Description

**Company Description** Bosch was founded in Stuttgart in 1886 by Robert Bosch (1861\-1942\) and for more than 130 years has been distinguished by a unique corporate culture based on solid values that drive us to improve every day. Our products, present in a wide variety of fields, that contribute to improve the quality of life of millions of people. BGSW\-MX is part of BGSW India which is the largest development Center outside of India. BGSW is 19,000 \+ Strong engineering and IT workforce supporting Bosch divisions as well as providing product and services for third party customers. BGSW has 4 development center 2 in India, 1 in Vietnam, 1 in Poland and 1 in Mexico. **Job Description** * Design the implementation of robust, scalable automation frameworks using Selenium and Python, tailored for web, mobile, and IoT platforms. * Architect modular, reusable, and data\-driven test automation solutions using frameworks such as PyTest, unittest, or Robot Framework. * Implement and manage comprehensive automation strategies for mobile application testing using Appium, incorporating hybrid, native, and webview testing methodologies across Android and iOS platforms. * Develop custom logging and reporting mechanisms, including HTML reports, logfile parsing, and test dashboards to ensure clear visibility of test results and trends. * Collaborate with development and product teams to define and implement automation roadmaps, test strategies, and risk\-based test plans aligned with release cycles. * Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI), and ensure seamless test execution across staging and production environments. * Conduct API testing and validation using Postman and REST Assured, with a focus on integration, contract testing, and backend verification. * Incorporate performance testing techniques using tools such as JMeter or Locust, to identify bottlenecks and validate system scalability under load. * Drive security\-focused test cases, including input validation, authentication flows, and vulnerability coverage as part of the automation strategy. * Perform test coverage analysis, track test effectiveness metrics, and proactively identify opportunities to optimize the regression test suite for efficiency and accuracy. * Lead the troubleshooting and root cause analysis of test failures, using detailed log reviews and cross\-functional collaboration to ensure quick defect resolution. * Conduct code reviews for automation test scripts, and promote best practices in automation design, test data management, and version control. * Actively participate in Agile ceremonies daily standups, sprint planning, grooming, and retrospectives and contribute to story estimation and test case alignment **Qualifications** 3\+ years of experience **Cloud\-Based Automation Testing Responsibilities:** * Implement and manage cloud\-based test execution using platforms such as BrowserStack, Sauce Labs, or AWS Device Farm for cross\-browser and cross\-device testing. * Integrate cloud\-based testing platforms into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI) to enable parallel, distributed test execution and reduce feedback cycles. * Configure and maintain test environments in the cloud, ensuring consistent, scalable, and cost\-effective automation infrastructure. * Utilize virtual machines, containers, or cloud device grids to simulate real\-world testing conditions across various browsers, OS versions, and mobile devices. * Monitor and analyze test results from cloud platforms, integrating them with reporting tools and dashboards for visibility across teams. * Leverage cloud analytics and logs to debug flaky tests, diagnose failures, and optimize test performance. * Ensure secure handling of credentials, test data, and access control when working in cloud\-based environments. **Simulator, Emulator, and Real IoT Device Testing Responsibilities:** * Design and execute automated test cases on simulators and emulators to validate mobile and IoT application behavior in controlled virtual environments. * Set up and maintain emulator/simulator environments for Android (AVD) and iOS (Xcode Simulator) to support continuous integration and rapid testing workflows. * Conduct functional, integration, and connectivity testing on real IoT devices, verifying device\-to\-cloud communication, data transmission, and sensor interactions. * Validate performance, responsiveness, and reliability of IoT applications across simulated environments and actual hardware to ensure consistency and robustness. * Develop test scripts that adapt to both virtual environments and physical devices, optimizing for reuse and minimal maintenance overhead. * Capture and analyze device logs, telemetry data, and network traffic to identify issues during real device testing. * Coordinate with hardware teams and device labs to schedule and manage real device test execution, especially for firmware updates and over\-the\-air (OTA) scenarios. * Compare results between simulated/emulated and real device runs to detect environment\-specific defects or performance gaps. * Ensure test cases account for device\-specific limitations, connectivity variations (Wi\-Fi, Bluetooth, , etc)
