We are looking for a meticulous and detail-oriented Software Test Engineer to join our dynamic team. As a Software Test Engineer, you will be responsible for designing and implementing tests, debugging, and defining corrective actions. You will also review system requirements and track quality assurance metrics (e.g., defect densities and open defect counts). The Software Test Engineer role plays an important part in our company’s product development process. Our ideal candidate will be responsible for conducting tests before product launches to ensure software runs smoothly and meets client needs while being cost-effective. If you hold an engineering background and enjoy providing end-to-end solutions to software quality problems, we’d like to meet you. Your primary goal will be to ensure that our products, applications, and systems work correctly. You will be working closely with our development team to understand the software requirements and design test plans accordingly. You will also be responsible for creating detailed, comprehensive, and well-structured test plans and test cases. Additionally, you will estimate, prioritize, plan, and coordinate testing activities. You will identify, record, document thoroughly, and track bugs. You will also perform thorough regression testing when bugs are resolved. You will develop and apply testing processes for new and existing products to meet client needs. You will monitor debugging process results and investigate the causes of non-conforming software and train users to implement solutions. You will stay up-to-date with new testing tools and test strategies. The role requires a strong understanding of software QA methodologies, tools, and processes. You should have experience in writing clear, concise, and comprehensive test plans and test cases. You should also have hands-on experience with both white box and black box testing. Experience with automated testing tools is a plus. You should have a solid knowledge of SQL and scripting. You should also have experience working in an Agile/Scrum development process. A BS/MS degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related subject is preferred. Excellent communication skills and the ability to work in a team environment are essential.
