Support CI/CD and DevOps pipelines, parallelize tests, perform functional, visual, regression, security, and performance testing, and prepare test data via SQL. Translate requirements into automated test scripts and maintain confidentiality of sensitive information.

The role involves designing and automating test plans for enterprise SSDs and server storage systems while collaborating with development teams to resolve defects and ensure product quality.

Design, develop, and maintain automated test suites (Selenium/Java, Cucumber). Create test plans, test data, execute functional/regression tests, log and track defects, and integrate automation with CI/CD (Jenkins, Bitbucket/GitLab). Perform API testing, mobile testing (Appium/Android Studio), analyze reports, and collaborate with development and stakeholders to resolve issues.

Design, implement, and maintain launch-site automation and control systems for Starship. Responsibilities include PLC and SCADA development, controls network and data acquisition design, electrical control panel layout and build (code-compliant), activation testing, troubleshooting, and writing scalable procedures to enable technicians. Role is hands-on, supports launches at Cape Canaveral, and requires travel and shift flexibility.

The AI Research Engineer designs and optimizes AI systems for enterprise automation, collaborating across teams to improve efficiency and decision-making.

Lead design, specification, procurement, implementation, integration, commissioning, and qualification of process automation systems (DCS, PLC/SCADA, MES, data historians) for pharmaceutical manufacturing, packaging, and warehouse operations. Define global automation architectures, manage supplier interfaces, ensure regulatory compliance (GMP, FDA, EMA), lead CSV and qualification activities, and support digital transformation initiatives including APC, batch analytics, and IT/OT convergence. Drive project delivery and risk mitigation across mid-to-large scale projects.
