Senior Quality Assurance Automation Engineer Jobs in Manhattan Beach, CA at HireKul
Title: Senior Quality Assurance Automation Engineer
Company: HireKul
Location: Manhattan Beach, CA
About the Role:
We are hiring an SDET / Automation Engineer to support in-person testing of retail point-of-sale systems for a global consumer retail enterprise, with a strong preference for candidates who have worked hands-on with the retail POS platform.
This is a dedicated on-site position: you will work from a physical retail technology lab, building and maintaining automation scripts against real POS hardware and terminal configurations rather than simulated environments. The core of the role is automation script development and maintenance — this is a hands-on engineering seat, not a lead or oversight role.
What You’ll Be Testing:
• Point-of-sale transaction flows on the POS platform — sales, returns, discounts, and tender processing.
• POS behavior against physical terminal hardware and peripherals in the on-site lab (scanners, printers, card readers).
• Store-level connectivity scenarios, including offline mode and recovery behavior.
• Regression coverage across POS releases, with particular attention to holiday/peak-season code-freeze stability.
Required Experience:
• 5+ years in QA with hands-on automation script development and maintenance as a core, ongoing responsibility.
• In-person experience with the Manhattan Associates retail POS platform strongly preferred.
• Willingness and ability to work fully on-site at a designated retail technology lab.
• Comfort troubleshooting hardware-dependent test scenarios directly, including physical device and terminal issues.
• Automation scripting proficiency (Python preferred).
• Methodical documentation habits — POS defects often need precise hardware/firmware/software version detail to reproduce.
