Non-Functional Test Engineer

About the Role

Non-Functional Test Engineer in a hybrid work model for an airport operations and airlines domain project. Focus on performance, reliability, and resilience testing for critical aviation applications. The role involves designing and executing non-functional test strategies using automation, AI test generation tools, and API testing to ensure high-quality systems for safe and efficient air travel operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Define comprehensive non-functional test strategies and plans to validate performance, reliability, scalability, and security of airport operations and airline applications.
• Design detailed test scenarios using advanced AI test generation tools to increase coverage, reduce human error, and accelerate identification of bottlenecks.
• Develop robust automated test suites for performance and resilience, including load, stress, endurance, and capacity tests.
• Implement API testing frameworks to validate response time, throughput, data consistency, and error handling for critical integrations.
• Coordinate end-to-end non-functional test execution in a hybrid work model, ensuring collaboration between onsite and remote stakeholders.
• Analyze performance test results to identify root causes of latency, resource contention, and stability issues, and translate findings into tuning recommendations.
• Collaborate with application architects and developers to define non-functional requirements, capacity targets, and service level objectives.
• Create clear, reusable test data strategies for non-functional testing that simulate operational events.
• Prepare dashboards and reports presenting key non-functional quality indicators, trends, and risks.
• Establish and refine automation standards for non-functional tests to improve repeatability, maintainability, and integration into CI/CD pipelines.
• Validate system behavior under failure scenarios, orchestrating component outages and network disruptions to ensure graceful recovery.
• Support defect triage for non-functional issues, prioritizing based on customer impact, operational risk, and regulatory considerations.
• Mentor peers on non-functional testing practices, tools, and domain-specific scenarios, sharing knowledge about aviation processes.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Strong experience using AI test generation tools for designing complex non-functional test scenarios.
• Practical expertise in test automation frameworks to create, maintain, and execute performance and reliability test suites.
• Deep hands-on skills in API testing to validate functional and non-functional aspects of services, including response time, throughput, error handling, and security behavior.
• Proven domain experience in airport operations (e.g., passenger handling, flight turnaround, baggage operations, resource allocation).
• Solid understanding of airline business processes (e.g., reservations, ticketing, check-in, boarding, disruption management).
• Strong analytical abilities in interpreting performance metrics, logs, and traces.
• Capability to work effectively in a hybrid model, managing time, collaboration tools, and documentation practices.
• Familiarity with industry standards and best practices for non-functional quality, performance, security, and reliability in mission-critical transportation and travel systems.
