Role Summary

This role focuses on Revit and Civil 3D installation testing to ensure high-quality release deliveries.

• Develop and maintain automated test cases and tools for installer testing
• Participate in requirement analysis, test planning, execution, defect tracking, and risk assessment
• Validate installer behavior across different Windows environments, configurations, and user permission levels
• Reproduce customer-reported issues and collaborate with developers for resolution
• Identify gaps in testing processes and improve efficiency through automation and tooling
• Work closely with cross-functional and global engineering teams to ensure stable product delivery

Minimum Qualifications

• 1+ year of experience in software testing, QA, or SDET role
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• Strong understanding of test design, defect lifecycle, and root cause analysis
• Basic programming/scripting skills in Python, Groovy, Shell, or similar
• Familiarity with test automation concepts
• Solid understanding of Windows OS fundamentals (file system, registry, services, processes, permissions)
• Strong analytical and communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in testing desktop applications or Windows installer packages
• Knowledge of MSI installers, bootstrapper-based installers, silent installation, and dependency validation
• Familiarity with Windows diagnostics and troubleshooting tools
• Experience with Jenkins or other CI/CD tools
• Knowledge of the Microsoft .NET platform is a plus
