Are you eager to launch your tech career with a company that’s improving the planet—one drop at a time? Join Badger Meter as a Manual Software QA Tester and play a meaningful role in enhancing the quality of web and mobile applications that support smart water management across the globe.

At Badger Meter, innovation meets impact. With over a century of expertise and a deep commitment to environmental sustainability, we’re not just making great software—we’re helping communities monitor, conserve, and protect one of Earth’s most precious resources: water.

This entry-level role is focused on ensuring the quality of our web and mobile software applications through manual testing. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, analytical, and communicative—someone who is eager to learn, asks thoughtful questions, and collaborates well with others. This person does not have to come in with extensive software or technical experience, we are willing to train!

You will design and execute test cases, verify functionality, identify issues, and provide valuable feedback to developers and product teams. While the focus of this role is manual testing, some basic technical skills (e.g., Python scripting, SQL queries, API tools) will be used to support test efforts. This is not an automation engineering role, but technical curiosity and hands-on troubleshooting are encouraged and supported. This is a hybrid role with a minimum three days a week in the office in Los Gatos.
