  • Summarize test results, raise high-quality defect reports, and contribute to Go/No-Go release decisions
  • Assist in incorporating AI-based tools to accelerate test execution or flakiness detection (optional but preferred).
  • Provide mentorship to junior quality engineers and help promote a quality-first mindset across the team.
  • Comply with health and safety guidelines and rules; managers should also ensure compliance across their teams.
  • Protect Chamberlain Group's reputation by keeping information confidential.
  • Maintain professional and technical knowledge by attending educational workshops, reading professional publications, establishing personal networks, and participating in professional societies.
  • Contribute to the team effort by accomplishing related results and participating on projects as needed.

Job Requirements:
  • Bachelor's Degree in Engineering, Computer Science or related field
  • 5-8 years of hands-on experience in software quality engineering, with a minimum of 3 years focused on automation.

  • Cloud platform certifications (AWS, Azure).
  • Exposure to AI-based testing accelerators (e.g., model-based testing, smart selectors).
  • Experience in testing IoT or embedded systems (preferred but not mandatory).
