Quality Assurance Engineer

Job Summary

Flight Management is a mission-critical airline operations solution that supports the preparation of every flight before departure. Our products enable airlines to optimize aircraft loading, calculate aircraft weight and balance, generate regulatory-compliant load sheets, manage operational changes, and ensure flights depart safely, efficiently, and on time. These solutions operate within a complex ecosystem of interconnected products, services, operational processes, and external integrations where reliability, accuracy, and compliance are critical.

You will work within Agile product teams, collaborating with Product Managers, Business Analysts, Architects, Engineers, domain experts, and airline customers. Your mission will be to ensure product quality through effective validation strategies, robust automation, and continuous quality improvements across the product lifecycle.

The role requires strong quality engineering and test automation expertise, technical understanding, and the ability to validate complex workflows spanning multiple systems, integrations, and operational domains. You will play a key role in implementing and evolving automated testing capabilities, improving regression coverage, increasing delivery efficiency, and promoting quality engineering best practices across the Flight Management portfolio.

Key Responsibilities

• Analyse requirements, specifications, and workflows to define test approaches and quality coverage.
• Design, implement, and maintain automated test solutions to improve quality, regression coverage, and delivery efficiency.
• Execute functional, integration, end-to-end, regression, and exploratory testing activities.
• Validate business workflows, system interactions, integrations, APIs, and data flows across interconnected products and services.
• Collaborate with Product Managers, Business Analysts, Architects, Engineers, and domain experts to ensure solutions are testable and meet quality expectations.
• Support continuous integration and delivery practices through automated testing and quality validation.
• Investigate defects, perform root cause analysis, and support issue resolution.
• Produce and maintain test artefacts, including test plans, test cases, automation assets, and quality reports.
• Identify opportunities to improve product quality, test effectiveness, automation maturity, and engineering practices.
• Leverage AI-assisted tools to improve testing, automation development, troubleshooting, analysis, and documentation activities.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field.
• At least 3 years of experience in Quality Assurance, Software Testing, Quality Engineering, or a similar role.
• Proven experience implementing and maintaining automated testing solutions.
• Experience working within Agile product development environments.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to understand and validate complex operational scenarios.
• Strong quality engineering mindset focused on quality built-in, automation, maintainability, and scalable testing practices.
• Experience designing and developing automated tests for enterprise software products.
• Understanding of APIs, integrations, system interactions, data models, and distributed applications.
• Experience working with complex, interconnected systems and cross-product workflows.
• Experience integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong written communication and documentation skills with attention to detail and accuracy.
• Ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and perform effectively in a fast-paced, multicultural environment.
• Comfortable utilizing modern AI-assisted tools to enhance productivity, test design, automation development, investigation, and documentation.
• Experience leveraging AI-assisted tools to improve test design, test automation, quality analysis, defect investigation, and delivery effectiveness. Awareness of AI-Driven Software Development Life Cycle (AI-DLC) practices is an advantage.

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with airline or airport operations, including flight operations, aircraft weight and balance, load control, baggage handling, or ramp operations.
• Experience working with mission-critical, safety-critical, or highly regulated systems.
• Experience with automation frameworks such as Playwright, Selenium, Robot Framework, Cypress, Karate, Appium, or equivalent technologies.
• Experience with API testing tools such as Postman, SOAP UI, or equivalent.
• Experience with CI/CD and DevOps tools such as Jenkins and GitHub.
• Experience with JSON, SQL, log analysis, troubleshooting, Kafka, Grafana, or operational investigations.
• Experience with non-functional testing, including performance, reliability, resilience, or security testing.
• Experience with programming or scripting languages such as Python, Java, or similar.
• ISTQB or equivalent testing certification.
• Experience validating software solutions that incorporate AI-powered capabilities, decision support, automation, conversational experiences, or agentic workflows.

This role is suited to individuals who enjoy working at the intersection of business, operations, and technology, translating complex operational requirements into clear, scalable, and reliable solutions that support critical airline operations.
