Responsibilities

• Lead end to end test planning for MES validation programs by defining scope objectives estimations and timelines that align with project milestones and quality expectations for global manufacturing stakeholders.
• Oversee design of comprehensive test strategies that cover MES Val automated testing MES Val manual testing and integration scenarios across MES L2 L3 and L4 layers to assure resilient and predictable system behavior.
• Drive creation and maintenance of detailed test cases and test scripts for Camstar MES flows to validate production quality and supply chain processes while complying with internal quality standards and external regulatory expectations.
• Coordinate execution of manual and automated test cycles in a hybrid work environment ensuring that test data environments and tools are prepared in advance to avoid delays and rework.
• Provide hands on guidance in configuring and running automated test suites for MES workflows including regression and performance tests to increase test coverage and reduce release cycle time.
• Analyze complex defects discovered during MES validation and integration testing perform structured root cause analysis and work closely with technical and functional teams to drive timely resolution and prevention actions.
• Collaborate with manufacturing and supply chain domain experts to translate process requirements into testable scenarios that reflect real world production conditions and supplier constraints.
• Leverage generative AI capabilities to accelerate test artifact creation such as test scenarios test data sets and defect summaries while ensuring that outputs are reviewed and aligned with project standards.
• Prepare clear test reports and quality dashboards that summarize execution status defect trends and release readiness so that project stakeholders can make informed go or no go decisions.
• Engage with integration teams to validate data and process flows between Camstar MES and surrounding systems at L2 L3 and L4 levels ensuring accurate timely and secure information exchange.
• Ensure adherence to organizational quality frameworks validation procedures and documentation practices so that audit readiness and traceability are maintained across all MES testing activities.
• Mentor junior testers on MES validation concepts automated testing practices and defect management workflows so that the overall capability and efficiency of the test team continuously improves.
• Coordinate with project managers and architects to identify testing risks early propose mitigation strategies and adjust test plans when project scope or timelines evolve.
