Software QualityTesting Analyst

The Software Quality/Testing Analyst role is responsible for assisting in identifying analyzing and reporting defects in software applications/products. The objective of this role is to ensure that the software application/product functions as intended meets business requirements and is reliable for end-users. This role is critical to the success of the software testing process as it requires supporting manual tests that ensure software applications and products are functioning properly. The individual collaborates with senior team members and cross functional teams to understand requirements and assist in developing a test plan that covers functionality usability performance compatibility security and other aspects of software. The incumbent supports the communication of results to relevant stakeholders to ensure timely and quality releases. Ultimately the incumbent will assist in the thorough testing of software applications/products manually/ before release to ensure compliance with the users requirements and will support the identification of potential defects that could affect user experience or software efficiency.

Key Functions and Responsibilities:

1. Software Quality Assurance (Primary Responsibility)

• Understand the software application specifications requirements and user stories.
• Develop and execute detailed test plans test cases test scripts and regression cycles for FDE ONE.
• Perform functional UI/UX workflow integration and performance testing across modules.
• Validate calculation engines related to DFT/WFT loading curves fire rating logic and product selection.
• Conduct API testing for estimation and data processing services.
• Maintain structured test documentation and ensure traceability from requirements to test results.
• Own defect lifecycle: identification logging priori za on retes ng closure.

2. Data Import & Engineering Data Validation

• Validate the correctness of lab-generated PFP product data including:
• Boundary conditions
• Fire test parameters Performance datasets
• Ensure clean accurate and complete ingestion of datasets into FDE ONEs backend.
• Identify anomalies missing data and inconsistencies using rules scripts and domain knowledge.
• Collaborate with the lab team to resolve discrepancies.

3. Data Analytics & AI Output Validation

• Validate dashboards KPIs and analytical summaries provided within FDE ONE.
• Verify AI-driven recommendations (e.g. thickness optimization product substitution workload reduction suggestions).
• Ensure accuracy of predictive modeling outputs and optimization logic.
• Track analytics trends to improve estimation processes and data governance.

4. Domain Logic Testing (Civil/Mechanical/PFP) Not mandatory; basic engineering or technical understanding preferred

• Understand and verify PFP principles used in software:
• Beam column and vessel fire protection design
• Hydrocarbon and cellulosic fire curves
• Thickness calculations and interpolation
• Substrate configuration logic
• Validate formulas rule-based outcomes and engineering workflows.
• Serve as a quality gatekeeper for PFP logic in all software releases.

5. Collaboration & Product Quality Governance

• Work closely with developers UI/UX designers product owners and FEET engineers.
• Participate in sprint planning backlog grooming and release readiness reviews.
• Build internal quality standards for FDE ONE.
• Support user acceptance testing (UAT) globally.
• Conduct analysis of application enhancements under senior guidance and suggest improvements.
• Participate in ongoing learning attend relevant workshops or training and share industry trends best practices and emerging technologies knowledge with the team.

Bachelors degree in computer science Civil Engineering Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field.

ISTQB Foundation or any software testing certification (optional).
