Test Engineer – Product DevelopmentWhy did you want to join Lumera?
I had been keeping an eye on Lumera for a while when I was contacted by a recruitment company about a role here, and I felt like it was just the right challenge for me. I got a good feeling during the recruitment process and when meeting some of my future colleagues.
Also, I've chosen Lumera twice since I changed jobs when I moved away from Stockholm, but came back because of great colleagues and work-life balance.
What is your workday like at Lumera?
A good mix of meetings and hands on testing! As a test engineer I work closely with various people in the company to make sure Lumera Core behaves as intended. I plan my days based on the priorities and workload so it varies depending on how close to a delivery we are in the projects I'm working at.
What is the most developmental aspect of your job?
All the extremely competent colleagues. Whenever I have a question (and it happens a lot) I can always ask someone for help and get the answers I need to move forward with my tasks. My role includes a lot of problem solving as well, so I need to learn things all the time.
How would you describe Lumera as a workplace in just a few words?
Flexible, inclusive, challenging and fun!
What do you do when you are not working at Lumera?
I spend a lot of time with my family and outdoors with our dogs as well as at the gym and on the track running. Since buying a house I could also call myself an aspiring gardener, but it's too early to say if I'm good or bad at that :)
