SW Integration Test Supervisor

The SW Integration Test Supervisor will provide technical leadership, operational management, and strategic governance for the Software Integration Testing domain. This position oversees the definition and execution of the domain test strategy, resource planning (engineering personnel, test benches, tools, and budget), and schedule alignment with Time-to-Market (TTM) organizational targets. Serving as the primary decision-maker, the role is responsible for formally approving feature-specific test strategies, establishing reliability criteria for promoting automated test suites into release-critical cycles, and enforcing rigorous quality frameworks (ASPICE). In addition, the Test Supervisor will drive strategic initiatives—including modern automation adoption and AI-based testing methods—while mentoring test leads and engineers, fostering cross-functional alignment with development and quality organizations, and delivering consolidated executive reporting on test health and risks.
