QA Engineer

Breaking stuff — before our customers do.

Our software helps operators track satellites, schedule antennas, send commands, and manage spacecraft in orbit. Quality at Quindar means more than checking whether a button works. It means understanding how customers operate missions, finding the unexpected ways workflows can fail, and making sure our software behaves predictably when it matters.

You should be comfortable digging into complex software to understand how different parts of the system interact — whether that means testing an API, inspecting logs, validating data, reproducing an intermittent issue, or walking through an end-to-end mission workflow. We expect you to use AI tools and agents to accelerate investigations and automate repetitive validation while still bringing the curiosity and judgment that great QA requires.

Own functional, integration, and exploratory testing for new features and evolving product workflows, while contributing to regression coverage for existing functionality

Develop and maintain clear test plans, test cases, and regression suites based on product requirements and real customer workflows

Test mission-critical workflows including contact planning, collision avoidance, task automation, and incident management

Identify, reproduce, document, and track defects through resolution

Test APIs and backend workflows in addition to user-facing functionality

Embed closely with product managers and engineers throughout feature development to understand intended behavior, identify edge cases and ambiguous requirements early, and shape the testing approach before features are ready to ship

Use logs, observability tools, browser developer tools, and other technical resources to investigate unexpected behavior

Use automation and AI-assisted tools where they improve testing depth, repeatability, or efficiency without losing the judgment that comes from thoughtful testing
