The posting

Pinewood.AI is seeking a technically strong, hands-on QA Engineer to own and deliver our quality strategy for our Automotive Intelligence Platform.

We are seeking a QA Engineer with a strong manual testing mindset who has some experience with automation testing and takes ownership of product quality and user experience. This role focuses on thoughtful, risk‑based testing, clear communication, and collaboration.

You’ll work closely with engineering and product teams to ensure features are fit for purpose, reliable, and releasable, while contributing to continuous improvement of our QA approach. This role would sit embedded into one of our Development teams.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Own manual testing for assigned features from refinement to release
  • Design and execute meaningful test scenarios, not just scripted cases
  • Perform functional, regression, exploratory, and integration testing
  • Validate requirements and acceptance criteria
  • Identify risk, edge cases, and user‑impacting defects early
  • Provide clear go/no‑go quality assessments for releases
  • Raise clear, actionable defects with strong reproduction steps
  • Assess severity, priority, and customer impact
  • Work closely with developers to support root‑cause analysis
  • Retest fixes thoroughly and verify acceptance
  • Engage actively in backlog refinement, planning, and retros
  • Challenge unclear or incomplete requirements constructively
  • Communicate quality status, risks, and confidence clearly
  • Contribute ideas to improve QA practices and consistency
  • Support regression and release testing activities
  • Responsible for contributing towards the organisation's information security strategy, ensuring the protection of sensitive data and compliance with relevant regulations, while managing risk and adhering to all established security measures
  • Work in a hybrid model (approx. 2 days currently onsite at Solihull Blythe Valley)

Requirements

  • Strong manual testing experience in Agile environments
  • Experience with at least one automation tool or framework (e.g. Playwright, Cypress, Selenium)
  • Solid understanding of testing principles and techniques
  • Ability to test across browsers, devices, and environments
  • Experience with defect tracking tools (e.g. Jira, Azure DevOps)
  • API testing basics (e.g. Postman)
  • Comfortable validating data (basic SQL or equivalent)
  • Familiarity with version control (Git) is a plus
  • Thinks like a user, not just a tester
  • Focuses on risk and impact, not box‑ticking
  • Cares deeply about shipped quality
  • Shift left experience in the development cycle

Desirable Experience:

  • Testing dealer management systems or automotive retail software.
  • Familiarity with service scheduling, parts inventory, warranty workflows and aftersales processes.
  • Experience integrating Playwright or similar tools into Microsoft tech stacks and cloud CI pipelines.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary based on experience
  • Bonus scheme
  • Share scheme
  • Hybrid working
  • 25 days holiday plus all UK bank holidays
  • 4x life assurance
  • Enhanced family-friendly leave - 5 months' full pay for maternity or adoption, plus 2 weeks' fully paid paternity/adoption leave and an extra 2 weeks to use as paid annual leave within 24 months of birth or adoption
  • Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) - free, confidential 24/7 support for you and your immediate family (including counselling, legal & financial advice, and wellbeing resources)
  • Ongoing training & professional development
  • Cycle to Work scheme - save up to 40% on bikes and accessories through salary sacrifice
  • Eyecare vouchers - free eye test and contribution towards prescription glasses
  • Regular social events
  • Exclusive gym (Virgin Active) membership scheme

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
