QA Engineer - Embedded Systems & Mining Technology

An excellent opportunity exists for a technically strong QA Engineer to join a growing Australian mining technology company developing sophisticated software solutions used by mining and heavy industrial operations around the world.

The company is part of a global OEM and technology provider specialising in mining and construction equipment, providing the backing and international reach of a major global organisation while retaining the innovative, collaborative culture of an Australian technology company.

Its integrated mining operational technology connects onboard systems installed on mobile mining equipment with offboard applications, web platforms and cloud services. These solutions provide real-time operational data, helping mining companies improve productivity, operational efficiency and decision-making.

This is a predominantly hands-on QA engineering role, with a particular focus on testing complex onboard embedded systems, software logic, algorithms and interactions between interconnected technologies.

Approximately two-thirds of the technical testing focus will be on onboard embedded systems, with the remainder covering offboard applications, web interfaces, APIs and cloud services.

You will personally undertake software testing, develop and maintain automated tests, improve existing test systems and coordinate testing activities with software engineering teams.

We are particularly interested in candidates who enjoy understanding how complex systems work, investigating difficult technical problems and developing practical, reliable testing solutions.

The Role

Working closely with the Engineering Manager, Software Engineering Team Leads,



developers and product stakeholders, your responsibilities will include:

- Undertake hands-on functional, exploratory, integration, regression and system testing across complex software products, with a particular emphasis on onboard embedded systems.
- Analyse software behaviour, business logic, algorithms, interfaces and interactions between interconnected systems to identify defects, edge cases and potential operational risks.
- Develop, maintain and improve automated testing systems, frameworks, scripts and reusable regression suites.
- Personally develop and maintain Playwright-based automated tests for web applications and related interfaces, building on existing automation capabilities.
- Use SQL, Python and Linux shell scripting for test-data preparation, validation, simulation, automation and troubleshooting.
- Test software operating in real-world mining environments, including intermittent connectivity, networking issues, hardware interfaces and challenging operating conditions.
- Plan and coordinate in-sprint, integration, regression, system and release testing in collaboration with software engineers.
- Review requirements, user stories and acceptance criteria to identify missing scenarios, assumptions and quality risks.
- Test integration between onboard embedded systems,



offboard applications, web interfaces, APIs, databases and cloud services.
- Evaluate web application functionality, usability and end-to-end workflows, including appropriate risk-based security testing.
- Maintain established QA processes and automation frameworks, identifying and implementing practical improvements.
- Further the adoption of AI-assisted testing to improve test design, coverage analysis, test-data generation, automation and defect investigation, with appropriate review and validation.
- Manage test cases, execution cycles, defect tracking, evidence and traceability using Zephyr and Jira.
- Coordinate release regression testing and prepare consolidated reports outlining test outcomes, outstanding defects, residual risks and release readiness.
- Work collaboratively with engineers to investigate and resolve defects, improve test coverage and support reliable software releases.
