Original job description

Software Analyst – Testing (Intermediate)

Location: Scarborough, ON (Hybrid, minimum 2 days on-site)

Employment Type: 12-Month Contract

Start Date: immediately

About Our Client

Our client is a global leader in rail technology. They deliver signaling and train control solutions to major transit systems around the world. Their Toronto-area team supports large-scale rail signaling projects in the United Kingdom.

Position Summary

The Intermediate Software Analyst ensures the quality of software delivered for large-scale rail signaling projects. This is a testing role, not a development role. The work focuses on in-phase, black-box, interface and system integration testing. You'll work closely with software developers and systems engineers to create, run and evaluate software tests, and you'll build a deep understanding of CBTC signaling systems and rail operations.

A proactive mindset and the ability to ramp up quickly are key to success in this role.

Key Responsibilities

Analyze system, subsystem and software requirements to define validation methods and test cases
Develop and maintain test plans, procedures and test cases. Where no procedure exists, write new test procedures and operational scenarios.
Perform interface and system integration testing in the lab and in desktop simulation environments
Run operational and stress ("bust-it") test scenarios
Analyze logs, data files and design documentation to investigate test anomalies
Work with developers and systems engineers to find the root cause of failures
Prepare test reports and clearly communicate results to engineering staff, supervisors and customers
Develop test automation where applicable
Promote a strong safety culture and identify safety-related defects early
Continuously look for ways to improve testing methods and processes

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Engineering
3–5 years of software testing experience
CBTC or rail signaling testing experience is strongly preferred. Candidates with testing experience from other safety-critical transportation industries, such as aerospace or automotive, will also be considered.
Experience with interface and system integration testing
Ability to analyze logs and investigate defects
Strong communication skills and the ability to work in cross-functional teams
Ability to work independently and manage your own priorities across multiple projects
Ability to work on-site in Scarborough at least 2 days per week, plus lab days as needed

Nice to Have

Jira and DOORS
Experience with simulation tools
Scripting or automation in Python, Perl or VB script
C/C++ knowledge

Interview Process

Round 1: a 30-minute Teams interview
Round 2: a 1-hour in-person technical interview at the client's Scarborough office

Requirements

Requires a bachelor's degree in Engineering and 3–5 years of software testing experience, including interface and system integration testing and the ability to analyze logs and investigate defects. CBTC or rail signaling experience is strongly preferred; experience in other safety-critical transportation industries, strong communication, and independent work skills are also relevant.
