Senior Software Test Engineer
I am seeking a highly skilled Software Test Engineer to join a collaborative Agile team working on mission-critical embedded communication systems. These products are used by professionals across the globe in environments where reliability, performance, and accuracy are non-negotiable.
If you’re a hands-on tester who loves digging into complex systems, uncovering edge cases, and championing quality from sprint planning through to release, this role will feel right at home.
You’ll be embedded within a Scrum software team and your focus will be ensuring that new features behave exactly as intended, meet customer expectations, and maintain the highest levels of reliability.
You’ll play a key role throughout the sprint lifecycle — from analysing requirements and designing robust test cases, through to exploratory testing, defect investigation, and automation of high-value checks to keep regression cycles lean and efficient.
What You’ll Be Doing Day to Day
1. Working as part of a cross-functional Scrum team, verifying new features and changes each sprint
2. Reviewing user stories, acceptance criteria, and specifications to ensure they’re clear, complete, and testable
3. Designing and executing clear, traceable functional test cases across embedded devices, software components, and APIs
4. Performing exploratory testing to uncover unexpected behaviours, usability issues, and edge cases
Collaboration & Agile Responsibilities
5. Active participation in sprint planning, backlog refinement, daily stand-ups, reviews, and retrospectives
6. Close collaboration with developers to reproduce and diagnose complex issues
7. Working with Product Owners to ensure acceptance criteria are robust and testable
8. Providing transparent updates on test progress, risks, blockers, and release readiness
9. Taking ownership of the team’s test strategy, continuously strengthening the quality net
What You’ll Need to Succeed Qualifications
10. Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electronics, Telecommunications, or a related field
11. ISTQB certification (preferred, not essential)
12. Full clean driving licence and own car (some travel required; expenses paid)
13. Willingness to undergo Security Clearance in the future if required
Must-Have Experience
14. Experience testing complex or embedded systems (telecoms, networking, radio, IoT, devices, etc.)
15. Proven ability to design test cases using structured techniques (boundary, equivalence, state-based, risk-based)
16. Experience analysing logs from embedded systems, Linux environments, or firmware
17. Strong defect reporting skills with clear reproduction steps and evidence
18. Test automation experience using tools such as Selenium, Robot Framework, Appium, with scripting in Python
