from Autodesk careersJob Requisition ID #
Position Overview
Fusion Industry Cloud relies on accurate, trustworthy analytics and system state signals. This role is a Principal QA developer responsible for building the quality strategy and automation systems that ensure analytics reporting and SSR pipelines are correct, stable, and “fail fast.” You will help shift detection left: catching reporting defects in CI/PR workflows and validating downstream pipeline correctness end-to-end.
Responsibilities
Define and execute the analytics quality strategy across client reporting, SSR pipelines, and downstream consumption
Build automated test frameworks that detect analytics/reporting failures early (PR/CI), including regression coverage and dynamic validation suites
Create end-to-end test plans covering ingestion → validation → enrichment → warehouse publication → dashboard/BI outputs
Develop reusable test harnesses, test data, and validation utilities; integrate results into developer workflows
Partner with engineering to define “definition of done” for analytics features (test plans, automation coverage, performance checks, release readiness)
Triage pipeline/data quality issues, analyze root causes, and drive corrective actions with engineering partners
Coach and raise quality practices across the team through standards, templates, and clear accountability
Minimum Qualifications
8+ years in QA/SDET roles with substantial automation responsibility
Strong programming/scripting skills (e.g., Python/Java/TypeScript) and test automation frameworks
Experience testing distributed systems, pipelines, or data-driven products end-to-end
