Role Overview:The Performance Test Engineer will be responsible for designing, executing, and analyzing performance, load, stress, endurance, and scalability tests for ArcGIS Pro-based environments. This role involves establishing performance baselines, measuring system responsiveness during key GIS workflows, and identifying bottlenecks to ensure optimal platform performance.
Key Responsibilities:- Design and execute comprehensive performance, load, stress, endurance, and scalability tests for ArcGIS Pro environments.
- Establish platform performance baselines for ArcGIS Pro installations and configurations.
- Measure and analyze system responsiveness during critical GIS user workflows, including map opening, rendering, zoom/pan operations, feature editing, layer refresh, attribute queries, geoprocessing, and data synchronization.
- Define clear performance benchmarks and acceptance criteria for GIS operations.
- Develop realistic test scenarios simulating concurrent user workloads and GIS usage patterns.
- Create and maintain performance test scripts utilizing LoadRunner Enterprise (LRE) and Apache JMeter.
- Automate the execution, monitoring, and reporting of performance tests, integrating them into CI/CD pipelines where applicable.
- Build reusable performance testing frameworks and assets.
- Monitor client-side and server-side performance metrics during test execution.
- Analyze response times, resource utilization (CPU, Memory, Disk, Network), rendering performance, transaction throughput, and system scalability.
- Identify performance bottlenecks related to ArcGIS Pro processing, network latency, data layers, infrastructure constraints, and client workstation performance.
- Produce detailed performance assessment reports and dashboards, presenting findings, trends, risks, and recommendations to stakeholders.
- Collaborate with GIS engineers, infrastructure teams, developers, and architects to resolve identified performance issues and participate in root cause analysis and performance tuning activities.
Required Skills:- Hands-on experience with LoadRunner Enterprise (LRE) and Apache JMeter.
- Strong understanding of performance testing methodologies including Load Testing, Stress Testing, Soak/Endurance Testing, Scalability Testing, and Baseline Testing.
- Experience analyzing system performance using various monitoring and profiling tools.
- Strong understanding of Windows-based environments and enterprise infrastructure.
- Proficiency in creating test plans, workload models, and comprehensive performance reports.
- Excellent troubleshooting and analytical skills.
Qualifications:- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, GIS, Engineering, or a related field.
- 5+ years of experience in Performance Testing and Engineering.
Preferred Skills:- Experience with ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Enterprise, or other Esri technologies.
- Understanding of GIS concepts such as spatial data, feature layers, map services, geodatabases, and geoprocessing workflows.
- Experience using monitoring tools like Dynatrace, AppDynamics, Splunk, Grafana, or Prometheus.
- Familiarity with scripting languages including Python, PowerShell, or Java.
- Experience working in AWS cloud-hosted GIS environments.
