SDET / Test Automation Engineer – Enterprise Systems

General Description of Work:

Acoufelt is seeking an SDET / Test Automation Engineer to help establish automated quality practices for the internal systems that support our business operations. This is a hands-on, foundational role focused on building automated regression coverage, reusable test patterns, and repeatable validation across Salesforce and connected Enterprise Systems workflows. The right person will be comfortable building structure where limited automation exists today, helping systems developers adopt test-first habits, and contributing to configuration, troubleshooting, or admin work when it supports the team’s delivery. This role is not a downstream QA function, a Salesforce administrator backfill, or a dedicated application security engineer — its primary focus is automated quality engineering. This is an in-person position, located at our Auburn Hills, MI Headquarters.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:

• Strong understanding of software testing principles, methodologies, and best practices
• Hands-on experience with Playwright or Selenium for browser-based test automation
• Working knowledge of Salesforce — Apex, Flows, validation rules, permission sets, or integration points
• Ability to write scripts or code in a modern programming language (JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Java, or similar)
• Familiarity with API testing tools, SQL, data validation, and CI/CD concepts
• Strong communicator able to collaborate with developers, Business Analysts, and IT partners

Key Responsibilities:

• Test Automation & Regression Coverage: Build and maintain automated regression tests for critical Enterprise Systems workflows using Playwright or Selenium. Establish test automation patterns, conventions, and reusable framework components for the Enterprise Systems team.
• Salesforce, Integration & API Validation: Create automated validation for APIs, integrations, data movement, and system-to-system business processes. Validate Salesforce flows, validation rules, permission sets, profiles, roles, and approval processes. Support security-aware testing for authentication, authorization, role-based access, input validation, and sensitive data behavior.
• Business Process Understanding: Work with systems developers and Business Analysts to translate business requirements and acceptance criteria into meaningful automated test coverage. Develop a working understanding of Acoufelt’s internal processes so coverage reflects real operational use. Identify high-risk workflows and coverage gaps across Enterprise Systems delivery.
• Collaboration & Developer Enablement: Help systems developers move toward developer-owned automated testing and more testable system design. Support defect investigation, root-cause analysis, and release validation when automation surfaces risk. Provide targeted development, configuration, or admin support when it helps the team deliver.

General Qualifications & Education:

• 3+ years of experience in test automation, SDET, or development roles with a strong testing focus.
• Hands-on experience with Playwright or Selenium for browser-based automation.
• Working knowledge of Salesforce — Apex, Flows, validation rules, permission sets, or integration points.
• Ability to write scripts or code in a modern programming language (JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Java, or similar).
• Experience with API testing tools, integration validation, SQL, and version control/CI/CD workflows.

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation and bonuses
• Comprehensive health insurance including a choice of two medical plans, dental, vision, employer paid health savings account, and voluntary accident, hospital, life, critical illness.
• Paid Time Off starting at 15 days with carry over
• Collaborative wellness program
• Paid volunteer time off
• 401k employer match
• Employee Assistance Program
• Rewards and Recognitions
