Software Quality Engineer – Manual Testing (Embedded Linux/Android Systems)

Project description

- Role: Software Quality Engineer (Regular level) with a strong focus on manual, component-level testing. - Product: Video Collaboration devices with embedded Android operating system - Core Activity: Validating individual components and subsystems, ensuring high quality, reliability, and usability. - Interaction: Hands-on role combining software validation with real hardware interaction. - Location Requirement: Hybrid model, requires on-site presence in Kraków. Open only to candidates based in Kraków.

Responsibilities

• Key Responsibilities: A. Manual Testing & Component Validation - Execute manual, component-level test cases. - Validate individual software components and subsystems before system-level integration. - Perform: *Regression testing *Exploratory testing *Ad hoc testing - Functional testing (strong focus on component behavior) - Validate hardware-software interactions under real-world conditions. - Verify fixes and perform bug re-testing. B. Test Design & Documentation - Analyze Requirements and technical specifications to define component-level test coverage. - Design, maintain, and execute test scenarios and test cases. - Create and maintain test documentation, test scenarios, and knowledge base pages in Confluence. - Ensure test coverage aligns with product risks, component maturity, and sprint goals. C. Defect Tracking & Collaboration - Identify, report, track, and verify component-level defects using JIRA. - Provide clear reproduction steps, logs, and evidence related to specific components. - Collaborate closely with developers, automation engineers, and product owners during development cycles. D. Technical & Environment Responsibilities - Work daily with Linux/macOS terminal tools (SSH, ADB, logs, system commands). - Perform basic network-related activities (connectivity, configuration, troubleshooting). - Operate in Linux or macOS environments. - Interact directly with physical devices, cameras, and component-level test setups in the lab and local setup. E. Automation Collaboration (Optional) - Cooperate with the automation team by contributing component-focused test ideas and scenarios to Python-based automated test repositories. - Identify component test cases suitable for automation based on manual testing results.
