Description:
Morson Canada is hiring a Senior QA Software Tester for a leading naval defence technology company in Dartmouth, NS. Their sonar, radar, and underwater systems are used by allied navies around the world.
This is a hands-on role for a tester who enjoys both sides of the job: running manual test cases and helping bring automation into the mix.

- Review functional and design specs and turn them into clear test cases and test artifacts
- Execute manual tests, analyze results, and collect test evidence
- Log, track, and triage defects with the development team
- Run regression testing as fixes come in
- Spot good candidates for automation and help write basic automation scripts
- Act as a test SME during documentation reviews
What you bring
- 6+ years in a complex engineering environment (aerospace, defence, simulation, or similar)
- Comfortable on the Linux command line
- Solid grounding in functional, regression, and integration testing
- Experience with defect tracking tools like JIRA
- Strong documentation habits and attention to detail
- A degree in a related field, or equivalent experience
Nice to have
- Python or Bash scripting
- Git, CI/CD pipelines, Nexus, VS Code
- IBM DOORS or other test management tools
- Automation tools like Robot Framework, Selenium, or Playwright
What’s offered
- $99,000 to $140,000 CAD + 5% annual bonus
- 4 weeks of vacation plus 12 paid stat holidays
- Choice of a regular schedule or a nine-day fortnight (every second Friday off)
- Company-paid health and dental from day one
- Life insurance at 3x salary, plus AD&D, both company-paid
- 5% RRSP match, plus an optional TFSA
- Relocation assistance for candidates moving to Nova Scotia
