Senior SAP S/4HANA Test Automation Lead / Engineer
Role Summary
The Senior SAP S/4HANA Test Automation Engineer / Lead establishes and executes the automation strategy for complex SAP business processes, translating business risk and release scope into maintainable, reusable automated regression coverage. Hands-on Tricentis Tosca and Zephyr or Zephyr Scale experience are mandatory. Experience with other automation platforms and strong SAP S/4HANA functional expertise are welcome additions, not substitutes for the required tools. The role retains senior-level technical leadership and delivery ownership.
Primary Responsibilities
Test Strategy and Planning
Develop the SAP S/4HANA test automation strategy, roadmap, standards, and release approach.
Assess requirements and business processes for testability, risk, automation suitability, and coverage priority.
Define estimates, staffing assumptions, milestones, entry/exit criteria, and automation completion criteria.
Establish requirements-to-test-to-defect traceability and quality reporting.
Automation Engineering
Design Tosca automation architecture, reusable modules, libraries, templates, and naming conventions.
Develop complex end-to-end tests spanning SAP GUI, Fiori, interfaces, APIs, and cross-module business processes.
Define reusable test data, parameterization, recovery, synchronization, and environment-handling patterns.
Troubleshoot difficult SAP/Tosca execution failures and review automation developed by other engineers.
Execution, Defects, and Leadership
Coordinate smoke, functional, integration, and regression cycles; distinguish application defects from automation, data, environment, and configuration issues.
Lead defect triage, fix validation, execution reporting, release-readiness discussions, and Zephyr governance for suites, cycles, evidence, traceability, and dashboards.
Mentor Mid and Junior engineers, conduct peer reviews, and manage automation technical debt and the maintenance backlog
