• Develops a deep understanding of product functionality, system architecture, and customer usage patterns to inform testing approaches. • Contributes to test strategy by identifying quality risks, gaps in coverage, and opportunities to improve confidence in releases. • Influences broader testing direction through technical leadership and collaboration rather than ownership of formal approval gates. • Designs, implements, and maintains high-quality automated tests across appropriate layers, including API, integration, and system-level testing. • Continuously evaluates existing test coverage, strengthens weak areas, and reduces redundant or low-value tests. • Executes tests as needed to validate changes and support release readiness. • Builds and maintains reliable, maintainable automated test suites integrated into CI pipelines. • Improves test stability, execution speed, and signal quality to support fast and safe development workflows. • Works closely with engineers to ensure tests run effectively across branches and environments. • Executes existing load and performance tests, reviews and reports results, and maintains the test suite as needed. • Partners with Load and Performance test engineers who own performance test creation and expansion. • Contributes to technical design discussions from a quality and testability perspective. • Dives deep into complex systems to diagnose issues, understand failure modes, and identify root causes. • Proposes pragmatic improvements to architecture, testing approaches, or tooling to reduce long-term quality risk. • Helps define and evolve test and quality metrics that provide meaningful insight into system health and testing effectiveness. • Uses data to guide decisions, prioritize improvements, and surface systemic issues. • Contributes to documentation, runbooks, and best practices that improve team efficiency and consistency. • Works closely with Engineering and Product partners to ensure quality considerations are addressed throughout the development lifecycle. • Influences testing standards, practices, and tooling adoption through example, technical credibility, and constructive collaboration. • Adheres to all confidentiality and compliance regulations. • Performs other duties as assigned.

**Position Summary:** This is an exciting opportunity to join Telestream’s QA automation team as a Software Engineer in Test, working on products used in high profile live events such as sports, music, and reality television, as well as file-based media workflows for broadcast networks and cable companies. In this role, you will do more than simply find bugs; you will help build the sophisticated engineering backbone that ensures our media processing and streaming services remain world class and collaborate directly with developers to bake quality into the code from the start.

• Design, develop, and implement highly scalable, reliable, and maintainable test automation frameworks across multiple platforms. • Serve as the technical authority on testing methodologies, tools, and best practices. • Drive high standards for test code quality, structure, and maintainability, including code reviews for automation scripts. • Design and execute advanced non-functional tests, including performance and load tests. • Partner with development and product teams to integrate testing practices early in the development lifecycle. • Own and optimize the integration of automated tests into the CI/CD pipeline. • Expertly debug and analyze complex system failures to identify root causes. • Coach and mentor junior and mid-level SDETs and software engineers on technical design and testing strategy.

• 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. • 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. • Programming Mastery: Expert-level Python skills with a proven track record of being a fast learner in new languages and emerging 2026 automation technologies. • Automation Framework Expert: Deep experience with Robot Framework (Keyword-driven and Data-driven) for complex workflow orchestration. • Multi-OS Expertise: Hands-on experience automating applications on both Windows (WinAppDriver, FlaUI) and Linux (CLI, GUI automation) environments. • Web & Server Testing: Proficiency in automating web applications (Selenium/Playwright) and verifying server-side integrity via API and log analysis. • Remote Desktop Automation: Experience using specialized tools (e.g., Eggplant, SikuliX, or Image-based recognition) to automate across Remote Desktop (RDP) or virtualized environments. • Hardware Competency: Experience interfacing software with hardware components (e.g., firmware flashing, sensor data validation, or peripheral testing). • DevOps & Tools: Mastery of GitHub version control and Azure DevOps for lifecycle management and pipeline execution. • Be an ambassador, and a leader of ambassadors for AI-Assisted Test Automation by being able to speak to the benefits of this approach as compared to the current as-is process. • Collaborate and coordinate with external customers, management, subcontractors, vendors, and other engineering disciplines. • Lead moderate size and complex projects as requested by the Test Automation Lead.
