The Impact you will have in this role:

Being a member of IT Enterprise Architecture Data & Corp Tech team, the Lead Infrastructure Test Engineer – Endpoint Testing & Automation will lead the design, execution, automation, and continuous improvement of enterprise endpoint and servers validation for accelerated patch and application release cycles. this role is accountable for enabling ETE certification within a short testing SLA after deployment and release. The role will drive automated functional, regression, standard application, and performance testing using Login VSI and custom automation frameworks while ensuring measurable quality gates, actionable defect triage, and leadership-ready reporting across Laptop, VDI, VM, Windows laptop, VDI server and macOS environments.

The Enterprise Infrastructure End-to-End Testing (ETE) function validates endpoint readiness, stability, user experience, application functionality, and performance across VDI, Azure Persistent VM, Windows laptop, and macOS platforms following monthly patches, security updates, application upgrades, and emergency releases. The team partners with DWS Stakeholders to deliver rapid, evidence-based certification of enterprise endpoints while reducing user-impact risk.

 

Your Primary Responsibilities:

• Own and lead enterprise ETE endpoint and VDI assets validation across VDI, vPod, Windows laptops, VDI servers, and macOS following OS patches, security updates, application/agent upgrades, and business releases.
• Deliver accelerated testing SLAs \ by defining prioritized execution models, entry/exit criteria, automation runbooks, and rapid defect triage workflows. Provide fast, evidence-based release certification including pass/fail status, defect classification, risk assessment, and go/no-go recommendations in collaboration with DWS stakeholders.
• Drive unified functional, regression, and performance validation using standardized ETE test cases and Login VSI workloads to benchmark user experience, application response, and capacity impact.
•  Design, build, and scale automation frameworks leveraging Python, PowerShell, APIs, and command-line tooling to automate endpoint validation, health checks, application testing, telemetry capture, and evidence generation.
• Standardize performance and experience validation by tracking CPU, memory, disk, logon time, application response, and Login VSI deltas against baseline metrics.
• Develop cross-platform validation workflows, including macOS testing for patch readiness, compliance, authentication, application behavior, security agent compatibility, and performance baselining.
• Perform deep OS and application troubleshooting across Windows environments, including event logs, services, drivers, kernel/CPU scheduling, memory/disk performance, network stack behavior, login delays, and endpoint agent conflicts. Leverage observability platforms (e.g., SysTrack, Login VSI, Event Viewer, PerfMon) to accelerate defect identification, root cause analysis, and impact quantification.
• Operate patch-cycle command center execution with defined ownership, severity models, escalation paths, and structured communication cadence for compressed release timelines.
• Establish automation-first, repeatable test execution models to increase coverage, reduce manual effort, improve consistency, and elimina
