Senior Desktop Test Automation Engineer

Description

Dell is seeking a Senior Desktop Test Automation Engineer / SDET to own and architect automated testing for Elevation Builder, a Windows desktop application used by Dell's pre-sales community to design and visualize data center infrastructure solutions. Elevation Builder allows users to build infrastructure designs by adding and removing servers and other components, connecting equipment and cabling, laying out server cabinets, and working with infrastructure information such as power requirements. Today, much of the desktop application's testing is manual. The immediate priority for this role is to architect and implement automated smoke testing that determines whether a new application build meets basic working qualifications. From there, this engineer will expand automation into deeper functional and regression testing. This is not a traditional QA execution role. Dell needs someone who can determine the appropriate automation approach, select the tooling, architect the solution, and build desktop test automation from the ground up. The application environment includes: Windows desktop GUI application .NET Framework Visual Basic Microsoft ClickOnce deployment GitLab/GitHub CI/CD pipeline APIs and backend integrations
