Medpace QA test engineer recruitment 2026: entry level, Navi Mumbai

Manual testing is the skill this job is built on. The Medpace QA test engineer opening is an entry level job in the IT team at the company's Navi Mumbai office. Medpace asks for a bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems or a related field. It also asks for hands-on work writing and running manual tests. Automation is a plus, not a must.

The listing first went up on 17 July 2026. It was still live when we checked it on 12 October 2026.

What Medpace does, in short

Medpace is a clinical contract research organisation, or CRO. It runs clinical trials, from phase I to phase IV, for drug, biotech and medical device firms. The company is based in Cincinnati, Ohio. It says it has more than 6,500 staff in over 40 countries.

That matters for a tester. Software in this field supports clinical research, and the listing says it wants 100% test coverage of the requirements. Experience in the regulated healthcare industry is listed as a plus.

Two names for one Medpace QA test engineer role

The job title on the page is Entry Level Software QA Test Engineer. The description calls the same hires Junior Software QA Test Engineers, with Validation Engineer in brackets. Medpace uses both names and does not say which one goes on the offer letter. Search for either if you want to track the job later.

Day-to-day work of a Medpace QA test engineer

The listing names seven duties. In our words, you would:

• Work with developers and end users through the whole software life cycle, so the app does what users need.
• Test in more than one way: manual, exploratory and automated.
• Write and keep up test cases, test plans and project documents.
• Review test cases written by others on the team, and have yours reviewed.
• Find software defects and gaps, and report them.
• Read the requirement specs, question them, add to them, and make sure every line is covered by a test.
• Help end users run their own acceptance test scripts.

That last duty means time with the people who use the software, helping them sign it off.

Who can apply for the Medpace QA test engineer role

Medpace lists five qualifications:

• A bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems or a related field.
• Experience writing and running manual tests for complex software. Automated testing is a plus.
• Experience working in teams that mix developers, department leads and end users.
• Strong computer skills, plus good analytical, written and spoken communication.
• Experience in the regulated healthcare industry, which is a plus.

The page does not give a number of years. It asks for testing experience but sets no minimum. Medpace also calls the job entry level. A fresher who has written and run test cases in an internship or a final-year project fits the wording. A fresher with no testing work at all does not match the second line.

No batch year, age limit or marks rule is stated. B.Tech, B.E., BCA and B.Sc IT graduates fall close to the degree line. MCA and M.Sc graduates also hold a bachelor's degree. Medpace does not define "related field", so check with them if your degree is far from computing. See more openings for BCA and B.Sc graduates, MCA and M.Sc graduates and engineering graduates.

How to prepare for the Medpace QA test engineer job

Medpace has not published a test or round pattern. These steps follow from the duties it lists.

• Learn to write a clear test case: steps, test data, expected result and actual result.
• Write a short test plan for an app you know. Cover scope, what you will not test, and how you will report bugs.
• Practise exploratory testing on a live website. Note every defect with steps to reproduce it.
• Build a traceability matrix that maps each requirement to its tests. This is how you show 100% coverage.
• Learn what user acceptance testing is, and how it differs from system testing.
• If you have time, learn one automation tool at a basic level. Selenium with Java or Python is a common start.

Since the software serves clinical research, read up on what software validation means in a regulated field.

Work setup, pay and dates

The Medpace QA test engineer job is full time and based in the office. Medpace mentions on-site mentors and training programmes. It says occasional work from home is allowed for eligible roles after training. Its benefits list includes health, wellness, retirement and paid time off. The page adds that benefits vary by country, so the India package may differ.

Salary is not disclosed by the company. The page's job data carries a pay field, but it is set to zero, so it gives no figure. Number of openings is not stated either.

The page's job data shows an end date of 17 July 2027. That is exactly one year after the 17 July 2026 posting date. It looks like an automatic expiry set by the system, not a closing date Medpace chose. Do not plan around it. The job can close at any time before then.
