In this role, you will have the opportunity to:

• Automated Test Development:Design, implement, debug, and maintain reliable automated end-to-end and integration tests for complex imaging software using Cypress and related testing technologies.

• Cross-Product Test Architecture:Collaborate with software development and quality assurance teams to develop reusable test frameworks and automate workflows that span multiple products, services, and instrument-control applications.

• CI/CD, Build Quality, and Root-Cause Analysis:Monitor automated test pipelines and software builds daily; investigate complex or intermittent failures using evidence from multiple sources; distinguish product defects from test or infrastructure issues; communicate which builds are suitable for further verification and validation; and improve test reliability, diagnostics, processes, and infrastructure to prevent recurrence.

• Test Strategy and Coverage:Translate product risks, customer workflows, and acceptance criteria into automated test designs and backlog stories; identify gaps in regression coverage and prioritize automation that delivers the greatest quality and business impact.

• Technical Leadership and Collaboration:Work independently with product owners, software leads, quality assurance engineers, engineering managers, and developers; lead focused automation initiatives, build consensus on quality issues, and serve as a technical resource for colleagues with less automation experience.

The essential requirements of the job include:

• Education and experience:Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related discipline with 5+ years of professional software development or software test automation experience; equivalent directly relevant experience may be considered.

• Test automation expertise:Demonstrated experience designing and maintaining automated end-to-end or integration tests for commercial software, including practical expertise with Cypress or a comparable browser automation framework and JavaScript or TypeScript.

• Continuous integration:Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines, monitoring pipeline and build health, diagnosing failures, and communicating actionable quality and release-readiness information.

• Software engineering practices:Proficiency with Git, package-management and build tools such as npm, REST-based applications, test design patterns, defect tracking, and Agile development practices.

• Independent problem solving and collaboration:Ability to solve complex technical problems with minimal guidance, perform effective root-cause analysis, lead small initiatives, explain difficult technical information clearly, and build consensus across cross-functional teams.

It would be a plus if you also possess previous experience in:

• Scientific or instrument-control software:Testing laboratory instruments, imaging systems, robotic systems, or other software connected to physical hardware.

• High-content imaging:Familiarity with microscopy, image acquisition and analysis workflows, or life science applications.

• Cross-product automation:Building automated workflows that coordinate multiple desktop applications, browser applications, backend services, or independently released products.

• Additional test technologies:Experience with Angular application testing, API testing, Windows desktop automation, test reporting systems, or improving the reliability and observability of large regression suites.

Travel, Motor Vehicle Record & Physical/Environment Requirements:

• Minimal travel expected-one week or less per year-for internal planning activities only.

• This position requires working 100% on-site at the Downingtown, PA location.
