Job Summary Senior solution quality leadership role | Owning end-to-end solution quality assurance at a pivotal point of platform evolution At SPARK TSL, our mission is simple: making life better, with connections that matter. We build technology solutions that operate in regulated, real-world environments where reliability, security, and quality genuinely matter — not just to customers, but to the people who depend on our systems every day. We’re now looking for a Senior QA Engineer to join us at a critical point in the evolution of our technology platform. We are evolving from a feature-focused development model to a managed solution and AI centric delivery model. As development velocity increases, QA must evolve alongside it. This is not a traditional feature-level testing role. This is a senior position responsible for solution quality across the organisation. If you’re looking for a role where quality has real consequences, where AI and automation are key, and where your judgement genuinely shapes outcomes — this is an opportunity to make your mark.

This role ensures that no solution is deployed, demonstrated, or delivered without structured validation and approval. Our solutions span: Software platforms Physical hardware and peripherals Connectivity and network environments Deployment models and real-world installation constraints These solutions operate in healthcare and industrial environments where reliability, stability, and compliance are critical. Who this role suits This role will suit someone who: Has strong technical credibility across software and hardware testing Understands solution-level validation beyond feature testing Is comfortable acting as an independent quality gate Can challenge constructively and influence senior stakeholders Has experience with automation frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Appium, CI/CD integration) Is interested in AI-assisted testing and modern QA tooling Thrives in high-accountability, cross-functional environments Brings calm judgement and structured decision-making Be primarily on-site in Bristol (minimum 4 days per week).
