• Design and implement automated test scenarios using standard programming tools to enable scalable, repeatable test execution
• Drive continuous testing practices to strengthen system reliability and product quality
• Take ownership of product qualification deliverables, demonstrating accountability and a proactive, self-driven approach

Your skills and experience
