Job Description: We are seeking a Quality Engineer to ensure the quality, reliability, and usability of our Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system. In this role, you’ll validate user interfaces, integrations, customizations, and reports to ensure every feature functions seamlessly within the larger product development ecosystem. You’ll be a problem solver who refines test cases on the fly and helps shape stronger processes and better outcomes.

Working closely with product owners, developers, and business analysts, you’ll ensure the PLM platform delivers measurable business value and supports full end‑to‑end lifecycle operations. A deep understanding of product development and business workflows and how system functionality ties into real‑world PLM processes will make you stand out.

• User Interface (UI) Testing – design, execute, and refine test cases for PLM system UI components.
• Conduct usability, accessibility, and cross‑browser/device testing.
• Collaborate with UI/UX configurators, product owners, and developers to resolve usability issues.
• Test and validate integrations between PLM and enterprise platforms (ERP, Design Tools, Merchandising Tools, CRM, DAM, Reporting Tools, etc.).
• Ensure data, workflows, and automation align with the full PLM process supporting traceability from concept to release.
• Validate integration logic for change control, configuration management, and release workflows.
• Conduct API and middleware validation, regression testing, and troubleshooting.
• Test system customizations, business rules, workflows, and lifecycle configurations.
• Verify new configurations integrate smoothly without disrupting baseline functionality.
• Provide feedback on scalability, maintainability, and long‑term quality of system enhancements.
• Validate accuracy and performance of PLM‑generated reports and dashboards.
• Cross‑check data outputs with backend sources to ensure business logic consistency.
• Test access controls, data security, and performance of reporting features.
• Participate in sprint planning, backlog grooming, and requirements reviews.
• Execute manual and automated test cases, improving them dynamically based on insights.
• Identify root causes of defects and recommend both tactical fixes and strategic process improvements.
• Maintain detailed, actionable defect reports in Jira or similar tools.
• Contribute to QA maturity by advancing testing standards, automation coverage, and traceability practices.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 3+ years of experience in software testing or quality engineering (enterprise‑scale systems preferred).
• Strong understanding of QA methodologies, SDLC, and Agile/Scrum practices.
• Hands‑on experience testing web applications, APIs, and integrated platforms.
• Proficiency in test automation frameworks and SQL/No
  
  SQL data validation.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving abilities, with adaptability to improve test design during execution.

• Experience with PLM systems such as Siemens Teamcenter, PTC Windchill, Centric PLM, Dassault ENOVIA, or Autodesk Fusion Lifecycle.
• Understanding of end‑to‑end PLM processes (change management, BOM management, quality management, sustainability, document control, etc.).
• Familiarity with enterprise integrations involving ERP, CAD, CRM, or MES systems.
• Knowledge of CI/CD practices and QA automation within Dev Ops environments.
• Background in engineering, manufacturing, or product development is a strong plus.
