Software Quality Engineers at Sirona help ensure the reliability and quality of our products through a combination of automated, functional, and exploratory testing. In this role, you will write and maintain automated tests for web applications and APIs, investigate defects, and work closely with product and engineering teams to improve test coverage and release quality.

You will contribute to existing test automation frameworks with support and guidance from experienced engineers while continuing to develop your software testing and coding skills. You will also use modern testing frameworks and AI-assisted development tools to improve testing efficiency and help ensure quality is built into every release.

This is a hybrid role working out of our Burlington, VT office a minimum of 3 days each week.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain automated tests for web applications and APIs using modern testing frameworks
• Perform functional, regression, and exploratory testing of new and existing product features
• Use AI-assisted development tools to accelerate the creation, maintenance, debugging, and improvement of automated tests and evaluate new tools that may improve test coverage, reliability, and engineering productivity
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to clarify requirements, identify test scenarios, and ensure appropriate test coverage
• Contribute to and improve existing frontend and backend test automation frameworks and support the integration of automated tests into CI/CD pipelines, with guidance from experienced engineers
• Execute and analyze automated test runs, identify defects, document findings clearly, support root-cause analysis, and validate fixes
• Participate in design reviews to identify opportunities to improve testability and automation
• Balance automated and hands-on testing approaches based on product risk, feature complexity, and release needs
