Shape the future of Smart Transport Technology
Do you enjoy building testing frameworks from the ground up rather than stepping into an established environment?
INIT Australia is delivering next-generation smart transport technology as part of the Opal Next Generation Program, and we're looking for an experienced Senior Test Engineer to join our growing team.
This is a genuine greenfields opportunity where you'll play a pivotal role in establishing our testing capability.
Working alongside the Test Manager, you'll help build the foundations of the test function—including defining processes, implementing tools, creating documentation, designing test strategies and gaining a deep understanding of a highly integrated technology platform before large-scale testing commences.
If you're someone who enjoys solving complex integration problems and wants to leave your mark on a major public transport program, we'd love to hear from you.
What you'll be doing
Partner with the Test Manager as the 2IC for the test function
Build and establish testing processes, standards and documentation
Configure and administer test management tools
Develop comprehensive test plans, test scripts and test data
Coordinate end-to-end testing across multiple integrated systems
Execute testing across front-end, back-end and API layers
Manage defects, participate in triage sessions and support issue resolution
Support Business SMEs through UAT
Produce test reporting and provide quality insights throughout the project
Mentor junior testers as the team continues to grow
