Software Test Lead—Calumet, MI

ThermoAnalytics is seeking an energetic, test-obsessed Software Test Lead to champion the testing effort in our growing software development team. Our team is responsible for producing the flagship CAE thermal and infrared signature modeling products RadTherm and MuSES, and for creating prototypes of future products built on our core technical strengths. ThermoAnalytics is an industry leading provider of engineering services and CAE software located in the technical hub of Michigan's scenic Upper Peninsula.

As the Software Test Lead, you will steer the test and QA activities throughout the software development life cycle and be an active member of the development team. Responsibilities include writing and performing tests of all varieties, automating and maintaining test system infrastructure, mentoring developers in agile test practices, and leading the development team's use of test practices, standards, and tools in an agile software development environment. Your enthusiastic test-obsession will infect the entire organization during close collaboration as a member of the software delivery team. You will share all of the team's responsibilities, from release and iteration planning, development, and on through demos and retrospectives.

Would you rather be playing outdoors and spending your free time with your family rather than battling the daily commute? Join the team at ThermoAnalytics and trade in your "rush hour" for a skiing rush, mountain bike commute, sailing regatta, hiking epiphany, or kayak surfing on Lake Superior.
