The job

We’re looking for a motivated Junior Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) to join our 3DVis Cloud team at AVEVA.

You’ll support the delivery of best-in-class 3D visualisation and XR (Extended Reality) cloud streaming technologies, supporting AVEVA’s industrial software portfolio. Your work will help ensure our cloud and on-premises solutions meet high standards of quality, robustness, and security.

This is a great opportunity for someone early in their career who is excited by test automation, quality engineering, and cloud technologies, and who wants to grow their skills with support from experienced engineers within a collaborative, scaled agile (SAFe) environment.

Key responsibilities

Your responsibilities will include, with regular support, reviews and guidance:

• Collaborate with developers, DevOps engineers and SDET engineers to help define, implement, and execute functional and non-functional test coverage for our product
• Assist in enhancing our test automation by extending and creating automated tests using C#
• Support automated test execution by investigating failures and helping to maintain automated test runs within a continuous integration environment
• Use Azure DevOps (Test Plans and Pipelines) to support regression testing cycles
• Participate in improving our testing practices by identifying gaps in test coverage and proposing new test cases or automation improvements for review by senior engineers.
• Assist in maintaining our production systems by helping investigate production issues and contributing preventative improvements, such as strengthening test coverage and automation.

Essential requirements

• A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field

• Up to 2 years of experience in a technical role (internships count!)
