Test Automation Engineer Horizon Hub (auto)

Lely, founded in 1948, is committed to creating a sustainable, profitable, and enjoyable future in agriculture. Driven by the challenges farmers face and the needs of cows, we develop high-quality robots and data systems that improve animal welfare, flexibility, and productivity on dairy farms. Our mission is to support sustainable food production.

For more than 30 years, we have been a global leader in the sales and service of automated systems for successive generations of dairy farmers. Every day, we inspire our colleagues to provide customers with innovative solutions and to be a reliable partner for long-term advice and support. With our state-of-the-art Lely Campus in Maassluis and a worldwide network of dedicated Lely Centers offering tailored sales and service, Lely operates in more than fifty countries.

As a Test Automation Engineer, you will be part of the Scrum team responsible for Horizon, Lely’s farm management platform. Your primary focus will be the test automation of the Lely Hub, an on-premises device that connects farm hardware to Horizon.

In this role, you will do more than develop automated tests. You will help build, maintain, and improve the automation infrastructure that makes reliable testing possible. This includes managing test environments, maintaining CI/CD pipelines, supporting User Acceptance Testing (UAT), and troubleshooting issues across software and infrastructure.

The Lely Hub currently runs on Windows, with a migration to Linux planned. You will play an important role in preparing our test automation, tooling, and infrastructure for this transition.

You will work closely with developers, testers, and other team members to ensure our solutions are reliable, scalable, and ready for use in real-world farming environments.

You are a technically skilled Test Automation Engineer who looks beyond individual test cases and understands the importance of a reliable automation infrastructure.
