Our client is an industry leader in mining technology, delivering smart, scalable software solutions for autonomous fleet operations and heavy industry automation. Their mission is to support safe, efficient, and data-driven mining practices.

They are focused on delivering high-reliability solutions to support autonomous fleets and mining operations, and they’re seeking a professional with a strong understanding of the product lifecycle and a passion for quality assurance and system validation.

About the Role

Reporting directly to the AutomationTest Engineer, this full-time position (5/2 roster) is responsible for executing end-to-end verification processes. You’ll play a key role in ensuring that technical specifications are met and systems are robust, scalable, and ready for deployment in mission-critical mining environments.

Key Responsibilities

  • Verification Execution: Ensure system integrity by executing structured verification processes aligned with technical specifications.
  • Test Development & Execution: Design and run both manual and automated tests (functional, reliability, scalability, performance, hardware-in-the-loop, experimental).
  • Defect Management: Identify, document, and collaborate with development teams to resolve system defects, especially in areas like real-time processing and durability.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Align testing efforts with technical goals by working closely with product owners, architects, and developers.
  • Risk Mitigation Support: Assist with identifying and addressing network reliability and data synchronization risks.
  • Quality Tracking: Contribute to the measurement and tracking of system quality metrics (e.g., uptime, fault tolerance).
  • Reporting: Provide detailed reports on testing outcomes and system performance to senior technical stakeholders.
  • Training & Knowledge Sharing: Support site maintenance teams with hands-on training and help develop technical training content for autonomy projects.

Your Background

To be successful in this role, you’ll bring:

  • A solid understanding of the product lifecycle, with a clear focus on verification and QA
  • Experience with functional, automated, reliability, scalability, and performance testing in distributed systems
  • Knowledge of autonomous mining systems and the technical complexities they involve
  • Strong analytical skills for defect diagnosis and test result evaluation
  • Excellent communication skills to liaise effectively across technical and non-technical teams
  • Exposure to automation tools and scripting languages such as Python or Selenium is highly desirable
