Quality Assurance Engineer II

Amtech is seeking a QA Engineer II who can independently own quality for assigned user stories and small product features from requirement review through release validation.

The QA Engineer II will design and execute comprehensive manual and automated tests, maintain Playwright automation coverage, identify quality risks early, and provide evidence-based release-readiness recommendations. The role requires hands-on experience with Agile delivery, API and database testing, automation development, and the responsible use of AI-assisted testing tools.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own testing activities for assigned user stories and small features throughout the software development lifecycle.
• Review requirements and acceptance criteria for clarity, completeness, testability, dependencies, and potential quality risks.
• Design and execute risk-based tests covering functional, regression, integration, exploratory, negative, boundary, usability, and compatibility scenarios.
• Develop, maintain, debug, and execute Playwright automated tests using JavaScript or TypeScript.
• Apply maintainable automation practices, including reusable functions, fixtures, page objects, test-data management, and reliable assertions.
• Perform UI, API, database, and end-to-end testing for assigned functionality.
• Maintain regression suites, test data, test documentation, and traceability between requirements and test coverage.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and investigate failed automated test runs.
• Distinguish between application defects, test-data issues, environment failures, and automation defects.
• Report clear and reproducible defects and participate actively in defect triage.
• Validate fixes and provide evidence-based input on release readiness.
• Use AI-assisted tools to support test design, test-data generation, automation development, defect analysis, and test-result summarization.
• Independently verify the accuracy, relevance, security, and completeness of AI-generated output.
• Participate actively in sprint planning, estimation, refinement, daily stand-ups, reviews, and retrospectives.
• Collaborate with product owners, developers, and business analysts to resolve requirement gaps and improve testability.
• Identify repeatable manual tests that are suitable for automation.
• Mentor Associate QA Engineers on test execution, defect reporting, documentation, and automation practices.
• Proactively communicate risks, dependencies, blockers, and changes in testing scope.

SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, Information Technology, Engineering, or related discipline, or equivalent experience.
• Typically, 1–3 years of software quality assurance or quality engineering experience.
• Strong manual testing, exploratory testing, and test-design capabilities.
• Hands-on experience with Playwright or a comparable web automation framework.
• Working proficiency in JavaScript or TypeScript.
• Experience in testing web applications, APIs, databases, and integrated systems.
• Knowledge of tools such as Postman, Swagger, or REST API clients.
• Familiarity with SQL and database validation.
• Familiarity with Git, pull-request workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and automated test execution.
• Practical experience working in Agile and Scrum delivery teams.
• Experience with Jira, or comparable test and defect-management platforms.
• Practical exposure to AI-assisted test generation, data generation, defect analysis, or automation support.
