System Tester

System Tester

Job Description

As a System Tester, you will ensure the reliability, safety, and compliance of new systems through rigorous testing in both lab and real-world environments. Responsibilities include designing and executing test plans, simulating operational scenarios, and documenting results to confirm adherence to industrial standards and customer requirements. You will collaborate with developers, product owners, and project leads throughout the software development lifecycle, providing insights that improve quality and performance. This role emphasizes forward deployment engineering—working directly with customer teams during pilots and rollouts, adapting test strategies to operational realities, and delivering rapid feedback to product development. Your efforts will bridge R&D and deployment, ensuring every release is robust, scalable, and production-ready.

You’ll make an impact by:
Develop and execute comprehensive test plans for new systems, including functional, integration, and performance testing.
Validate system behavior in simulated and live environments, ensuring compliance with safety and regulatory standards.
Automate test workflows where possible to improve efficiency and repeatability.
Collaborate with developers, architects, and deployment teams to identify and resolve issues quickly.
Document test results, compliance reports, and best practices for future deployments.
Support rapid iteration during customer pilots by adapting test cases to real-world constraints.

You’ll win us over by having the following qualifications:

Basic Qualifications:
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
Experience in system testing, validation, and quality assurance within industrial or automation environments.
Familiarity with test automation tools, scripting languages, and CI/CD pipelines.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail.
Ability to work in cross-functional teams and adapt testing strategies to evolving requirements.
Great teamwork and proactive work ethic

Preferred Qualifications:
Experience with forward deployment engineering: embedding with customer teams, validating systems in live environments, and iterating test strategies based on field feedback.
Knowledge of industrial automation systems, OT/IT integration, and compliance frameworks.
Familiarity with cybersecurity standards and safety-critical testing.
Willingness to travel or co-locate with customer teams during critical deployment phases.
Demonstrated ability to bridge the gap between lab validation and real-world deployment for scalable, reliable adoption.
