Your role and responsibilities
You will join an experienced and high performing test team, participating in validating our existing and future DCS (Distributed Control System) products. This involves both manual and automated testing, as well as testing both software and hardware. Your knowledge and experience in industrial automation are truly valuable to us. We also welcome candidates who are earlier in their careers and eager to grow within this field. The team is located in Malmö, Sweden, but works closely together with test teams and developers on other sites.
The work model for this job is onsite.
Responsibilities
- You will work as a tester of 800xA and our next generation DCS.
- The focus of the test team is validation of product requirements, i.e. high-level testing, for the controllers and related configuration tools.
- The testing covers both software and hardware.
- The work includes reviewing product requirements (from a testing perspective), specifying test cases based on these requirements, setting up test rigs, implementing test applications, running tests, and documenting and evaluating the results.
- While much of the testing is still done manually, a significant portion is already automated- and that share will continue to grow. You’ll play an important role in this transition.
