About The Role & Team
As an Associate Software Developer within the Technology and Engineering Borders department, you will help ensure the quality, reliability, and operational readiness of hardware-integrated software products. You will test complete product workflows across software, devices, and supporting infrastructure, investigate defects, and collaborate with development, product, and delivery teams to improve product quality.
This is an Associate Software Developer role suited to a candidate with approximately 1 to 2 years of relevant software testing and automation experience. Due to the hands-on nature of the product and access to specialist hardware and test environments, the role requires working from the office five days per week. Occasional travel to other offices, laboratories, customer sites, or deployment locations may also be required.
What You’ll Do
- Create, maintain, execute, and review functionality, integration, system, regression, and hardware software test cases.
- Validate end-to-end product workflows involving embedded systems, biometric or peripheral devices, gates, kiosks, monitoring applications, and backend services.
- Develop and maintain automated test frameworks and test suites using AI-driven automation techniques to improve test coverage, efficiency, and quality.
- Use AI tools to accelerate test design, test data preparation, defect analysis, automation development, and regression coverage.
- Perform hardware validation, compatibility testing, performance testing, stress testing, and failure diagnostics.
- Investigate defects using application logs, device logs, database evidence, network traces, and debugging tools; document clear reproduction steps and supporting evidence.
- Work closely with developers and other engineers to isolate and resolve software, hardware, configuration, and environment issues.
- Contribute to test planning, estimation, traceability, quality reporting, and release-readiness activities within an Agile delivery model.
- Maintain test assets, product documentation, troubleshooting guidance, and lessons learned.
- Support demonstrations, deployments, and product validation activities when required, including occasional travel.
