As a Senior Quality Assurance engineer you will play a crucial role in ensuring the reliability of our Reality DTx® software solution.

You will be an integral part of our team, dedicated to delivering a reliable, dependable tool that physiotherapists trust and rely on to make a difference in their patients' lives every day.

You will work closely with the engineering team, design and quality & regulatory to identify and resolve software defects, improve product performance, and enhance the overall user experience. You will also have opportunity to design and implement unit tests and automated functional tests across all software components we develop.

As a dedicated QA within our organisation, you will need to take ownership in all phases in the SFTLC across the three distinct components that make up our Reality DTx® solution; the client application running on wearable Augmented Reality (AR) glasses, the web portal and the API glue that sits between them.

You will be expected to assist the QA Lead develop the existing QA strategy by recommending and driving improvements to existing processes and tools.

Our AR solution is used in a physical space, and therefore requires a controlled physical environment for testing. The role will be hybrid, with a portion of your time working onsite in our dedicated test space, with the remainder from home. You will need to be able travel to the company HQ in Stafford, West Midlands approximately 2 days per week.
