Responsibilities

• Participate in Agile/Scrum ceremonies including sprint planning, daily stand-ups, backlog refinement, sprint reviews, and retrospectives to gather requirements, estimate effort, plan testing activities, and communicate progress

• Develop, maintain, and execute comprehensive test strategies, test plans, and test cases covering functional, regression, integration, performance, workflow, and build verification testing

• Design, develop, and maintain automated testing frameworks and scripts for UI, API, system, and AI validation testing to improve test coverage and efficiency

• Perform both manual and automated testing across product releases to ensure product quality, reliability, and stability

• Identify redundant test scenarios and drive automation initiatives to optimize testing efforts and increase coverage

• Architect and execute AI model validation strategies, including accuracy testing, output quality assessment, regression testing, and consistency validation across model versions

• Develop scalable methodologies and quality metrics to evaluate AI-generated outputs across diverse datasets, edge cases, and rendering scenarios.

• Validate AI model performance characteristics, including latency, throughput, resource utilization, and behaviour across different hardware and deployment environments

• Develop testing approaches for AI-driven systems that address probabilistic outputs, non-deterministic behaviour, model drift, and evolving performance characteristics

• Collaborate closely with engineering, product, and data science teams to ensure data quality, model reliability, comprehensive validation coverage, and successful delivery of AI-powered features

• Investigate, reproduce, and validate customer-reported issues; perform root cause analysis in collaboration with development teams and verify fixes

• Serve as a quality advocate and champion, promoting best practices, continuous improvement, shared ownership of quality, and AI-enabled quality engineering processes

• Communicate quality status, risks, test results, and recommendations effectively to stakeholders, ensuring transparency throughout the development lifecycle

• Identify and proactively address risks, blockers, and issues that may impact project timelines, quality, or deliverables

• Support customers by providing feedback on product quality, usability, training-related issues, and reported defects

• Maintain accountability for project deliverables, deadlines, and quality objectives while demonstrating self-motivation and ownership

• Mentor team members, lead by example, and contribute to the growth of quality engineering practices across the organization

• Continuously adapt QA processes, validation strategies, and automation frameworks to support the speed, scale, and complexity of modern AI-enabled development cycles

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, computer science, Data Science, AI, or related field

• 5+ years of software QA experience, with 2+ years focused on AI or ML applications

• Strong understanding of AI and ML concepts including model training, inference, and evaluation metrics

• Experience with AI model validation techniques and testing challenges including data drift, edge cases, and non-deterministic outputs

• Proficiency in Python for test automation

• Solid knowledge of software testing methodologies and defect tracking

• Strong analytical, problem solving, and communication skills

• Ability to lead initiatives and collaborate in cross functional teams

• Understanding of model validation concepts including data quality assessment, edge case testing, and output reliability

• Ability to critically analyse AI outputs and identify issues related to bias, non-determinism, or inconsistent results

• Demonstrated mindset for testing AI driven systems where validation requires qualitative, statistical, and scenario-based testing approaches rather than deterministic validation
   

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in application testing with AI

• Experience in agile software development process

• Hands on experience with 3D CAD or CAE software such as Fusion, Inventor, CATIA, or similar tools

• Experience with CI or CD pipelines and AI validation integration

• Prior experience mentoring QA team members

• Familiarity with AI testing frameworks, evaluation pipelines, or tools used for automated model validation

• Understanding of responsible AI principles including bias detection, fairness validation, and output verification

• Ability to align testing practices with organizations adopting AI as a major disruptor in modern software development
