We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Team Leader – Python Automation Infrastructure and testing to join our R&D organization. This role is central to building and leading our automation Infrastructure and testing, ensuring robust test coverage across SW components, integration, system, and end-to-end levels.
The successful candidate will provide both technical leadership and hands-on contribution-mentoring a team of automation engineers, establishing best practices, writing automated tests, and driving adoption of modern automation tools based Python and CI/CD methodologies. While the primary focus is integration automation, knowledge of RF systems/Cyber and DevOps is a strong plus.
Key Responsibilities:
Lead and mentor a team of automation engineers, setting technical direction, assigning tasks, and supporting professional growth.
Architect, implement, and maintain scalable automation frameworks using Python and Pytest.
Write, review, and optimize unit, integration, and regression test cases to ensure high-quality software delivery.
Oversee automation of system-level and end-to-end testing, including API and UI layers (Selenium preferred).
Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, Docker, and Git, ensuring automated testing is integrated into every stage of development.
Collaborate closely with software developers, RF, QA, DevOps, and hardware teams to embed testing and automation best practices into the product lifecycle.
Define, track, and report test metrics such as coverage, execution reliability, and defect detection effectiveness.
Promote a culture of quality and continuous improvement, introducing new tools and practices to strengthen automation.
Act as a technical expert, conducting code reviews and ensuring adherence to coding/testing standards.
