Join us as a QA Automation Engineer to work on a real laboratory testing environment, contributing both to manual and automated testing for a complete and interconnected ecosystem of products in the pharmaceutical industry.

About the Role

We are looking for a well-rounded QA Automation Engineer who can design and execute manual functional tests as well as create and maintain automated test cases within an existing framework.

You will extend and maintain the test automation suite while handling day-to-day QA activities such as regression, integration, smoke testing, and bug verification. This role is ideal for someone with strong test design skills, attention to detail, and solid QA execution experience.
