We are seeking an experienced Software QA Engineer - CFD to join our Quality Center of Excellence and help ensure the quality, reliability, and performance of our engineering simulation products. In this role, you will focus on testing CFD and simulation workflows, with particular emphasis on HyperMesh CFD functionality, test automation, performance, and product robustness across multiple platforms. You will work closely with software development, product management, applications engineering, DevOps, and other cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality simulation solutions.
Key Responsibilities- Drive end-to-end quality assurance activities across the software development lifecycle, independently planning and executing testing activities to ensure product quality, reliability, and release readiness.
- Review user stories, product requirements, use cases, and design specifications to assess testability and develop comprehensive test strategies and scenarios for CFD and engineering simulation workflows.
- Design and execute functional, regression, stress, performance, and cross-platform tests, combining manual and automated testing to validate product functionality and robustness.
- Develop and maintain automated test suites using scripting technologies, and port or optimize existing automated tests for high-performance computing environments to improve test coverage and execution efficiency.
- Investigate software defects beyond initial identification by providing clear reproduction steps, analyzing logs and diagnostic information, and collaborating with development teams to support root-cause analysis and resolution.
- Improve QA effectiveness through AI-assisted testing, automation initiatives, and modern QA practices, while continuously evaluating opportunities to enhance test efficiency, coverage, and product quality.
- Collaborate closely with Development, DevOps, Product Management, Applications Engineering, Documentation, and QA teams, championing software quality and promoting testing standards and best practices throughout the development lifecycle.
Qualifications- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Computational Fluid Dynamics, or a closely related engineering discipline.
- 5-7 years of software QA/testing experience with CAE or CFD products, including hands-on experience validating complex engineering simulation workflows.
- Hands-on experience with HyperMesh CFD or similar CFD pre-processing tools, with a strong understanding of CFD fundamentals and simulation workflows.
- Strong knowledge of mesh generation techniques, including surface and volume meshing, boundary-condition definition, and solver setup workflows.
- Practical experience with at least one major CFD solver or simulation environment, such as Simcenter STAR-CCM+, ANSYS Fluent, OpenFOAM, AcuSolve, or STAR-CCM+.
- Strong understanding of software testing methodologies, defect lifecycle management, test design, and test management tools such as Jira, Xray, Azure DevOps, or similar platforms.
- Proficiency in scripting and test automation using Python, Tcl, Shell scripting, or similar technologies, along with strong analytical, troubleshooting, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
