Role Summary
Our client is seeking an experienced Test Manager to design, implement, and oversee a unified testing and release strategy across multiple technical domains. This role is essential to ensure the quality, reliability, and performance of both embedded and web-based solutions in a dynamic, agile environment.
The Test Manager will play a dual role: setting the overall testing strategy at a high level while also contributing hands-on to testing activities when needed.
Key Responsibilities
Strategy & Governance
Define and roll out a comprehensive test strategy adapted to different solution areas.
Translate this strategy into concrete testing practices (functional, integration, performance, robustness, etc.).
Integrate automated testing within a robust CI/CD pipeline.
Establish a consistent release and launching strategy, taking into account interdependencies between systems.
Automation & CI/CD
Design and oversee automated testing frameworks, including:
Unit, integration, and regression testing.
Infrastructure and connectivity testing (APIs, unstable networks, reconnections).
Performance and non-functional testing.
Define and monitor CI/CD pipelines, including quality gates and triggering mechanisms.
Coordination & Reporting
Work closely with team leads to ensure alignment of deliverables.
Monitor quality indicators and evolve the testing strategy based on field feedback.
Provide regular reporting that can be integrated into project governance structures (e.g., Steering Committees, Project Status Reports).
Operational Contribution
Take ownership of specific test activities, supporting teams directly when needed.
Draft or review test plans, automated scripts, and defect reports.
Actively participate in agile ceremonies (Sprint Planning, Reviews, Retrospectives).
Profile & Qualifications
5+ years of proven experience as a Test Manager or QA Lead, ideally in environments combining embedded systems and web applications.
Strong knowledge of testing methodologies (ISTQB certification is an asset).
Familiarity with embedded (C/C++) and web (PHP or similar) environments.
Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools (e.g., GitLab CI, Jenkins, Azure DevOps) and test management tools (e.g., XRay, TestRail).
Solid understanding of connected environments with potential instability (network resilience, error handling, robustness validation).
Strong documentation and communication skills, with the ability to formalize global strategies.
Autonomous, rigorous, and collaborative mindset.
Excellent communication skills in English and either French or Dutch (oral and written).
