Functional Qa Engineer

 

Description:

 We are seeking an experienced Senior Functional QA Engineer to join our team. This role focuses on manual, exploratory, and structured functional testing across software and hardware-integrated systems. The ideal candidate brings deep knowledge of test design, defect management, and quality processes — with experience in FinTech, banking, or Point-of-Sale (POS) environments preferred.

 

Work Timings: 3 pm to 11 pm.

 

Key Responsibilities

Test Planning & Design

•      Design comprehensive test plans, test cases, and test scenarios based on business and functional requirements

•      Define test scope, entry/exit criteria, and coverage strategies for each release cycle

•      Develop and maintain structured test documentation, including test plans, test cases, and test summary reports

Functional & Integration Testing

•      Execute manual functional, integration, and end-to-end test cases across web, desktop, and POS applications

•      Validate system behavior across different hardware configurations, device types, and operating environments

•      Test hardware-software integration points to ensure consistent and reliable system performance

•      Perform exploratory testing to uncover edge cases and usability issues beyond scripted scenarios

Regression & Release Testing

•      Execute regression test suites to verify that new code changes do not impact existing functionality

•      Support UAT (User Acceptance Testing) cycles by coordinating test activities with business stakeholders

•      Participate in release readiness reviews and sign-off processes

Defect Management

•      Identify, document, and track defects through the full resolution lifecycle using JIRA or equivalent tools

•      Reproduce, isolate, and clearly communicate bugs to developers with detailed steps and supporting evidence

•      Verify bug fixes and perform post-fix regression to confirm resolution

Collaboration & Quality Advocacy

•      Participate in requirements analysis and sprint planning to assess testability and flag quality risks early

•      Work closely with product managers, developers, and hardware engineers to understand system dependencies

•      Raise quality concerns proactively and contribute to continuous process improvement initiatives

Requirements

•      Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field

•      3+ years of experience in software quality assurance with a strong focus on manual and functional testing

•      Proven ability to design detailed test cases and test plans from functional and business requirements

•      Experience testing APIs at a functional level using tools such as Postman — verifying request/response behavior, status codes, and data integrity (automation not required)

•      Solid understanding of the relationship between hardware and software in integrated systems, such as POS or payment terminals

•      Hands-on experience with defect tracking and test management tools

•      Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and clear written and verbal communication skills
