Test Engineer

Company Description

• VITEC solutions deliver easy-to-use technology that ensures high-quality, low-latency HD video, capturing live and recorded events for seamless distribution in a multitude of formats anytime, anywhere, to any device.

Position

This is an exciting opportunity to join a great team of supportive and forward-thinking individuals. You will be working alongside a small team in our modern and well-equipped office in Schwentinental. If you are ready to take the next step in your journey, we would love to hear from you.

We have a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Test Engineer to come and work with us and play a key part in developing our existing and new products, the very latest technology. Collaboration is key, and although some remote working is possible, its key that you will work in the office as you need to be able to access all the various end point equipment on site too, something that can't be done remotely.

This position is available on a part time basis working Monday to Friday for 25 hours per week.

You'll work alongside VITEC developers who keep the IPTV platform in the forefront of streaming video technology. Seamless integration with IP (Internet Protocol) video solutions enables live TV and video to be quickly incorporated into impactful signage screens that engage, inform, and entertain. VITEC's IPTV platforms offer very robust video streaming capability with minimal maintenance costs.

We are an international company, English is our main language, therefore, it is essential you can read, speak, and write technically in English.

About the Role:

As a Test Engineer you'll bring your valuable experience to our established R&D Team. Working within an Agile environment, you will be involved in the testing process from end to end.

Your primary responsibilities will be:

• Test case design, execution & maintenance
• Defect identification, reporting, triage & retesting
• Collaboration within a cross functional development team (working closely with the developers to understand requirements & functionality of the product)
• Test environment management
• Documentation & reporting
• Ability to follow the SDLC processes
• Customer focused testing
• Static & dynamic testing methodologies
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of the QA process

Requirements

About you:

You'll have -

• A background in manual testing
• The ability to work independently
• The ability to create test documentation
• The ability to problem-solve, along with good organisational and analytical skills
• Strong communication & team working skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with cross functional teams
• Always keen to develop, learn and improve
• A good understanding of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) & processes

It's also a desirable to have

• Knowledge of test automation
• Knowledge of non-functional testing

In addition to this, we use Jira, Zephyr Scale & Aha and Testlink so knowledge of these would be an advantage but not essential. It would be desirable to have the ISTQB (International Software Testing Qualifications Board) Foundation qualification, however we will offer this, if you don't have this already.
