AVEVA Process Simulation - Domain QA Engineer

Overview

Use your Chemical Engineering and process simulation expertise to ensure AVEVA Process Simulation (APS) capabilities meet expected process behavior, are reliable for customers, and maintain high quality across releases.

What you'll do

• Ensure quality of delivered features in AVEVA Process Simulation through domain-driven test planning, execution, and validation.
• Contribute to feature grooming from a domain perspective: review requirements, identify risks and edge cases, and propose acceptance criteria and test scenarios.
• Design, execute, and maintain test suites (regression, functional, domain validation) so that new and existing features continue to work as expected.
• Validate simulation results against expected physical behavior, engineering heuristics, and benchmark or reference cases where applicable.
• Collaborate with developers and stakeholders (product, domain experts, and support) to deliver quality software within planned timelines.
• Interact with customers and primary support to address queries and concerns related to APS.
• Continuously improve QA effectiveness by enhancing coverage, identifying gaps in existing suites, and recommending improvements to test strategy and documentation.

What you'll need

• BE/B.Tech (or higher) in Chemical Engineering.
• 3+ years of relevant experience in domain QA, process engineering validation, simulation workflows, or testing/validation of engineering software.
• Strong fundamentals in Chemical Engineering principles.
• Good understanding of process equipment and unit operations (design intent and operating behavior).
• Working knowledge of simulation tools such as HYSYS, Aspen Plus, or PRO/II.
• Proficiency in mathematical modelling and interpreting simulation outputs logically.
• Testing / QA mindset (domain-driven), with the ability to create structured test scenarios, cover edge cases, and maintain regression suites over time.
• Ability to write scripts for test automation and productivity tooling (e.g., Python, PowerShell, TypeScript or C#).
• Experience building and maintaining automated test workflows (test data setup, execution, reporting, and regression runs).
• Familiarity with version control (Git) and collaborative development practices (code reviews, branching).
• Basic understanding of CI/CD concepts and how automated test suites are integrated into build/release pipelines (Azure DevOps or similar).
• Comfortable debugging automation failures (environment issues, flaky tests, dependency/configuration problems) and improving reliability.
• Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills (identify what changed, isolate conditions, articulate repro steps clearly).
• Effective communication skills for cross-functional collaboration and customer/support interactions.

Nice to have

• Coursework in Modelling and Simulation.
• Experience in process design.
• Refining / Oil & Gas background.
• APS exposure.
• Experience in testing simulation software or validating simulation models/features.
