Job Description We are seeking a highly skilled

Test Automation Architect

to design and implement a sustainable test automation framework supporting IRS DME automation projects. This role will establish regression test coverage, ensure code stability through CI/CD integration, and enable scalable test case development across multiple automations. The engineer will work closely with developers, solution architects, and DevOps to build reusable test components and frameworks that integrate seamlessly with GitHub and Jenkins pipelines. The end goal: every code change or platform upgrade should automatically trigger regression test suites, validating that automations remain stable without requiring extensive manual testing.

Key Responsibilities

Framework Development

Design and implement a

reusable test automation framework

for UiPath automations and other coded workflows (C#, Python, Java, etc.). Develop reusable test components to reduce time and effort required for validating multiple automations. Establish a strategy for test case parameterization, data-driven testing, and API-based validation.

Regression & Unit Testing

Build and maintain a

comprehensive regression test suite

triggered automatically upon code check-ins to GitHub. Implement unit tests for core automation functions (e.g., authentication, spreadsheet operations, REST API calls). Ensure new features or platform changes (e.g., .NET or UiPath version upgrades) do not break existing automations.

CI/CD Integration

Integrate automated testing into

Jenkins pipelines

for continuous validation. Ensure regression tests run automatically on builds before promotion to higher environments. Provide reporting and dashboards to track pass/fail trends and code coverage.

Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing

Partner with automation developers to guide testability design and framework usage. Enable other teams to leverage common reusable components for their test cases. Document and standardize test automation practices across the program.

Required Skills & Qualifications

Strong proficiency in

C#

(preferred), with experience in

Python

or

Java

for automation testing. Experience designing or contributing to

test automation frameworks

(unit, regression, data-driven). Familiarity with

CI/CD pipelines

(Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar). Knowledge of

mocking frameworks

(e.g., Mockito for Java, or similar approaches in C#). Ability to design reusable test components that can be applied across multiple automations. Experience with

RPA tools

(UiPath preferred) or validating workflows across automation platforms. Strong understanding of

SDLC, DevOps, and test-driven development (TDD/BDD)

practices. Excellent problem-solving and collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with IRS or other federal government automation programs. Familiarity with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) for test environments. Knowledge of platform upgrade testing strategies (e.g., .NET version migration, UiPath platform upgrades). Prior experience in building test frameworks for large automation portfolios (>100 automations).
