Senior Principal AI Test Automation Engineer

Advantest is seeking a Senior Principal AI Test Automation Engineer to

design and deliver reliable automation for complex engineering and production

test environments.

This role combines advanced test engineering, software automation, CI/CD, and

AI-enabled workflows. You will build repeatable systems that validate, execute,

monitor, and diagnose technical workloads across laboratory and production

environments.

We are looking for a hands-on technical leader who understands both physical

test systems and modern software architecture.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect production-grade test automation and CI/CD pipelines.
• Automate build, validation, execution, artifact collection, analysis, and

release gating.

• Integrate AI-generated recommendations into controlled engineering

workflows.

• Define validation and approval gates before automated actions interact

with hardware.

• Build structured interfaces between AI systems, test software, instruments,

and data services.

• Develop failure classification, diagnostics, recovery, and escalation

processes.

• Create reproducible execution environments using containers and version

controlled configurations.

• Establish observability, regression testing, and evidence-based release

criteria.

• Mentor engineers and set technical standards for automation and

production readiness.
