Performance Tester – Aviation & Mission-Critical Systems
Senior Performance Tester for aviation & mission-critical systems — design/execute load, stress, spike, and endurance tests; Python automation; LoadRunner; remote in EMEA; real impact.
For one of our clients, RSB Automotive Consulting is looking for a Performance Tester to join a team working on advanced, data-driven platforms in the aviation and mission-critical domain.
The environment is focused on high-complexity systems supporting large-scale, global operations where performance, stability, and reliability are absolutely critical. The solutions are used in domains similar to aviation and transportation ecosystems, where system behavior under peak load directly impacts real-world operational outcomes.
The team operates in an agile, engineering-focused setup, working across multiple countries in a distributed delivery model. The role is ideal for someone who enjoys deep technical analysis, performance engineering, and ensuring systems are fully ready for production-scale usage.
The position is fully remote within the EMEA region, with flexible cooperation under B2B or UoP.
Role Overview
As a Senior Performance Tester, you will be responsible for designing and executing comprehensive performance engineering strategies for complex distributed systems. Your focus will be on ensuring scalability, stability, and readiness under real-world and peak-load conditions.
You will act as a key quality gate for system performance, supporting engineering decisions with data-driven insights and technical analysis.
Key Responsibilities
Design and execute performance, load, stress, spike, and endurance testing strategies using LoadRunner
Analyze system behavior under load and identify performance bottlenecks across application and infrastructure layers
Develop and maintain performance test scripts and scenarios
Use Python for automation, test data preparation, result analysis, and tooling development
Collaborate closely with developers, architects, and DevOps engineers to resolve performance issues
Define performance benchmarks, SLAs, and acceptance criteria for system readiness
Analyze and interpret test results, delivering clear and actionable performance reports
Support capacity planning and scalability assessments for production systems
Integrate performance testing into CI/CD pipelines where applicable
Participate in architecture and design reviews from a performance engineering perspective
Continuously improve performance testing methodologies, tools, and practices
Requirements
Experience in aviation, transportation, or mission-critical systems
5+ years of experience in performance testing / non-functional testing roles
Strong hands-on experience with LoadRunner
Solid understanding of performance testing methodologies (load, stress, spike, endurance)
Experience analyzing system, application, and infrastructure performance
Practical experience with Python for scripting, automation, or data analysis
Understanding of web-based, API-driven, and distributed systems
Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
