We are seeking a highly driven Automation Lead to architect, develop, and scale automation frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and productivity tooling across our engineering organization. The ideal candidate combines strong Python automation skills with deep experience building regression frameworks, driving continuous integration practices, and enabling high‑velocity Agile/SAFe development teams.
Responsibilities:
Lead the design, development, and maintenance of Python‑based automation frameworks, including test harnesses, regression suites, and system‑level validation tooling.
Architect scalable CI/CD pipelines using GitLab or Bitbucket for automated builds, testing, and deployments across multiple products/services.
Define performance measurement strategies, metrics and procedures for hub side and terminals and repeatable methodologies for throughput, latency, jitter, packet loss, and fairness for different QoS data models.
Define automation strategy for functional, performance, regression, and integration testing across distributed systems.
Build productivity tooling to streamline engineering workflows—test orchestrators, artifact quality gates, pipeline dashboards, and automated reporting.
Collaborate with cross‑functional teams (Dev, QA, DevOps, Cloud, Release Engineering) to drive end‑to‑end automation adoption.
Improve systematic defect detection by integrating automation into release workflows and quality gates.
Implement Agile/SAFe‑aligned automation processes, sprint deliverables, and continuous improvement mechanisms.
Perform root‑cause analysis of test failures, pipeline issues, environment instability, and flaky tests.
Promote best practices for code quality, version control, branching strategies, and DevOps‑centric development.
