Join Our Team as a Software Test Automation Engineer in Jyväskylä!
If you&39;re seeking a role where your expertise serves a greater purpose, then this opportunity is tailor-made for you.
As our quality-oriented Software Test Automation Engineer, you will be at the forefront, connecting those who protect us. Working in international projects, you&39;ll collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to design, implement, and integrate innovative technological solutions to customers&39; specific needs.

Let’s take a closer look at your role
As a valued member of our team specializing in the Public Safety sector, your primary objective revolves around the Public Safety market segment, in our SW Integration & Verification team in Jyväskylä. We are not just looking for someone to run scripts; we are looking for a person who specializes in building robust automation infrastructure. You will be working with critical communication solutions that support public safety professionals in saving lives.
Your Specific Tasks:
You will be the driving force behind our testing capabilities. Your mission is to architect and build the test automation that verifies our critical software solutions. You will independently identify testing needs and engineer reliable, maintainable solutions to address them. Your expertise will be key in solving complex technical challenges and evolving our automation infrastructure for the future.
As we increasingly adopt AI-assisted testing, you will play a central role in leveraging both general AI models and our secure on-premise solutions to accelerate automation development. We expect you to use these modern tools to boost coding efficiency, generate intelligent test scenarios, and streamline failure analysis.
While our primary focus is on building robust automation, we value a pragmatic mindset. You should be ready to perform targeted manual testing when necessary to validate complex user scenarios, even as we strive to minimize manual effort through continuous improvements in our automation.

Hybrid Working: We believe in flexibility that supports the well-being of our employees and at the same time value the face to face encounters at the office. According to our hybrid working model, you can work up to 2 days per week remotely.
The Team
