HCL Software is a division of HCL Technologies that develops and delivers a next-generation portfolio of enterprise-grade software-based offerings with flexible consumption models, spanning traditional on-premises software, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), and bundled managed services. We bring speed, insights and innovations (big and small) to create value for our customers in Dev Ops, Automation and Application Modernization software.
We are looking for a quality assurance engineer to test different versions of the product (Zen) that is currently at version 15. The product is used in different embedded systems (applications do not expose the database product).
This is an intermediate level position. The QA engineer contributes to all facets of testing and validating changes made to the Zen product line. The product handles enormous amounts of data and can be critical to our customers’ missions 24x7. The person in this role will function as an individual contributor and have excellent software development skills and work closely with Support, Sustaining Engineering, and development. The person will learn the various test harnesses used to automate testing of the product as well as the numerous manual test cases used for test functionality outside the automated test harnesses. The person will also be able to debug existing test harnesses and test cases for defects found by internal and external users. The person needs to become an expert in how the product operates and be the first stop for detecting problems in product prior to release. Work requires exercising judgment within generally defined practices in selecting methods or obtaining solutions.
Our ideal candidate is a self-starter with a get-it-done attitude who can work independently, learn quickly, and demonstrate initiative across assignments.
Key Responsibilities:
- Work with development and product support to verify the quality of product changes.
- Manage automated test harnesses, including adding new test cases and debugging test harness failures.
- Participate in requirements analysis, design reviews, code reviews, test plan analysis, and other work related to Zen product functionality.
- Improve processes in existing testing infrastructure to ensure test harnesses and test cases are kept up to date with changes in Zen product functionality.
- Create test strategies and plans encompassing a suite of reliable test cases.
Essential Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, or equivalent experience.
- Five or more years of professional experience in Quality Engineering, software development/maintenance, or DevOps.
- In-depth knowledge of Python.
- Knowledge of at least one programming language (c/c++ or Java preferred).
- Excellent problem solving and analytical skills.
- Familiarity with both Windows and Linux operating systems
- Background in data-management internals (relational db concepts, SQL language/syntax/dialects, relational data access methods such as ODBC/JDBC, etc.)
Additional Skills:
- In-depth debugging skills.
- Log analysis, data analysis, and performance analysis tools.
- Basic knowledge of B-Tree and key-value stores implementations.
- Familiarity with using Virtual Machines (vSphere preferred).
