About the role
Honeywell's Quality and Automation Team is seeking a Senior Test Automation Engineer to support cloud-based and web-based cybersecurity applications. The role is approximately 80% automation and 20% manual testing, with responsibility for designing, developing, and maintaining scalable automation solutions. The engineer will collaborate with product development, cybersecurity, DevOps, quality, and validation teams to improve coverage and product quality.
What you will do
- Spend approximately 80% of the role owning the architecture, design, development, and maintenance of automation frameworks for cloud and web-based cybersecurity applications.
- Build reusable automation libraries, utilities, services, and test infrastructure that support functional, integration, API, UI, system, and end-to-end validation.
- Develop reliable automation using appropriate programming languages and frameworks, with emphasis on clean code, modular design, maintainability, and scalability.
- Automate REST API, web UI, backend service, and cloud workflow validation across supported environments.
- Integrate automated suites with CI/CD pipelines and enable scheduled, on-demand, and release-gating execution.
- Analyze failures, identify product and framework defects, perform root-cause analysis, and drive timely resolution with cross-functional teams.
- Spend approximately 20% of the role on risk-based manual testing, including exploratory testing, complex scenario validation, usability checks, and release verification where automation is not practical or has not yet been implemented.
- Define automation strategy, coding standards, review practices, quality metrics, and technical roadmaps.
- Review code, mentor engineers, troubleshoot complex issues, and provide technical leadership within the automation team.
- Collaborate with product development, cybersecurity, DevOps, quality, and validation stakeholders to understand requirements and improve testability.
- Translate suitable manual test scenarios into maintainable automated coverage, while documenting justified manual-only coverage and associated risks.
- Maintain clear technical documentation, execution reports, dashboards, traceability, and evidence required for releases.
- Evaluate tools and technologies, lead proof-of-concept activities, and continuously improve automation efficiency, reliability, and coverage.
- Follow secure coding, credential-management, data-protection, and cybersecurity best practices throughout the automation lifecycle.
Skills used in this role
What the employer is looking for
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Technology, Electronics, Instrumentation, Electronics and Communication Engineering, or a related discipline.
- Minimum 3 years of relevant experience in software testing and test automation, with demonstrated delivery in roles primarily focused on automation and supported by hands-on manual testing.
- Demonstrated experience as a core contributor or technical lead for automation solutions supporting cloud-based or web-based applications.
- Strong software engineering fundamentals, including object-oriented design, data structures, design patterns, debugging, and source-control practices.
- Practical experience in test design, exploratory testing, defect reporting, regression testing, and release validation, with the ability to determine which scenarios should remain manual and which should be automated.
- Experience working in Agile product-development environments and collaborating with geographically distributed teams.
- Advanced proficiency in at least one automation-oriented programming language as Python, Java or JavaScript/TypeScript.
- Hands-on experience with web automation frameworks such as Playwright, Selenium, or Cypress.
- Strong experience in API automation and validation using REST clients, libraries, or frameworks.
- Experience with unit and test frameworks such as PyTest, JUnit, TestNG, NUnit, or equivalent.
- Working knowledge of cloud platforms such as Microsoft Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud, including services, identity, networking, logging, and deployment concepts.
- Experience in integrating automation into CI/CD systems such as Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI.
- Proficiency with Git-based workflows, code reviews, branching strategies, and build pipelines.
- Experience with containers and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
- Good understanding of web technologies, authentication and authorization mechanisms, certificates, APIs, databases, and distributed-system fundamentals.
- Ability to diagnose failures using logs, traces, monitoring data, and systematic debugging techniques.
- Understanding of secure software-development practices and common cybersecurity concepts relevant to cloud and web applications.
- Experience automating cybersecurity products, security platforms, connected systems, or enterprise software.
- Knowledge of security testing concepts, including vulnerability management, identity and access management, encryption, audit logging, and role-based access control.
- Experience with performance, reliability, resilience, or security-focused automation.
- Experience designing automation for multi-tenant SaaS platforms or microservices-based applications.
