Job Summary
Non Functional Test Engineer role in a hybrid work model for an airport operations and airlines domain project focusing on performance reliability and resilience testing for critical aviation applications. The engineer will design and execute non functional test strategies using automation AI test generation tools and API testing to ensure high quality systems that support safe and efficient air travel operations across global stakeholders.
Responsibilities
- Define comprehensive non functional test strategies and plans that validate performance reliability scalability and security of airport operations and airline applications in alignment with business goals and regulatory expectations.
- Design detailed test scenarios using advanced AI test generation tools to increase coverage reduce human error and accelerate identification of bottlenecks across complex aviation workflows.
- Develop robust automated test suites for performance and resilience including load stress endurance and capacity tests that provide clear metrics on system behavior under realistic airport passenger and flight volumes.
- Implement API testing frameworks that validate response time throughput data consistency and error handling for critical integrations among booking systems airport operational control systems and airline services.
- Coordinate end to end non functional test execution in a hybrid work model ensuring smooth collaboration between onsite and remote stakeholders and maintaining consistent communication and documentation.
- Analyze performance test results using structured methods to identify root causes of latency resource contention and stability issues and translate findings into practical tuning recommendations for engineering teams.
- Collaborate closely with application architects and developers to define non functional requirements capacity targets and service level objectives that reflect real world airline and airport operational demands.
- Create clear reusable test data strategies for non functional testing that simulate flight schedules passenger profiles baggage volumes and operational events without compromising privacy or compliance.
- Prepare concise dashboards and reports that present key non functional quality indicators trends and risks to project managers product owners and domain experts enabling informed decision making.
- Establish and refine automation standards for non functional tests to improve repeatability maintainability and integration into continuous integration and delivery pipelines across aviation platforms.
- Validate system behavior under failure scenarios by orchestrating component outages network disruptions and degraded services to ensure graceful recovery and minimal impact on airport and airline operations.
- Support defect triage for non functional issues by prioritizing based on customer impact operational risk and regulatory considerations and by driving timely resolution with technical teams.
- Mentor peers on non functional testing practices tools and domain specific scenarios sharing knowledge about aviation processes so the entire team can deliver higher reliability outcomes.
Qualifications
- Demonstrate strong experience in using AI test generation tools to design complex non functional test scenarios enhancing coverage and reducing test design cycle time in fast paced delivery environments.
- Apply practical expertise in test automation frameworks to create maintain and execute performance and reliability test suites that integrate seamlessly with existing build and deployment pipelines.
- Use deep hands on skills in API testing to validate functional and non functional aspects of services including response time throughput error handling and security behavior for aviation integrations.
- Bring proven domain experience in airport operations encompassing passenger handling flight turnaround baggage operations and resource allocation to design realistic performance test scenarios.
- Exhibit solid understanding of airline business processes such as reservations ticketing check in boarding disruption management and loyalty programs to align non functional testing with actual use cases.
- Possess strong analytical abilities in interpreting performance metrics logs and traces enabling quick isolation of capacity constraints configuration issues and architectural limitations.
- Show capability to work effectively in a hybrid model managing time collaboration tools and documentation practices to maintain transparency and continuity across distributed teams.
- Maintain familiarity with industry standards and good practices related to non functional quality performance security and reliability in mission critical transportation and travel systems.
