About The Role

Agility is building a Performance Testing team to ensure that our hardware and software are thoroughly tested and continually monitored. 

About The Work

• Experience in leading the development of large scale automated and manual testing strategies for a complex robotic system.
• Implementation and use of automated testing tools.
• Developing and documenting testing proposals to stakeholders
• Analyze, diagnose and identify the root cause of applications performance issues. Prototype and implement necessary changes in order to resolve the performance issues.
• Recommend, design and develop techniques which will improve performance, ease of use, and manageability.
• Demonstrated proficiency in metrics and working through data sets
• Conduct performance testing and evaluate the test results. Identify concerns as well as points of contention from the benchmark as well as present a summary of the benchmark analysis to developers, systems integration engineers, and architects.
• Develop and extend custom applications using the relevant technologies.
• Work well independently as well as part of a team on assigned tasks; generating and implementing creative solutions which will improve customer implementations. Collaborate
