Clear Ballot is seeking a Junior Software QA Engineer to test our voting system products.
About This Role
As a Junior QA Engineer, you'll work with the QA team to test voting software on voting machines and on consumer-off-the-
shelf (CoTS) hardware. We have many complex integrations to test. You’ll also write documentation – a lot of it: test cases,
confluence articles, and supporting documents for certification. This is NOT a remote position. Four days a week in the
Nashua, NH office is required.
Key Responsibilities
● Perform manual testing on voting hardware and plan and write test cases in Jira's Requirements Traceability Matrix
(RTM).
● Communicate bugs, issues, enhancement requests, and complaints to the rest of the team and document them in Jira.
● Collaborate with other teams including Engineering, Design, Training, and Services.
● Perform CoTS hardware testing and configuration.
● Validate technical documentation to ensure conformance to system requirement specifications and applicable regulations.
● As part of a small team, creatively fill needs as they are identified.
● Be available for on-site or remote support to jurisdictions on Election Day.
Requirements
Qualified candidates will have demonstrated the following skills and experience, or the aptitude to develop them:
● 1–2 years of experience in manual testing.
● Able to work in-office 4 days per week (this role tests on physical hardware in the QA lab).
● Solid writing skills, including the ability to document test cases that will be used by third-party organizations.
● Fluent English communication (written and verbal).
● Experience writing manual test cases, bug reports, and how-to articles.
● Passion for finding bugs and tricky edge cases, a problem-solver's mentality, and a desire to take ownership of product quality.
Nice to Have
● Experience with Jira.
● Exposure to testing software within a hardware environment.
● Experience with Unix platforms, MySQL, and backend logs.
Salary and Benefits
We believe that our people's wellbeing and development are key to our success, and we offer benefits with this in mind,
including:
● Competitive salary
● Generous vacation days
● Life and medical benefits
● Stock options
