Software Test Automation Engineer

Do you like to systematically break things that seem to work and ruin a developer team’s weekend? Then read on, you might be interested in working with us.

Seneco A/S, part of the Fagerhult Group, is a company specialized in smart outdoor street light controllers. The company is based in Aarhus, Denmark with part of the R&D Team located in Linköping, Sweden.

Our solution helps cities to reduce their energy consumption drastically without compromising on comfort and safety. By bringing the streetlights online, our customers can gather sensor data, configure the system from their office and get notifications when maintenance is required.

Our product portfolio consists of controllers, which are small devices fitted on or inside the light pole, equipped with sensors and a radio communication module. The sensors form a mesh network which finds the optimal way to a Gateway, when present.

The Gateway is the link between the controllers and the cloud. We develop a Web Front-end which presents the data to the user, analytics and lets the user control the installation from the comfort of the office.

The R&D team currently consists of 7 engineers working on embedded software, the Linux IoT gateway, Azure cloud solution (back-end/front-end) and Android apps used for configuration and diagnosis in the field. The team is really busy implementing new features and sparking life into the next generation hardware and in order to maintain a top quality level we need to automate more of our testing and streamline our release process.

We are therefore looking for a Test Automation Engineer who will primarily be in charge of automating and maintaining our integration tests and software deployment. You will join more than 10 young and enthusiastic persons at the Fagerhult Competence Center in Linköping, and work daily with them and the R&D team located in Århus, Denmark.

Tasks will involve, among other things
● Implementing Tests for Web UI, Android Apps (Simulated and on target)
● Maintaining and improving IoT device fleet tests (our proprietary test framework is written in Python)
● Add the tests to the Gitlab pipeline, maintain and add runners as needed, on premises or in the cloud
● Design Test walls for scaling up IoT testing on real hardware and simulate various environments
This role is of particular importance to the company, since the company is expected to grow significantly in the coming years and our software release cadence will increase.
Must-haves ● Education within the area of Software development, or strong, documented experience if you are self-taught
● 2+ years working as Test Automation Engineer or a Software Tester with the interest in learning test automation
● Experience with one or more programming languages: C#, JavaScript, Java, Python
● Familiar with version control tools (GIT, Mercurial, SVN)
● An agile mindset (Agile Software Development Lifecycle Processes and Methodologies)
● Willingness to travel (we travel often between Aarhus and Linköping)

Very nice to have
● Work experience with JIRA
● ISEB/ISTQB Foundation level certification
● Experience in defining and implementing test automation solutions using one or more of the following: Selenium, Cucumber, Appium, SoapUI, Postman, Protractor, Jmeter, LoadRunner, VisualStudio Load Test, Grinder, Gatling
● Experience with deployment and automation tools just as Gitlab pipeline
● Experience with Cloud deployment (Azure, AWS)

What we can offer
● A flexible, international work environment
● Possibility to work from home
● You will become a key person in our growing organization
● A team of nice and competent colleagues
The position is located in Linköping, Sweden. Some travel is expected (~20 days / year).

There is no application deadline, finding the right candidate is more important to us than a speedy process.
