About Siddhesh Parab

I am an ISTQB-certified Senior Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) with over 6 years of experience delivering robust, automation-driven quality assurance solutions across Automotive and Medical/Healthcare domains. My career blends deep CAD automation expertise with broad test engineering capabilities, enabling me to design, implement, and optimize testing solutions for desktop, web, and API applications. I specialize in Python-based automation frameworks with Pytest and Playwright, developing scalable, maintainable solutions that cover CAD workflows, web UI automation, API validation, and continuous integration pipelines. In CAD environments, I have worked extensively with geometry validation, mesh verification, and 3D printing workflows, leveraging tools like CATIA V5 & 3DExperience to ensure design accuracy, compliance, and performance. Across my projects, I have delivered measurable results, including: Achieving 70%+ automation coverage for critical CAD workflows used in manufacturing 3D-printed patient aligners, significantly reducing validation time and human error. Designing Python-based tools that automated geometry compliance checks, mesh quality verification, and bulk data import, improving engineering throughput and consistency. Building Playwright & Pytest automation frameworks for web-based CAD tools and enterprise platforms, enabling cross-browser and API testing with reusable, data-driven test scripts. Collaborating closely with Product Owners, SDETs, Developers, and Business Analysts to ensure every release aligns with functional requirements, engineering standards, and regulatory guidelines. My work philosophy centers on bridging the gap between engineering design and quality assurance. I combine a domain-driven approach from CAD and mechanical engineering with a modern software engineering mindset for automation, scalability, and maintainability. This allows me to contribute value whether the challenge is automating complex CAD validation workflows or implementing enterprise-grade API and UI testing solutions. I am passionate about mentoring QA engineers, fostering collaboration between development and QA teams, and implementing practices that improve test coverage, accuracy, and delivery speed.
