Junior Software Quality Assurance Engineer to Kollmorgen

We are looking for you, who are newly graduated or in the beginning of your software testing career, that would like to be a part of a global high-tech product company! We have been developing world leading Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) systems for the last 50 years.

About the position
As a junior Software Quality Assurance (SQA) Engineer you will be a part of our Engineering department consisting of employees working with embedded systems, system software as well as windows applications and web services. We work according to Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) and Scrum, and are divided into several agile teams. In this position, you will be one of two SQA Engineers in our Stationary Team, which also consists of Software Engineers and System Architects.

An AGV system is a fleet of mobile robots that automatically transport goods in a network of fixed virtual roads, designed according to the specification of the site, e.g., a warehouse. The Stationary Team works with developing the heart of the AGV system: The System Manager. The System Manager tells the vehicles where to go, how to get there and what they should do when they arrive. It is developed in C# and C++.

What a workday can look like as a junior SQA Engineer

The day begins with going through the tests runs of the night, hopefully most of it is green but sometimes I have to deal with some troubleshooting. Then we have our daily stand up, sharing our progress (or troubles) and trying to keep up with the development of our products and design tests to match what is currently being worked on.

When needed, I jump into the Automated Regression Testing (ART) team's daily stand up to bring up anything with the SQAs outside our team. If not, I check our Jira board to see what is in my pipeline for the day or pick up where I left yesterday. Before lunch I do some problem solving together with my SQA colleague in my team.

After lunch I have a meeting with SQAs from other teams discussing what is done and what is missing regarding our next System release, all our products need to be tested together. After that I get some precious time to fix the issues with our Linux tests and grab a cup of hot chocolate with an espresso shot. I finally fix it and ping my colleague with a message containing my not so well concealed pride and wishes him a good evening and log out.” Tech Stack
The following technologies are used in the team for SQA: Python (which our test framework is based on), Robot Framework, Jenkins, SikuliX, both Linux and Windows, MongoDB (databases), Vsphere (Virtual Machines). JavaScript and Groovy is a smaller part of the tech stack used. A significant part is using Kollmorgen Software when designing and fault tracing tests.

Extra fun elements in this role
- Problem solving is the core of the role
- New things will come across that have not been tried before
- You will get to work with the whole test chain
- Be a part of a big team of experienced colleagues that you will learn from
- Possibility to explore your own ideas that will benefit you and your team
- You will get a good onboarding where you will start in our application team to learn the domain.
