Associate QA Engineer Internship Program – Open to Candidates with 6+ Months of Hands-on QA Experience

Kathmandu
Full-time
Intern / Student

Your Contribution

We are looking for motivated junior candidates with at least some prior experience in Quality Assurance who want to build a career in QA and Test Automation. This internship is designed to provide hands-on, onsite training combined with real project contribution. The program focuses on developing foundational QA skills through guided functional validation, while contributing to automation and API baseline development. Interns will work closely with the QA team in a structured environment and participate in real testing workflows from the early stages. High-performing interns will be hired as an Associate QA Engineer upon successful completion of the program.


PROGRAM STRUCTURE (ONSITE – 6 MONTHS)

This is a fully onsite, guided internship program aligned with QA team priorities and ongoing release cycles.
  • The internship emphasizes a practical, tool-driven approach to automation, aligned with the goal of building a usable and maintainable testing baseline within the program duration.
  • Interns will primarily work with BrowserStack low-code automation for recording and maintaining UI test flows, along with Postman for API validation. The focus is on understanding application behavior, defining meaningful validations, and creating reusable test assets that support regression activities.
  • This approach prioritizes functional understanding, validation logic, and reusability over extensive scripting. Interns will be guided to translate real user flows into structured, repeatable tests and gradually contribute to a shared automation baseline.
  • The scope is intentionally kept focused to ensure that, within the internship period, candidates are able to both learn effectively and contribute to ongoing QA efforts. Exposure to scripting-based automation frameworks is not part of this program, as the emphasis is on building a strong QA foundation and delivering practical outcomes through accessible and scalable tools.
