We are seeking a QA Automation Engineer to support quality assurance for business applications and data solutions used in regulated aerospace environments. This role combines hands-on regression testing with the continued expansion of automated test coverage. You will confirm that software and data changes meet requirements, validate results using SQL, and maintain clear, repeatable test documentation.

You will partner with developers, business analysts, subject matter experts, and program teams to understand proposed changes, define risk-based test coverage, record test cases and evidence in Zephyr, and communicate results and defects. The team expects to expand automation over time, including the potential migration of suitable test cases to Tricentis Tosca.

• Plan and execute manual regression, functional, integration, and change-request testing while identifying opportunities to automate repeatable test coverage.

• Review requirements and development changes to identify affected workflows, data structures, business rules, integrations, and downstream dependencies.

• Create and maintain clear test cases, test steps, expected results, and supporting evidence in Zephyr, linking coverage to the applicable work item or change.

• Write and run SQL queries to validate data transformations, expected values, allowed-value lists, completeness, and structural requirements.

• Validate SQL Server script changes in the appropriate test environment and, when assigned and approved, update scripts supporting authorized business rules or data corrections.

• Reproduce, document, and track defects, providing concise steps, supporting data, and expected-versus-actual results to development teams.

• Review test outcomes, investigate unexpected results, and support root-cause analysis and corrective-action activities.

• Communicate testing progress, risks, blockers, defects, and quality metrics to appropriate leaders and stakeholders.

• Improve test plans, documentation, and automation practices, including preparing suitable Zephyr cases for future automation in Tosca.

• Work within an Agile development lifecycle using Jira or the designated work-tracking system and follow established development and quality processes.

• Support testing at local customer sites when required.

This is a hybrid position based in Glastonbury, Connecticut. The role follows a normal business schedule and may require work at a local customer site. The position requires careful handling of export-controlled information and consistent adherence to customer, security, development, and quality procedures.
