The Junior-Level Test Engineer position is ideal for a new or recent college graduate with software systems engineering concentration. It is an entry-level position for a person with interest in systems engineering, software engineering, and/or business process engineering. This role is suitable for individuals with a foundational understanding of software testing principles and Agile methodologies, who are eager to gain hands-on experience and further develop their skills in a dynamic team environment. The testing professional is responsible for assisting in the testing process to ensure the quality and reliability of software products. With prior exposure to Agile environments, they contribute to test execution, defect tracking, and collaboration within Agile teams.
To be really successful in the long term, the person should be comfortable coding at an entry level in Python and the desire to expand software development skills.

The work include:
Test Execution: Execute test cases, scenarios, and scripts as per test plans, recording test results, and verifying software functionality against acceptance criteria.
Defect Reporting and Tracking: Identify, document, and prioritize defects found during testing, ensuring accurate and timely reporting to development teams.

Regression Testing Support: Assist in conducting regression testing to validate software changes and ensure that existing functionality remains intact after modifications or enhancements.
Documentation: Maintain test documentation including test cases, test scripts, and test results, ensuring completeness and accuracy for future reference.
Continuous Learning: Engage in self-study, training, and professional development activities to enhance skills and knowledge in software testing principles, test automation, and Agile methodologies.
Test Automation Support: Assist in test automation efforts by contributing to the development and maintenance of automated test scripts, frameworks, and tools under the guidance of senior test engineers.
Exploratory Testing: Conduct exploratory testing sessions to uncover defects and validate software behavior from end-users’ perspectives, contributing to overall testing effectiveness.
