Overview:
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Integration Automation Team Leader to join our R&D organization. This role is central to building and leading our automation Infrastructure and testing, ensuring robust test coverage across SW components, integration, system, and end-to-end levels.
The successful candidate will provide both technical leadership and hands-on contribution—mentoring a team of automation engineers, establishing best practices, writing automated tests, and driving adoption of modern automation tools and CI/CD methodologies. While the primary focus is integration automation, knowledge of RF systems/Cyber and DevOps is a strong plus.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead and mentor a team of automation engineers, setting technical direction, assigning tasks, and supporting professional growth.
- Architect, implement, and maintain scalable automation frameworks using Python and Pytest.

- Oversee automation of system-level and end-to-end testing, including API and UI layers (Selenium preferred).
- Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, Docker, and Git, ensuring automated testing is integrated into every stage of development.
- Collaborate closely with software developers, RF, QA, DevOps, and hardware teams to embed testing and automation best practices into the product lifecycle.
- Define, track, and report test metrics such as coverage, execution reliability, and defect detection effectiveness.
- Promote a culture of quality and continuous improvement, introducing new tools and practices to strengthen automation.
- Act as a technical expert, conducting code reviews and ensuring adherence to coding/testing standards.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related discipline.
- Proven experience in automation testing and integration testing, with leadership or mentorship responsibilities.
- Strong hands-on proficiency in Python (object-oriented and scripting) and Pytest.
- Demonstrated ability to write unit tests and maintain high code coverage as part of agile development workflows.
- Practical experience with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, Docker, Git) and Agile/DevOps practices.
- Strong collaboration and communication skills, with experience working across cross-functional engineering teams.
Preferred Skills & Knowledge:
- Experience with Selenium for UI and system automation.
- Familiarity with RF testing and measurement techniques (e.g., VSGs, SAs, calibration).
- Exposure to monitoring, logging, or analytics tools (e.g., ELK) for test environments.
