Software Engineer in Test

The Project Operations team at Lucas Systems welcomes applications for Software Engineers in Test (SEiT) to join our UK team. Lucas’ AI-based Jennifer™ solution optimizes and orchestrates warehouse operations to reduce labor costs, improve accuracy, and increase throughput for customers across multiple industries, large and small. Lucas employees take great satisfaction in knowing that their daily contributions are helping to improve the lives of the warehouse workers using our system.

What You Will Do:

Initially, the SEiT will be focused on manual verification of project solutions. As we integrate our next generation platform with automation pipelines, you will execute core functional automation and develop new customer specific tests to ensure backward compatibility as Lucas’ solutions evolve. With customer success being a top priority for Lucas, quality of delivery is always top of mind. And, as a key member of the Quality Assurance team, SEiTs participate in the evaluation and selection of tools and processes to be used in support of all future scaled development and existing customer maintenance.

The majority of the responsibilities and experience requirement lie within these core functions:

• Android mobile device provisioning (i.e., loading software builds onto the mobile device)
• Voice flow testing on the handhelds and related debugging with ADB
• Server build installations (e.g., Azure, Docker and Kubernetes)
• Web UI testing
• Data import and export testing via flat files, socket connections, database connections, etc.
• SQL debugging (e.g., use of queries and SPROCs)

Tools and Tasks you will need to be familiar with:

• Create, execute, and maintain functional and non-functional testing experience, test plans, test cases, test cycles, traceability matrices, and bugs
• MS Teams, Jira, Confluence, Tempo, Zephyr Scale, Bitbucket, and TeamCity
• API testing using Postman or other related tools
• Execute existing Python and Cypress test automation
• Familiarity with general networking concepts related to ports, access points, and mobile connectivity

What you will need to be successful:

• B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Engineering or related field, or equivalent experience
• 4 or more years of relevant QA work experience
• Team player attitude, demonstrating care for your role, responsibilities and impact on others
• Collaboration within QA, the overall development team, and across Lucas
• Testing mindset to quickly evaluate and identify risks and advocate for the customer
• Agreeable to initial full manual test execution, pending use of automation skills to enable future testing to scale
• Adaptable to context switching across projects
• Work within defined processes as well as promote opportunities for process improvement
• Able to review high level abstract requirements and apply them to specific implementations
• Accurately estimate testing effort from high level sales proposals
• Produce diligent, thorough, concise and reusable documentation for full organizational use
• Sense of urgency with questions or concerns, and follow through to ensure quick resolution
• Open to occasional travel (5%) to support customers onsite through training and other activities
• Ability to work independently and provide mentorship to others
• Big picture view to ensure all pieces of functionality operate in context of the overall system

Nice to have (growth opportunity):

• Automation tools and languages like Cypress, JavaScript, and Python
• Development tools like Visual Studio and Git as we work with Azure CI/CD pipelines
• RCA experience
• Performance and scalability testing considerations
• Windows and Zebra printer setup and connectivity
• Demonstrated understanding of warehouse operations
