Responsibilities
A successful candidate will be able to apply a mature working knowledge of the following Test Automation Framework tools including Robot Framework, Python, Pycharm, and GitHub. In addition, the candidate will use other tools such as GitLab, Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, SonarQube, Bitbucket, Selenium, Junit, and Postman, as dictated by Leidos and the USN
The candidate will leverage and assist in the development of AI-Assisted Test Automation so that Leidos can differentiate themselves from the current as-is practices in this area
The candidate will also leverage Cameo Systems Modeler to build test procedures, reference test procedures, and record test observations and conclusions within the Naval Enterprise Network (NEN) model
Build and sustain a team culture focused on empowerment and opportunity, where each engineer is highly supported and encouraged to lean into tasks with confidence
Cross-Platform Automation: Design and scale automation suites that cover Windows/Linux Desktop applications, modern Web interfaces, and Server-side backend processes
Remote & Hybrid Orchestration: Implement advanced automation strategies for remote environments, utilizing tools to automate via Remote Desktop (RDP), VNC, or SSH where direct agent installation is restricted
Hardware/Software Integration: Perform hands-on validation where software interacts with physical hardware, ensuring robust communication and performance across the entire stack
Framework Architecture: Lead the development of custom libraries in Python and Robot Framework to support multi-platform testing
CI/CD Integration: Manage and optimize automated pipelines within Azure DevOps (ADO) and GitHub, ensuring high-speed feedback loops for developers
Technical Leadership: Act as a subject matter expert for automation best practices, conducting code reviews and mentoring team members on complex system integration
