Testing (Software) Confluence JIRA Unix MySQL Requirements Traceability Software Requirements Analysis Hardware Testing Backend Bug Reporting

Job description

As a Junior QA Engineer, you’ll work with the QA team to test voting software on voting machines and on consumer-off-the-

shelf (CoTS) hardware. We have many complex integrations to test. You’ll also write documentation - a lot of it: test cases,

confluence articles, and supporting documents for certification. This is NOT a remote position. Four days a week in the

Nashua, NH office is required.

Key Responsibilities

  • Perform manual testing on voting hardware and plan and write test cases in Jira’s Requirements Traceability Matrix

(RTM).

  • Communicate bugs, issues, enhancement requests, and complaints to the rest of the team and document them in Jira.

  • Collaborate with other teams including Engineering, Design, Training, and Services.

  • Perform CoTS hardware testing and configuration.

  • Validate technical documentation to ensure conformance to system requirement specifications and applicable regulations.

  • As part of a small team, creatively fill needs as they are identified.

  • Be available for on-site or remote support to jurisdictions on Election Day.

Requirements

Qualified candidates will have demonstrated the following skills and experience, or the aptitude to develop them:

  • 1-2 years of experience in manual testing.

  • Able to work in-office 4 days per week (this role tests on physical hardware in the QA lab).

  • Solid writing skills, including the ability to document test cases that will be used by third-party organizations.

  • Fluent English communication (written and verbal).

  • Experience writing manual test cases, bug reports, and how-to articles.

  • Passion for finding bugs and tricky edge cases, a problem-solver’s mentality, and a desire to take ownership of product quality.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with Jira.

  • Exposure to testing software within a hardware environment.

  • Experience with Unix platforms, MySQL, and backend logs.
