Our Employee Value Proposition

Role Description

Amtech is seeking a technically accomplished Senior QA Engineer to lead quality engineering for complex projects, major product capabilities, architectural changes, and cross-functional initiatives.

The Senior QA Engineer will define comprehensive test strategies, design scalable Playwright automation solutions, establish CI/CD quality controls, and make independent release-readiness recommendations. This role requires deep expertise in manual testing, test automation, API and database validation, distributed-system testing, performance and load testing, cloud-based applications, observability, and production-quality risk management.

The Senior QA Engineer will also evaluate AI-enabled product functionality and improve the use of AI-assisted techniques across the testing lifecycle.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Quality Strategy and Testing

• Own quality strategy, risk assessment, test coverage, and release readiness for complex projects and epics.

• Lead requirement, solution, and design reviews to identify quality and testability risks.

• Define risk-based coverage across manual, exploratory, API, database, integration, migration, performance, resilience, and end-to-end testing.

• Provide evidence-based release recommendations and clearly communicate residual risks.

Automation and Technical Engineering

• Design and enhance scalable Playwright automation using JavaScript or TypeScript.

• Build reusable framework components, fixtures, test data utilities, API automation, and reporting capabilities.

• Review automation code and improve reliability, maintainability, execution speed, and test stability.

• Integrate automated suites into CI/CD pipelines and define appropriate quality gates.

Performance and Non-Functional Testing

• Plan and execute load, stress, spike, endurance, scalability, and capacity testing.

• Develop performance tests using JMeter, k6, Gatling, Locust, or equivalent tools.

• Define realistic workloads and measurable performance acceptance criteria.

• Analyze response time, throughput, error rates, logs, database behavior, and infrastructure metrics to identify bottlenecks.

• Contribute to resilience, failover, recovery, compatibility, accessibility, and security testing.

Quality Improvement and Leadership

• Lead root-cause analysis for escaped defects, recurring failures, automation instability, and performance regressions.

• Drive corrective actions that reduce defect leakage, regression time, and maintenance effort.

• Track quality metrics including defect trends, automation stability, performance, and release confidence.

• Use approved AI tools for test design, automation, test data generation, and defect analysis.

• Validate AI-enabled functionality for accuracy, reliability, consistency, and failure handling.

• Mentor Quality Engineers and represent Quality Engineering in architecture, design, and release-readiness forums.

SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent experience.

• Typically, 5–9 years of progressive software Quality Engineering experience.

• Strong expertise in manual, exploratory, API, database, integration, regression, and end-to-end testing.

• Advanced hands-on experience with Playwright and JavaScript or TypeScript.

• Experience designing or enhancing automation frameworks and integrating them with CI/CD pipelines.

• Strong knowledge of REST APIs, SQL, Git, code reviews, and distributed system testing.

• Hands-on experience with performance and load-testing tools such as JMeter, k6, Gatling, or Locust.

• Experience analyzing logs, response times, throughput, error rates, and infrastructure metrics.

• Familiarity with cloud platforms, containers, and observability tools is preferred.

• Strong understanding of Agile, Scrum, risk-based testing, defect leakage, RCA, and release management.

• Experience with AI-assisted testing and validation of AI-enabled functionality.

• Strong technical judgment, mentoring, communication, and stakeholder-influence skills.
