Digital Solution Engineering ManagerJob Description – Software Engineer Performance Tooling Specialist
At ABB’s Process Automation Digital Quality Engineering Center of Excellence (PADI QE COE), you’ll be at the heart of delivering trust, reliability, and innovation for our customers. This is not a traditional QA role — it is an opportunity to become part of a specialist engineering team that drives quality across every layer of the Genix IIoT and APM platforms, from DataOps pipelines and Edge connectivity to AI/ML validation, visualization, and customer solutions.
You will contribute directly to building automation-first frameworks, integrating test packs into CI/CD pipelines, and enabling functional and non-functional coverage that ensures our products meet the highest standards of performance, security, and scalability. Working alongside domain experts in energy, marine, manufacturing, and operational excellence, your role will help transform industrial operations globally.
At PADI QE COE, your work is not just about testing — it’s about enabling industries to operate smarter, safer, and more sustainably.
