• Performance Management: Actively support the development of our Engineers in their technical careers.

Your skills and experience

• Advanced Technical Skills: Strong understanding of the QA process, knowledge in defining, implementing test designs and broad experience across test levels, with a deep understanding of engineering principles and best practice.

• Problem-Solving: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to troubleshoot complex issues.
• Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to convey technical information clearly and effectively. High levels of emotional intelligence to connect with and develop our engineering talent pool.
• Project Management: Proven experience in managing and leading engineering projects from conception to completion. Strong business skills to drive value for our clients while maintaining sustainable profitability.
