Quality Assurance Engineer

About your role

• Execute manual test cases against physical robot arm hardware and its controlling Windows application
• Write clear, repeatable test cases and test plans based on product specs and requirements
• Log, track, and manage bugs and test cycles through Jira
• Document test plans, results, and processes in Confluence
• Set up, calibrate, and run repeat test cycles on physical robot arm equipment
• Collaborate closely with developers and the QA Lead to clarify requirements and verify fixes
• Follow established test plans and QA processes with high consistency and reliability
• Flag edge cases, inconsistencies, or risk areas even when not explicitly instructed to look for them

Required:

• 2–4 years of QA/testing experience, primarily manual testing
• Experience testing Windows desktop applications
• Working knowledge of Jira (ticketing/bug tracking) and Confluence (documentation)
• Comfortable working with physical hardware/equipment, not just software interfaces
• Strong test case writing skills — clear, structured, repeatable
• Reliable, detail-oriented, and comfortable executing defined test plans with minimal ambiguity
• Comfortable working independently with minimal day-to-day oversight once given a test plan or objective
• Adapts quickly to shifting priorities, requirements, or test scope in a fast-paced environment
• Proactively raises questions or blockers rather than waiting for direction when things are unclear

Nice to Have:

• Prior experience testing robotics, industrial equipment, CNC machines, drones, or other hardware-in-the-loop systems
• Background in mechatronics, electronics, robotics or a related technical field
• Basic scripting/automation exposure (not required, but a plus)
• Experience in a fast-paced environment supporting a larger dev team
