Entry Level Software Test Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get an entry level software test engineer job?

Entry level software test engineer roles go to candidates who can show hands-on testing skills, even from coursework or personal projects. Familiarity with manual testing, basic automation tools like Selenium or Postman, and a working knowledge of bug-tracking software gives you a real edge. Employers at this level prioritize demonstrated ability over years on a resume, so a documented testing project or internship experience carries significant weight.

Which companies hire entry level software test engineers?

Companies hiring entry level software test engineers right now include CNH Industrial, PlayStation, and Google, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. A wide range of employers hire at this level, from large technology firms with structured new grad programs to mid-size software companies and startups that bring on junior testers alongside agile development teams.

Are there remote entry level software test engineer jobs?

Yes, though availability varies by employer and team. About 19% of entry level software test engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting how broadly distributed software teams have become. Some fully remote roles do prefer candidates who already have a working home setup and some self-directed experience, so pointing to independent projects can strengthen a remote application.

Are these new grad software test engineer jobs?

Yes, many listings here are new grad and junior roles that explicitly welcome recent graduates and candidates with minimal professional experience. A new grad friendly posting typically accepts zero to two years of experience, counts internships or academic projects toward that requirement, and often lists a portfolio or capstone project as an acceptable substitute for full-time work history.

Which industries hire the most entry level software test engineers?

Entry Level software test engineer roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Manufacturing, and Aerospace & Defense, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Those sectors drive hiring at this level because they ship software continuously and need junior testers to support quality assurance pipelines alongside more senior engineers and developers.
