Functional Test Engineer

About the Role

As a Functional Test Engineer, you will work closely with the QA Manager to ensure the A-SCEND product meets all documented acceptance criteria and is free of defects prior to deployment. In this role, you will be a hands-on contributor—building and executing test plans, creating and maintaining test cases, and documenting clear, actionable results.

You will collaborate closely with the product team to fully understand user stories, acceptance criteria, and business expectations. In addition to manual testing, you will leverage low-code/no-code automated testing tools to design, execute, and maintain automated test scenarios that increase test coverage and improve overall efficiency. This includes creating automated workflows, regression test suites, and reusable test components that help accelerate release cycles and support continuous quality improvement.
