In this role you can help Autodesk users imagine and design a better world with contributing to redesign of tools and workflows for civil engineers, within the area of Building Information Modeling (BIM) software. Our products are used by architects, engineers, and other building industry professionals to design everything from the world’s tallest skyscrapers, largest airports, and new landmarks to homes and businesses that you visit every day.

Autodesk engineering team brings intelligence and efficiency to the building design and development process by solving complex software problems and responding to current and future needs of our users.

The position is based in our Krakow office, employing a hybrid working model, and involves collaboration with globally dispersed organization. Your responsibilities will range across the stack as you work with the product owner, experience designer, and other engineers to develop and maintain Revit.

Responsibilities

• Work with the development team on solution design to proactively recognize and prevent issues from developing. Test features to ensure they will interact correctly with other features in production.
• Provide input into feature design, in particular on the feasibility of features from the customer perspective. Simulate user experience and give feedback to product designers on design improvements.
• Create test cases based on real-world application of software in engineering work, to test individual functionality or the entire workflows.
• Create and maintain plans to test features or whole products at the user interface level, including functional tests, performance tests, workflow tests, install tests, globalization, and interoperability tests.
• Document test design, test plans, and test results.
• Ensure that test plans are usable by others. Participate in test plan reviews with the rest of the QA and development team.
• Manually execute test plans to find defects in features or products. Isolate and confirm defects and work with development to prioritize defects and fix them.

• Estimate, plan, schedule, and coordinate software testing tasks for themselves and others. Participate in the software estimation process (effort/time).
• Monitor customer newsgroups to detect defects in production software. Use knowledge of product and users to provide feedback to Product Management regarding the severity and customer impact of defects on the report in order to prioritize a fix.
