We take play seriously. We’re looking for curious adventurers ready to find their party, fueled by imagination and drive to build what’s never been built before. At Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast, you’ll collaborate with passionate teams to reimagine our iconic brands and create experiences that spark joy, connection, and community through the magic of play. This is your chance to shape legendary play that lasts a lifetime.
QMO is responsible for the quality benchmark that every Hasbro project adheres to — covering requirements through closure — across AI, automation, manual, performance, security, and compatibility testing. The team is transitioning from manual and legacy scripted automation to AI-enhanced testing, involving a move to Playwright and embracing Tosca's agentic AI features.
We're hiring a Lead QA Engineer to lead our transition to AI-enhanced test automation. This is a technical leadership role without formal direct reports. You will develop the automation strategy and directly guide the daily automation and AI efforts of our offshore vendor team. You will advise the technical aspects of our Selenium-to-Playwright migration, the integration of Tosca's AI/agentic features, and test coverage across SAP, P2M, and Hasbro CLM(which is migrating to AWS). We seek someone highly skilled to help build the future of our QA processes!
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and lead the technical strategy for AI-enhanced test automation. This reduces dependence on manually written scripts by adopting AI and agentic automation methods, such as Tosca's agentic AI capabilities.
- Lead the migration of automation suites from Selenium to Playwright, including framework architecture and standard methodologies.
- Manage the daily automation and AI-related activities of our offshore vendor team, determining priorities and evaluating output quality — without formal people-management responsibility.
- Take ownership for test case management and regression/defect tracking methods in qTest, ensuring they grow alongside the team's automation-first approach.
- Collaborate with SAP and P2M functional teams to integrate automation coverage into their release cycles.
- Support QA needs for Hasbro CLM through its migration to AWS, including planning test coverage on the new platform.
- Translate business and QA strategy into concrete implementation plans — proactively identifying risk and next steps rather than completing a fixed task list.
- Provide updates on automation progress, potential risks, and suggestions to QA leadership.
Required Qualifications
- 6+ years of QA automation experience, including demonstrated lead-level ownership of automation strategy.
- Practical experience with Tricentis Tosca, including building, structuring and maintaining automation scripts
- Solid practical experience with Playwright, including firsthand involvement in transitioning automation suites from Selenium.
- Demonstrated experience applying AI-augmented automation approaches to reduce manual script authoring — not just traditional record-and-playback or hand-coded scripting.
- Experience with qTest for managing test cases and tracking regression/defects.
- Testing background across SAP and P2M platforms.
- Practical understanding of or direct experience with AWS services.
- Experience directing or closely coordinating the work of an offshore vendor QA/automation team.
- Proven capability to convert business and test strategy into a detailed action plan, instead of merely finishing assigned tasks — showing solid responsibility and discernment.
Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have)
- Experience with NeoLoad or a comparable performance testing tool.
- Familiarity with Azure (SharePoint Framework, Azure Functions) — Hasbro CLM's current platform ahead of its AWS migration.
- Exposure to RMS and CSP platforms.
- CI/CD pipeline experience (e.g., GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Jenkins).
- Scripting/programming proficiency in Selenium, JavaScript/TypeScript or Python.
- Experience with security and/or compatibility testing.
- Familiarity with Power BI or similar reporting/dashboard tools.
- Effective communication abilities, including confidence in updating senior leadership on status and suggestions.

QA Engineer Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a qa engineer in Massachusetts?
QA engineering in Massachusetts does not require a state-issued license, so the path runs through education and demonstrated technical skills. Most employers expect at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related discipline. Candidates who earn the ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level credential or a vendor certification in a major automation tool stand out in the Massachusetts market, particularly for life sciences and defense roles where documented testing methodology matters.
How much do QA engineers make in Massachusetts?
QA engineers in Massachusetts earn a median of about $122,210 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $68,050 for the lowest 10% to over $168,000 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire qa engineers in Massachusetts?
Employers hiring qa engineers in Massachusetts right now include State Street, PTC, and Teleflex, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Massachusetts's concentration of biotech, medtech, and defense firms means QA roles here often carry additional expectations around regulatory standards such as FDA validation protocols or DO-178C aerospace software requirements.
Which Massachusetts cities have the most qa engineer jobs?
Boston, Waltham, and Cambridge account for the largest share of qa engineer openings in Massachusetts. The Greater Boston area drives the bulk of postings through its dense cluster of biotech companies along Route 128 and enterprise software firms in Cambridge, while Burlington and Waltham attract QA roles tied to the defense and networking technology employers anchored along the I-95 corridor north and west of the city.
Are there remote qa engineer jobs in Massachusetts?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 62% of qa engineer openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how much of the work centers on code review, test script execution, and defect tracking in shared digital environments. Automation and performance testing roles are the most likely to be fully remote, while positions involving physical device testing or on-site regulatory audits typically require in-person presence.
How can I get hired as a qa engineer in Massachusetts with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an associate or junior QA analyst role at a mid-size Massachusetts software or biotech firm, where structured onboarding is common. Companies like Biogen and MathWorks have hired recent graduates into QA-adjacent positions that transition into full testing roles. Building a portfolio of automated test scripts on public repositories strengthens any application, and earning the ISTQB Foundation Level certificate signals baseline methodology knowledge that Massachusetts hiring managers value even without professional experience.
Where can I find and apply to qa engineer jobs in Massachusetts?
You can find and apply to qa engineer jobs in Massachusetts on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings tied to the Massachusetts market. Find roles that match your experience and specialization, then apply directly through each listing without needing to create a profile or sign up first.
