SQA Engineer - ASPICE

You will serve as a Software Quality Assurance (SQA) Engineer, dedicated exclusively to Quality Assurance (QA) activities as defined by industry standards, particularly focusing on the ASPICE (Automotive SPICE) SUP.1 (Software Quality Assurance) process area. This role is focused on process compliance, objective evaluation, and ensuring adherence to development standards-it is not a software testing role.

Specific activities include, but may not be limited to:

SW Release Check Reviews (Primary Focus): Conduct independent verification and validation activities with a primary focus on Software Release Check Reviews and all defined work products (e.g., requirements, design, test plans, source code) to ensure they meet quality criteria. Ensure that project-specific ASPICE SUP.1 work product processes are followed during execution.

Non-Conformance Management: Identify, document, track, and manage software non-conformances and deviations from standards, collaborating with development teams to ensure timely and effective resolution and corrective actions.

Reporting & Metrics: Establish and report quality assurance metrics and results of performed evaluations to project management and relevant stakeholders, providing objective evidence of product and process compliance.

Release Gate Management: Support quality gates and readiness reviews throughout the software development lifecycle, ensuring all mandatory quality assurance activities are completed before phase transitions or product release.

Tool Chain & Traceability (Future): Potential future opportunity to expand into verifying and auditing the project's tool chain configuration to support defined quality processes, including ensuring proper configuration management, change control, and traceability is maintained across all work products.
