Job Description
We are seeking a highly skilled Test Automation Engineer to design and implement a sustainable test automation framework supporting IRS DME automation projects. This role will establish regression test coverage, ensure code stability through CI/CD integration, and enable scalable test case development across multiple automations. The engineer will work closely with developers, solution architects, and DevOps to build reusable test components and frameworks that integrate seamlessly with GitHub and Jenkins pipelines.
The end goal: every code change or platform upgrade should automatically trigger regression test suites, validating that automations remain stable without requiring extensive manual testing.

Key Responsibilities
  • Framework Development
    • Design and implement a reusable test automation framework for UiPath automations and other coded workflows (C#, Python, Java, etc.).
    • Develop reusable test components to reduce time and effort required for validating multiple automations.
    • Establish a strategy for test case parameterization, data-driven testing, and API-based validation.
  • Regression & Unit Testing
    • Build and maintain a comprehensive regression test suite triggered automatically upon code check-ins to GitHub.
    • Implement unit tests for core automation functions (e.g., authentication, spreadsheet operations, REST API calls).
    • Ensure new features or platform changes (e.g., .NET or UiPath version upgrades) do not break existing automations.
  • CI/CD Integration
    • Integrate automated testing into Jenkins pipelines for continuous validation.
    • Ensure regression tests run automatically on builds before promotion to higher environments.
    • Provide reporting and dashboards to track pass/fail trends and code coverage.
  • Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing
    • Partner with automation developers to guide testability design and framework usage.
    • Enable other teams to leverage common reusable components for their test cases.
    • Document and standardize test automation practices across the program.

Required Skills & Qualifications
  • Strong proficiency in C# (preferred), with experience in Python or Java for automation testing.
  • Experience designing or contributing to test automation frameworks (unit, regression, data-driven).
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar).
  • Knowledge of mocking frameworks (e.g., Mockito for Java, or similar approaches in C#).
  • Ability to design reusable test components that can be applied across multiple automations.
  • Experience with RPA tools (UiPath preferred) or validating workflows across automation platforms.
  • Strong understanding of SDLC, DevOps, and test-driven development (TDD/BDD) practices.
  • Excellent problem-solving and collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with IRS or other federal government automation programs.
  • Familiarity with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) for test environments.
  • Knowledge of platform upgrade testing strategies (e.g., .NET version migration, UiPath platform upgrades).
  • Prior experience in building test frameworks for large automation portfolios (>100 automations).

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
