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure
• Docker or containerized applications
