• Quality Assurance Tester

    Robert Half Technology (Portland, ME)


    Description

    We’re looking for a Senior Software QA Engineer to lead the charge in designing, developing, and executing software test plans for embedded products. If you love hunting down bugs, automating everything in sight, and making engineers sigh with your extremely thorough reviews, this one’s for you.

     

    What You’ll Do

     

    + Build and execute test plans for new software.

    + Create and maintain manual and automated tests (yes, both — we checked).

    + Track down defects, document them, and make sure they never return. Ever.

    + Help shape internal standards, processes, and test automation frameworks.

    + Keep test environments configured and behaving (mostly) nicely.

    + Review software throughout the dev cycle and ask the important question: “But… can we verify it?”

     

    What You Bring

     

    + Top‑tier collaboration skills — you play well with engineers of all kinds.

    + Excellent technical writing skills for crafting plans others can follow without crying.

    + Strong scripting/programming chops for tests, tools, and reporting.

    + Hands-on experience with embedded software development.

    + Confidence in testing methodologies, metrics, and design/implementation reviews.

    + Ability to read C/C++ without flinching.

     

    Tools You Know

     

    + Version control + defect tracking systems

    + Build systems + CI/CD pipelines

    + Testing tools and frameworks

    + Bonus points for JIRA workflow design and test management.

     

    Your Background

     

    + Bachelor’s degree in CS, Software Engineering, or a related STEM field

    + 3+ years of SQA experience in embedded systems

     

    Requirements • Proven experience in software quality assurance for embedded systems, with a minimum of 3 years.

     

    • Strong programming skills, including scripting for test automation and tool integration.

    • Proficiency in C/C++ and the ability to review software designs for verifiability.

    • Expertise in testing methodologies, quality metrics, and defect tracking systems.

    • Familiarity with building systems and CI/CD pipelines.

    • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
