TL;DR · Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET)

The Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) — Enterprise Technology Services joins the Information Systems and Technology organization to support the enterprise Product Lifecycle Management transformation initiative. Working within the Enterprise Business Application group, you will build a next-generation Product Information Management platform to drive innovation across hardware, software, and services. You will partner with stakeholders to define engineering specifications, craft test plans, and own the automation architecture. Key responsibilities include building a strictly typed, data-driven UI and API test framework using TypeScript and Playwright. You will also manage CI/CD pipelines via Jenkins and Rio, validate asynchronous behaviors in Kafka, and perform performance testing on large BOM structures. Required skills include TypeScript, SQL, and experience with PLM systems like Siemens Teamcenter.

What you'll do

  • Build and maintain a strictly typed, data-driven UI and API test framework using Playwright and TypeScript.
  • Create test plans and automation for complex full-stack PLM workflows, including functional, integration, and regression cycles.
  • Validate asynchronous and distributed behaviors for message queues, workflow engines, and batch ETL pipelines.
  • Engineer test data management systems to seed item, BOM, and change-order fixtures via APIs.
  • Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines to gate every commit and deployment with fast feedback.
  • Design and execute performance, load, and soak tests to define and defend latency and throughput budgets.
  • Validate security, access controls, and data segregation for systems holding unreleased product data.
  • Perform root-cause analysis on escaped defects and convert them into durable automated tests.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum of 5 years of professional experience in quality assurance or software engineering.
  • Proficient in developing test plans and automation strategies for intricate full-stack applications.
  • Experience testing and automating browser-based applications across platforms using Playwright (TypeScript), Selenium, or equivalent.
  • Experience testing and automating enterprise applications such as Siemens Teamcenter or an equivalent PLM system.
  • Hands-on experience automating and testing asynchronous and distributed systems.
  • Strong programming ability in TypeScript, including typed interfaces, generics, async/await, and Git-based workflows.
  • Experience with API and contract testing (REST/SOAP, JSON/XML) and working knowledge of SQL for test data setup.
  • Experience integrating automated test suites into a CI/CD pipeline.
