Do you dream of making the world a better place? At Vestas, we are motivated by our vision to advocate for a sustainable future. If you're interested in transforming the way software is built and tested, join us as a Champion of Automated Testing and be part of creating solutions that support the fight against climate change.

Your Role

As a Champion of Automated Testing, you'll bring your skills and enthusiasm for testing to our Wind Power Plant Service and Network Services teams. Together, we develop advanced software solutions that configure, monitor, and maintain Wind Power Plants and Vestas' global network infrastructure.

You will be in charge of embedding Test-Driven Development (TDD) and Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) practices across our teams. Through automation, you'll enable us to deliver high-quality software faster and more reliably, empowering teams to innovate with confidence.

How Achievements Are Defined

We envision a future where testing is not an afterthought but a driver of development and serves as a shared language between developers and stakeholders. You will support this transformation by:

• Improved quality of deliveries, with executable BDD as Acceptance Criteria. By establishing automated testing as a core practice, starting with sunshine scenarios and critical error cases, and expanding to encompass a rich set of tests over time
• Guiding teams to adopt TDD principles to ensure code is developed with testing at its heart
• Introducing BDD practices to integrate the user's perspective, making acceptance criteria part of the refinement process, and ensuring alignment across teams

To contribute effectively in the role, you must implement the above, lead by example, and show how well-defined, automated tests create clarity and confidence in every step of the development lifecycle, and the business gets what is agreed upon with development.
