OSI Digital is seeking a skilled Automation Engineer for its Quality Engineering practice. This person will design, build, and execute automated test solutions across web and API layers, while also contributing hands-on to manual testing activities and AI-driven test automation research.

This is a hands-on delivery role that suits someone with strong automation engineering fundamentals, solid manual testing discipline, and a genuine interest in applying AI to make testing faster and smarter, while working effectively both independently and as part of a team.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain automated test scripts using Selenium and Playwright for web and API testing.
• Write and maintain automation code in Python, Java, or TypeScript, following clean, maintainable coding practices.
• Apply strong understanding of automation frameworks, locator strategies, test design techniques, and debugging to build reliable, low-maintenance test suites.
• Review and understand test plans, perform test design, execute manual test cases, and report defects clearly and thoroughly.
• Communicate test status, risks, and issues clearly to stakeholders.
• Operate effectively both as an independent contributor and as part of a collaborative QA team.
• Participate fully in Agile ceremonies (sprint planning, stand-ups, retrospectives) and deliver testing work within sprint timelines.
• Contribute to AI based research and proof-of-concept development across Selenium, Playwright, Python, and Postman.
• Explore AI-driven test generation, self-healing automation, and intelligent failure analysis techniques.
• Work with the team to integrate AI solutions into existing automation frameworks.

Required Skills and Experience

Core Experience

• 3 to 5 years of hands-on experience in test automation using Selenium and Playwright.
• Strong manual testing experience, including test plan interpretation, test design, test execution, and defect reporting.
• Experience working in Agile development environments.

Automation and Scripting Skills

• Strong with automation frameworks such as Selenium, Playwright.
• Strong scripting skills in Python, Java, or TypeScript.
• API and UI automation, regression, and in-sprint testing.
• Good understanding of automation frameworks, locator strategies, test design, and debugging techniques.
• Ability to build and maintain reusable, scalable automation scripts.

AI and Research Skills

• Contribute to AI based research and POC development across Selenium, Playwright, Python, and Postman.
• Familiarity with AI-driven test generation, self-healing automation, and intelligent failure analysis.
• Comfortable exploring new tools and integrating AI-based solutions into existing automation frameworks.

Soft Skills

• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Able to work independently as well as collaboratively within a team.

Nice to Have

• Experience with API testing tools such as Postman or RestAssured.
• Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and Git-based version control workflows.
