Job Description

QA Engineer / SDET – Intelligent Warehouse Systems

Experience: 3–5 Years

About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled and hands-on QA Engineer / SDET with strong exposure to warehouse and fulfillment systems. The ideal candidate should understand real-world warehouse operations and be capable of applying that knowledge to automation, regression testing, and validation of intelligent decision-driven systems.

The platform under test manages warehouse workflows, inventory movement, and autonomous operational decision-making. Since these systems directly impact physical warehouse operations, quality, reliability, and regression safety are mission-critical.

This role requires mandatory experience in warehouse systems, strong Python automation expertise, hands-on Playwright experience, and proven ownership of regression testing for complex operational workflows.

Key Responsibilities

1. Regression Testing Ownership

• Own and maintain end-to-end regression suites for warehouse-critical workflows.

• Identify and safeguard business-critical warehouse flows, including:

  • Order lifecycle management

  • Inventory state transitions

  • Task creation, assignment, and completion

• Ensure regression coverage detects:

  • Workflow failures

  • Decision-logic side effects

  • Downstream operational impacts

• Build and maintain stable, CI/CD-ready regression suites.

2. Warehouse Workflow Validation

• Validate real-world warehouse processes such as:

  • Inbound → Putaway → Replenishment

  • Picking → Packing → Shipping

  • Returns and exception handling

• Verify accuracy of:

  • Inventory movement

  • Order and task state transitions

  • Workflow sequencing

• Execute tests under realistic warehouse conditions, including:

  • Order spikes and peak loads

  • Partial task failures

  • Capacity and resource constraints

3. Testing Agentic / Decision-Driven Systems

• Test intelligent systems that autonomously make and execute operational decisions, including:

  • Order prioritization

  • Task assignment and reassignment

  • Inventory movement and dynamic re-planning

• Validate that system decisions:

  • Respect warehouse constraints

  • Remain consistent and predictable

  • Recover safely from execution failures

• Design scenario-based test cases focused on:

  • Decision changes

  • State transitions

  • Fallback and recovery behavior

• Treat decision-making logic as regression-critical functionality.

4. Python-Based Automation

• Develop scalable and maintainable automation frameworks using Python.

• Automate:

  • Backend APIs

  • Core warehouse workflows

  • Decision-driven scenarios and regressions

• Build reusable utilities for:

  • Test data setup

  • State validation

  • End-to-end scenario verification

• Convert high-impact manual test cases into long-term automated coverage.

5. UI Automation with Playwright

• Use Playwright to automate critical operational UI workflows, including:

  • Order operations

  • Inventory dashboards

  • Warehouse control screens

• Include UI automation in regression suites for:

  • High-risk operator actions

  • Critical operational visibility

• Ensure UI reflects accurate backend and warehouse states.

• Develop stable, reliable, and non-flaky Playwright automation suites.

6. Integration & Data Validation

• Validate consistency across:

  • UI

  • APIs

  • Database state

• Test asynchronous and event-driven system behavior.

• Investigate and debug issues using:

  • Logs

  • API traces

  • SQL queries

• Report defects with clear warehouse and operational impact analysis.

Required Skills & Experience

Mandatory Skills

• 3–5 years of experience in QA / SDET roles

• Hands-on experience with warehouse systems such as WMS, WES, OMS, fulfillment, or logistics platforms

• Strong understanding of warehouse workflows and operational constraints

• Experience testing agentic or decision-driven systems where the platform:

  • Autonomously selects actions

  • Sequences tasks

  • Adapts to changing operational conditions

• Strong hands-on programming experience in Python

• Solid experience with Playwright for UI automation

• Proven ownership of regression testing and automation strategy

• Strong analytical ability to reason about workflows, state transitions, and failure scenarios in warehouse environments

Good to Have

• Experience with distributed and event-driven systems

• Exposure to robotics, warehouse automation, or industrial systems

• Experience debugging multi-service production environments

• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and modern automation practices

Preferred Candidate Profile

• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills

• Ability to work in fast-paced operational environments

• Strong ownership mindset and attention to detail

• Excellent collaboration and communication skills

• Passion for building reliable and scalable quality engineering practices
