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

• 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.

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.
