QA Engineer

We are looking for a QA Engineer to join our Cambridge‑based CAD / PLM engineering team, contributing to the quality and reliability of complex, cloud‑enabled product development platforms. 

This role sits within a modern SaaS-oriented PLM environment, where CAD and PLM capabilities are delivered through scalable backend services, rich web-based user interfaces, and cloud‑native infrastructure. You will work closely with full‑stack engineers, frontend developers, and DevOps teams to ensure high quality across the entire solution. 

Quality is treated as a shared responsibility, and this role is embedded directly within agile development teams. 

What You’ll Do 

• Design, execute, and maintain manual and automated tests for CAD / PLM web applications 

• Validate functionality across frontend UI, backend services, APIs, and data layers 

• Test complex workflows typical of CAD / PLM domains (configuration, data integrity, performance, integration points) 

• Contribute to and extend test automation frameworks (UI and API level) 

• Collaborate closely with engineers working in TypeScript and Node.js (NestJS / Express) 

• Test frontend applications built with Angular and modern UI patterns 

• Validate backend logic using ORMs such as TypeORM, Prisma, or equivalent, and SQL databases 

• Support testing in cloud‑native and containerized environments, including Kubernetes 

• Participate in CI/CD pipelines, ensuring tests are executed as part of build and deployment processes 

• Perform regression, integration, exploratory, and acceptance testing 

• Actively participate in defect triage, root cause analysis, and quality improvement discussions 

Required Qualifications 

• Experience as a QA Engineer / Software Test Engineer in a complex software environment 

• Hands‑on experience testing web‑based SaaS platforms 

• Strong experience with test automation (UI and/or API) 

• Working knowledge of JavaScript / TypeScript 

• Experience testing Node.js backend services (NestJS, Express, or similar frameworks) 

• Familiarity with frontend frameworks, especially Angular 

• Experience testing systems using ORMs (TypeORM, Prisma, or similar) and SQL-based databases 

• Understanding of Agile / Scrum development methodologies 

• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and communication skills 

Nice to Have 

• Experience testing CAD, PLM, or engineering software platforms 

• Exposure to Kubernetes or containerized systems 

• Experience working in DevOps‑leaning environments 

• API testing experience (REST, JSON, OpenAPI) 

• Experience with cloud‑hosted, scalable SaaS architectures 

Why This Role 

• Work on enterprise‑grade CAD / PLM platforms with real technical complexity 

• Be part of a Cambridge-based R&D organization with strong engineering culture 

• Collaborate closely with full‑stack, frontend, and DevOps engineers 

• Influence product quality early in the development lifecycle 

• Clear growth paths toward Senior QA Engineer / Quality Engineer roles
