Software Test Engineer

Candidates typically undergo a three‑stage interview process: an initial technical round focusing on Python coding and automation concepts, a domain‑specific interview covering rail systems and problem‑solving, and a final HR round. The difficulty is moderate to high, with emphasis on practical test design, API testing, and automation frameworks. Preparation tips include practicing Robot Framework scripts, reviewing ISTQB fundamentals, and solving coding problems on platforms like LeetCode.

Round 1: Technical interview covering coding (Python) and automation concepts → Round 2: Domain & behavioral interview focusing on rail systems and problem‑solving → Round 3: HR interview assessing cultural fit and motivation
