Software Quality Assurance Engineer

The Role 

At ONYX Insight, we’re building the future of wind turbine monitoring and maintenance optimization with our cutting-edge software solutions. As a QA Engineer, you’ll be at the heart of this mission, ensuring that our technology meets the highest standards of quality, reliability, and security. You’ll work closely with our development teams, ensuring that everything we build is tested to perfection, and contribute directly to a product that’s transforming the renewable energy sector. 

This isn’t just about finding bugs – it’s about being a critical part of the development lifecycle, collaborating with the best minds in engineering and software development, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in testing automation. If you’re passionate about technology, love solving complex problems, and want to help shape the future of the wind energy industry, we want to hear from you! 

What you’ll do 

• Innovate Testing Processes: Help design and implement a robust, balanced testing strategy that incorporates automation, security testing, and detailed documentation. Your work will elevate our entire software testing process. 

• Automate Like a Pro: You’ll have the opportunity to drive the evolution of our test automation framework, helping to increase test coverage and reduce manual testing efforts. 

• Work Smarter, Not Harder: Collaborate with product owners, developers, and the rest of our team to catch defects early in the development lifecycle. Your input will guide teams toward building software that’s as efficient as it is reliable. 

• Get Hands-On with Testing: Conduct manual testing to catch any issues before they become problems. You’ll ensure defects are documented and resolved in time for every release. 

• Be Part of the Team: Plan and run user acceptance tests with key stakeholders. Your involvement will be vital in validating features and functionality before they’re deployed to customers. 

• Collaborate Across Teams: Partner with the DevOps team to establish re-deployable, reliable test environments that will be essential for troubleshooting issues and maintaining customer satisfaction. 

• Root Cause Analysis: When issues do arise, you’ll be on the case, conducting root cause analysis, and recommending ways to fix, test, and prevent similar issues in the future. Your work will help refine our entire testing process. 

• Master Our Systems: Develop a deep understanding of our systems and how they work, ensuring your testing is thorough and comprehensive. 

• Stay Agile: You’ll be an active participant in our agile processes, attending stand-ups, sprint planning, and retrospectives, helping the team continuously improve our workflows. 

Ideally you’ll have/be:

• Experience: At least three years of experience in QA and testing within an agile development environment. You’ve been through multiple product cycles and know what it takes to deliver quality at scale. 

• Cloud Testing: Experience testing cloud-hosted systems, particularly back-end services and REST APIs. Familiarity with AWS is a big plus. 

• Automation Skills: You’re experienced with test automation frameworks and have written code in tools like Playwright and Appium. You know how to scale automation and take testing to the next level. 

• SQL Proficiency: Comfortable reading code and writing SQL queries to validate data and troubleshoot issues. 

• Analytical Mindset: You’re a critical thinker with a keen eye for detail. You know how to ask the right questions to uncover hidden issues before they become a problem. 

• Security Savvy: Ideally, you have knowledge of OWASP Top 10, SANS 25, and other security best practices. 

• Collaboration: You thrive in a collaborative environment, working seamlessly with developers, product owners, and the wider QA team to ensure everything is thoroughly tested and documented. 

• Tools: Experience using JIRA for issue tracking and project management is essential. 

• Passion for Software Engineering: You don’t just test – you’re genuinely excited about technology and enjoy contributing to the development of innovative software solutions.
