Quality Specialist Jobs in Florida

Position Summary

We are seeking a detail-oriented, analytical professional to support system verification, software quality activities, configuration management, and production/integration efforts for complex hardware and software systems.

This position is well suited for individuals who enjoy investigating problems, validating results, maintaining accurate records, and ensuring that systems are delivered correctly and consistently. While technical experience is valuable, success in this role is driven by attention to detail, sound judgment, process discipline, and a commitment to quality.

The successful candidate will work closely with engineering, production, and operations teams to verify system functionality, maintain configuration control, support system deployments, and help identify and resolve issues throughout the product lifecycle.

• Verify that system behavior meets documented requirements and expectations
• Document test results, observations, and discrepancies
• Assist in identifying, reproducing, and investigating reported issues
• Support acceptance testing and release readiness reviews
• Ensure verification activities are conducted consistently and accurately

Configuration & Release Control

• Maintain records of approved software, hardware, and system configurations
• Verify that deployed systems match approved baselines
• Support release documentation and configuration tracking activities
• Assist with change tracking and configuration audits
• Ensure traceability between requirements, changes, and released products

System Integration & Production Support

• Configure and deploy approved system builds and releases
• Support integration, staging, and operational test activities
• Perform system setup, verification, and operational checks
• Troubleshoot configuration and deployment issues
• Document system configurations and installation activities
• Assist in maintaining test, integration, and production environments

Continuous Improvement

• Identify opportunities to improve procedures and documentation
• Recommend process improvements based on observations and lessons learned
• Support development of repeatable and reliable verification processes
• Contribute to a culture of quality, accountability, and continuous learning

What Makes Someone Successful in This Role

We are looking for individuals who naturally demonstrate:

Attention to Detail

You notice inconsistencies, discrepancies, and unexpected results that others may overlook.

Investigative Thinking

You enjoy understanding how things work and determining why something happened, not just that it happened.

Ownership

You take responsibility for driving issues toward resolution and ensuring work is completed thoroughly.

Process Discipline

You understand the importance of following established procedures while helping improve them when necessary.

Systems Thinking

You recognize how changes in one area can affect other parts of a system.

Communication and Documentation

You can clearly communicate findings, observations, concerns, and recommendations.

Integrity

You are willing to raise concerns, question assumptions, and present objective evidence even when it is inconvenient.

Preferred Backgrounds

Candidates may come from a variety of disciplines, including:

• Quality Assurance
• Software Testing
• Statistics or Data Analysis
• Systems Engineering
• Manufacturing Quality
• Technical Operations
• Production Support
• Aerospace or Defense Programs
• Telecommunications
• Information Technology
• Military Technical Occupations
• Engineering Technology

Equivalent combinations of education, training, and experience will be considered.

Desired Skills

Experience in one or more of the following areas is helpful:

• System testing and verification
• Technical troubleshooting
• Configuration management
• Requirements validation
• Quality management systems
• Technical documentation
• Root-cause analysis
• Software or hardware integration
• Linux or Windows operating systems
• Version control or release management
• Networking fundamentals

Training will be provided for organization-specific tools, systems, and processes.

Work Environment

This role may involve work in:

• Engineering laboratories
• Integration and test environments
• Production or manufacturing areas
• Operational support environments
• Cross-functional engineering teams

The position requires a willingness to learn complex systems, follow structured processes, and collaborate with multiple technical disciplines.

Why This Role Matters

The work performed in this position directly contributes to delivering reliable, correctly configured, and thoroughly verified systems. Success is measured not only by finding problems, but by helping ensure that products are delivered safely, consistently, and with confidence.

Ideal Candidate Summary

The ideal candidate is the person who:

• Asks questions when something does not make sense.
• Relies on evidence rather than assumptions.
• Documents findings clearly and accurately.
• Notices small details that could become larger problems.
• Enjoys troubleshooting and problem-solving.
• Takes pride in quality and accuracy.
• Can learn new technical systems and processes.
• Understands that reliability comes from disciplined execution.

This type of posting tends to attract candidates with strong QA, statistics, manufacturing quality, military technical, engineering support, and systems verification backgrounds—even if they have not worked with your exact software stack or platform before. It shifts the focus from "What commands do you already know?" to "How do you think, investigate, and ensure quality?" which is often a better predictor of long-term success in a system integration and verification role.
