This role leads a team of SQEs while actively contributing as a hands-on engineer, driving the execution and continuous improvement of a modern, shift-left, and continuous quality engineering model.

 

The SQE Manager owns the implementation of test strategy and ensures that all test design aligns to risk, requirements, and regulatory expectations. This role maintains strong partnership with Software Development, Systems Engineering, DevOps, and global teams to ensure quality is embedded early in the lifecycle and sustained through continuous verification and feedback.

 

A critical focus of this role is enforcing disciplined processes, ensuring high-quality, repeatable, and traceable test design, and driving alignment to the global SQE operating model. The SQE Manager plays a key role in coaching and developing SQE capability while ensuring consistent execution of quality practices across projects and sites.

• Ensure test cases are defined, reviewed, and approved in alignment with overall test strategy, risk, and regulatory requirements.
• Develop and oversee the creation of high-quality test cases for both manual and automated testing, ensuring appropriate coverage and traceability. Determine and guide which test cases should be automated versus remain manual, based on risk, repeatability, efficiency, and overall value.
• Drive development of comprehensive, repeatable, and traceable test cases that fully cover product requirements and risk controls.
• Enforce adherence to defined SQE processes, quality gates, and lifecycle expectations to prevent defect escape and reduce rework.
• Partner with Software Development, Systems Engineering, and DevOps to embed shift-left practices and continuous testing into development workflows.
• Participate in architecture and design reviews to ensure testability, early quality validation, and alignment with system requirements.
• Support and operationalize cybersecurity and performance testing strategies within project execution and test design.
• Review test execution results and ensure accuracy, completeness, and appropriate defect identification.
• Drive continuous improvement of SQE processes, tools, and practices based on project insights, metrics, and feedback.
• Ensure global consistency in test practices, enabling test cases to be executed reliably across distributed teams with defined baseline knowledge.
• Reinforce alignment to the SQE ownership model, ensuring test strategy remains SQE-driven and automation execution aligns with defined test cases.

 

OTHER DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Support the Senior SQE Manager in defining and evolving global SQE strategy, processes, and standards.
