The Functional Testing Engineer is responsible for ensuring the quality, reliability, and functional accuracy of the organization’s software platforms, particularly systems related to video analytics and video management. The role focuses on validating that software features and system integrations meet defined requirements through structured functional testing, test planning, and defect analysis across the software development lifecycle. Working closely with development and product teams, the engineer reviews system designs, develops and executes test cases, and analyzes test results to identify issues and improve product quality. The role requires a solid understanding of software QA methodologies, experience with both white-box and black-box testing, and the ability to use programming or scripting languages (such as Java or Python) and SQL to support test execution, data validation, and troubleshooting of system behaviour.
