Test Automation Engineer Jobs in Zug, Switzerland at ITech Consult AG
Title: Test Automation Engineer
Company: ITech Consult AG
Location: Zug, Switzerland
Automation Engineer – Test Automation / SDET / BDD / Selenium / DevOps / CI/CD /Rust / ALM / Codebeamer / Robotics / English
● You don’t just „test“ code; you understand how it’s built. You write clean, maintainable, and dry (Don’t Repeat Yourself) automation code that your peers are proud to review.
● You are uncomfortable waiting until the end of a sprint to test. You enjoy collaborating with Product and Dev teams early on to define testable requirements and catch logic gaps before a single line of code is written.
● You Despise Flakiness: You understand that an unreliable automated test suite is worse than no automated test suite at all. You are obsessed with stability and take pride in building „green“ pipelines that the team actually trusts.
● You aren’t married to a single framework. Whether it’s Playwright, Selenium, or Cypress, you choose the right tool for the job based on the project’s needs rather than personal habits.
● You can translate complex technical bugs into business risks for stakeholders, and turn high-level business requirements into rigorous technical test cases.
●You don’t work in a silo. You enjoy mentoring manual QA testers and helping developers take ownership of their own unit and integration tests.
Tasks & Responsibilities:
● Quality Assurance for High-Tech: Development and implementation of automated test strategies for a complex overall system in molecular diagnostics.
● BDD Methodology: Active application of Behavior-Driven Development to translate requirements into executable specifications (e.g., using Cucumber).
● Development of Test Environments: Construction and maintenance of test frameworks using tools similar to Selenium, Appium, or SpecFlow, supplemented by specific libraries for controlling laboratory robots.
● Robotics Integration: Evaluation and integration of commercial robot arms (e.g., Cobots) as well as participation in the development of internal robotics tools to simulate user interactions on the device (e.g., pipetting, loading cartridges).
● ALM & Traceability: Use of ALM tools such as Codebeamer to manage requirements and test cases and to ensure traceability.
● CI/CD Integration: Responsibility for automated quality assurance within our DevOps pipelines (e.g. GitHub and Azure DevOps (ADO)).
● End-to-End Validation: Ensuring data integrity from the barcode scan of the patient sample to the final analysis of the PCR result.
● Compliance & Documentation: Supporting the creation of test plans, protocols, and reports in accordance with ISO 13485 and other relevant regulatory standards for medical devices.
Must Haves:
● Education: Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Medical Technology, or a comparable qualification.
● Min. 3 years of relevant working experience.
● Experienced Programmer: You have sound experience in software development and master clean coding principles.
● Automation & BDD Expert: Proficient in using tools such as Selenium, with desired knowledge of BDD tools like Cucumber or SpecFlow.
● ALM Know-how: Experience with Application Lifecycle Management tools, ideally Codebeamer, is a major advantage.
● DevOps & CI/CD: Proficient in handling Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery in GitHub orAzure DevOps.
● Analytical Talent: Ability to familiarize yourself with the logic of complex diagnostic systems.
Nice to Haves:
Knowledge of Rust is a strong plus, as we value performance and type safety.
