Job: Senior Test Automation Engineer

Location: Belfast (1 day a week in office)

Salary: £60,000 – £70,000 plus bonus

We’re looking for a hands-on Senior Test Automation Engineer to help build and scale automated testing across complex, real-world systems.

This role goes beyond component-level testing. You’ll focus on integration and system-level quality, ensuring software works seamlessly across services, platforms, and environments.

You’ll join a growing state of the art Software Lab in a small team set up building the bridge between physical machinery with digital systems and platforms.

Job: Test Automation Engineer

Working in a tight knit team you’ll carry out the following tasks:

  • Design and implement automated test coverage across API, integration, and system layers
  • Build and maintain scalable test frameworks (UI, API, end-to-end)
  • Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines for continuous validation
  • Define test strategies, coverage, and quality metrics for releases
  • Investigate failures, debug issues, and support teams in resolving defects
  • Work closely with engineering teams to improve testability and reliability
  • Contribute to release confidence through robust regression and system testing
  • Continuously improve automation, tooling, and testing practices

What we’re seeking:

  • Strong experience in test automation (e.g. Selenium, Playwright, Robot Framework or similar)
  • Experience testing integrated systems (APIs, services, end-to-end workflows)
  • Hands-on with CI/CD pipelines and version control (Git)
  • Solid understanding of testing principles and quality engineering
  • Comfortable debugging issues across logs, services, and environments
  • A proactive mindset – someone who naturally looks to automate and improve

Nice to have (not essential)

  • Experience in complex or distributed systems (e.g. IoT, embedded, industrial, or data platforms)
  • Exposure to API technologies (REST, GraphQL, messaging systems)
  • Familiarity with Linux environments
  • Understanding of security or regulated environments

Sounding good?
