About The Position

Tsunami Tsolutions is seeking a QA Automation Engineer to support quality assurance for business applications and data solutions used in regulated aerospace environments. The role combines hands-on regression testing with expansion of automated test coverage. The engineer will verify that software and data changes meet requirements, validate results using SQL, and maintain clear, repeatable test documentation.

The role works with developers, business analysts, subject matter experts, and program teams to understand proposed changes, define risk-based test coverage, record test cases and evidence in Zephyr, and communicate results and defects. The team expects to expand automation over time, including the potential migration of suitable test cases to Tricentis Tosca.

This is a hybrid position based in Glastonbury, Connecticut, following a normal business schedule, with work at a local customer site as required. The position requires careful handling of export-controlled information and adherence to customer, security, development, and quality procedures. Applicants must be U.S. Persons or otherwise authorized by the U.S. Government; company sponsorship is not offered. Candidates must be able to pass the required background investigation and drug screening.

• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field.
• At least three years of experience in software quality assurance, regression testing, application testing, or a closely related discipline.

• Ability to analyze requirements and software changes, identify meaningful test coverage, and investigate unexpected results.
• Familiarity with Agile development practices and work-tracking tools such as Jira.
• Experience with a test case management tool.
• Strong attention to detail, organization, analytical thinking, and written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with developers, analysts, subject matter experts, and customers in a changing environment.
• Ability to work in a hybrid arrangement in Glastonbury, Connecticut, and travel to a local customer site as required.
• Ability to pass required background investigation and drug screening.
• Must be a U.S. Person or otherwise authorized by the U.S. Government because the position requires access to technologies and hardware subject to U.S. national security-based export control requirements; company sponsorship is not offered.

Responsibilities

• Review requirements and development changes to identify affected workflows, data structures, business rules, integrations, and downstream dependencies.
• Create and maintain test cases, test steps, expected results, and supporting evidence in Zephyr, linking coverage to the applicable work item or change.
• Write and run SQL queries to validate data transformations, expected values, allowed-value lists, completeness, and structural requirements.
• Validate SQL Server script changes in the appropriate test environment and, when assigned and approved, update scripts supporting authorized business rules or data corrections.
• Reproduce, document, and track defects, providing concise steps, supporting data, and expected-versus-actual results to development teams.
• Review test outcomes, investigate unexpected results, and support root-cause analysis and corrective-action activities.
