Our products, present in a wide variety of fields, that contribute to improve the quality of life of millions of people. BGSW-MX is part of BGSW India which is the largest development Center outside of India. BGSW is 19,000 + Strong engineering and IT workforce supporting Bosch divisions as well as providing product and services for third party customers. BGSW has 4 development center 2 in India, 1 in Vietnam, 1 in Poland and 1 in Mexico. jobDescription Design the implementation of robust, scalable automation frameworks using Selenium and Python, tailored for web, mobile, and IoT platforms. Architect modular, reusable, and data-driven test automation solutions using frameworks such as PyTest, unittest, or Robot Framework. Implement and manage comprehensive automation strategies for mobile application testing using Appium, incorporating hybrid, native, and webview testing methodologies across Android and iOS platforms. Develop custom logging and reporting mechanisms, including HTML reports, logfile parsing, and test dashboards to ensure clear visibility of test results and trends. Collaborate with development and product teams to define and implement automation roadmaps, test strategies, and risk-based test plans aligned with release cycles. Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI), and ensure seamless test execution across staging and production environments. Conduct API testing and validation using Postman and REST Assured, with a focus on integration, contract testing, and backend verification. Incorporate performance testing techniques using tools such as JMeter or Locust, to identify bottlenecks and validate system scalability under load. Drive security-focused test cases, including input validation, authentication flows, and vulnerability coverage as part of the automation strategy. Perform test coverage analysis, track test effectiveness metrics, and proactively identify opportunities to optimize the regression test suite for efficiency and accuracy. Lead the troubleshooting and root cause analysis of test failures, using detailed log reviews and cross-functional collaboration to ensure quick defect resolution. Conduct code reviews for automation test scripts, and promote best practices in automation design, test data management, and version control. Actively participate in Agile ceremonies daily standups, sprint planning, grooming, and retrospectives and contribute to story estimation and test case alignment qualifications 3+ years of experience Cloud-Based Automation Testing Responsibilities: Implement and manage cloud-based test execution using platforms such as BrowserStack, Sauce Labs, or AWS Device Farm for cross-browser and cross-device testing. Integrate cloud-based testing platforms into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI) to enable parallel, distributed test execution and reduce feedback cycles. Configure and maintain test environments in the cloud, ensuring consistent, scalable, and cost-effective automation infrastructure. Utilize virtual machines, containers, or cloud device grids to simulate real-world testing conditions across various browsers, OS versions, and mobile devices. Monitor and analyze test results from cloud platforms, integrating them with reporting tools and dashboards for visibility across teams. Leverage cloud analytics and logs to debug flaky tests, diagnose failures, and optimize test performance. Ensure secure handling of credentials, test data, and access control when working in cloud-based environments. Simulator, Emulator, and Real IoT Device Testing Responsibilities: Design and execute automated test cases on simulators and emulators to validate mobile and IoT application behavior in controlled virtual environments. Set up and maintain emulator/simulator environments for Android (AVD) and iOS (Xcode Simulator) to support continuous integration and rapid testing workflows. Conduct functional, integration, and connectivity testing on real IoT devices, verifying device-to-cloud communication, data transmission, and sensor interactions. Validate performance, responsiveness, and reliability of IoT applications across simulated environments and actual hardware to ensure consistency and robustness. Develop test scripts that adapt to both virtual environments and physical devices, optimizing for reuse and minimal maintenance overhead. Capture and analyze device logs, telemetry data, and network traffic to identify issues during real device testing. Coordinate with hardware teams and device labs to schedule and manage real device test execution, especially for firmware updates and over-the-air (OTA) scenarios. Compare results between simulated/emulated and real device runs to detect environment-specific defects or performance gaps. Ensure test cases account for device-specific limitations, connectivity variations (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, , etc) additionalInformation
