Manual Tester

Detailed Job Description:

Roles and Responsibilities:

- Develop and maintain comprehensive test cases, ensuring thorough coverage of software features.

- Execute test procedures and automated suites, collaborating with automation developers.

- Translate business requirements into test strategies and traceable activities.

- Collaborate with Product Owners and development teams to create Test Plans.

- Contribute ideas for applying Generative AI tools to improve testing efficiency and test case design.

- Foster strong cross-functional collaboration with QA, DevOps, and development teams.

- Adhere to Agile processes and QA best practices for high-quality releases.

- Conduct testing activities such as Acceptance, Regression, Functional, Integration and Performance testing.

- Perform problem identification, root cause analysis, and resolution documentation with trace-level logs.

- Identify testing dependencies and risks, planning end-to-end system cycles.

- Engage in design discussions to offer insights on testability and quality.

Required:

- Bachelor's degree in engineering (Computer Science, Systems, Electrical or similar) with exposure to IT / Programming topics.

- 5 years of manual testing experience.

- Hands-on experience manually testing a physical embedded device end-to-end, with substantial (not incidental) time spent on hardware — not purely software/UI/API testing at a desk. Comfortable with physical setup, cabling, power, and verifying real hardware behavior (not just reading logs or clicking through a UI).

- Experience with a test-case management system (e.g., TestRay, Zephyr, TestRail, Xray, or similar).

Preferred / Desired:

- Experience with embedded Linux devices specifically (Yocto, Fedora, or similar) rather than Windows/RTOS/bare-metal hardware.

- Experience validating a device through both a desktop application and a browser-based interface, not just one.

- Prior exposure to cameras, scanners, sensors, or similar vision/imaging hardware.

- Familiarity with test automation frameworks.

- Proficiency in Python.

- Hands-on experience with Linux, GitHub, or Git repositories.

Key Skills and Competencies:

- Ability to independently determine technical solutions for tasks.

- Strong analytical skills for designing test cases based on user stories.

- Proficient in manual and automated testing methodologies.

- Understanding of the software development lifecycle and Agile practices.

- Experience with various testing types and globally distributed teams.

- Effective collaboration with cross-functional teams.

- Problem-solving skills for accurate root cause analysis and resolution.

- Strong communication skills to update stakeholders on testing progress.

- Quick feedback capability during testing to support agile development.

- Self-motivated with a commitment to continuous improvement.

- System architecture understanding for integrating testing activities.

- Curiosity and technical mindset for exploring new AI technologies to improve testing processes
