The Role

We are seeking an experienced Senior SQA Engineer to join our quality assurance team and play a key role in delivering high-quality software products. In this hands‑on senior role, you will drive testing efforts from early planning through post‑release validation, ensuring our web-based (cloud) and instrument software applications meet the highest standards of functionality, reliability, and usability in a fast‑paced Agile environment.

Responsibilities

• Review requirements, specifications, and design documents to ensure clarity, completeness, and testability.
• Provide early feedback during planning and design phases.
• Develop detailed test plans, test strategies, and well‑structured test cases.
• Define test coverage and validate alignment with product requirements.
• Execute comprehensive functional, system, regression, and exploratory tests.
• Identify edge cases, workflow inconsistencies, and usability issues.
• Validate software behavior across web-based and desktop environments.
• Identify, document, and track bugs with clear, reproducible detail.
• Work closely with developers to triage issues and verify fixes.
• Perform thorough manual regression testing before releases.
• Ensure that all critical functionality behaves as expected prior to deployment.
• Work with cross-functional teams in an Agile environment.

Requirements

• Strong professional background in software quality assurance, preferably in senior or lead roles.
• Extensive hands-on experience with manual and exploratory testing.
• Strong knowledge of QA methodologies, tools, and software development processes.
• Expertise in writing clear, detailed test plans and test cases.
• Experience testing web-based (cloud) and desktop applications.
• Familiarity with test management tools such as Jira, Test Rail, or similar.
• Experience working within an Agile development environment.
• Basic familiarity with Git and CI/CD processes (as a tester/consumer, not as an automation developer).
• Experience with performance, stability, or security testing (manual or tool-assisted).
