About the Job

Requirements

  • At least 3 years of experience in software, firmware, or hardware quality assurance or validation engineering, ideally on complex, multi-component products.
  • Experience with embedded or connected-device products, including firmware and hardware-software integration.
  • Hands-on experience with test case design, test execution, and automated testing methodologies.
  • Working experience with test management and requirements traceability, using Jira, Zephyr Scale or an equivalent, and log analysis tools such as Splunk.
  • Working knowledge of scripting or automation, such as Python, and CI/CD-integrated test frameworks.
  • A bachelor's degree in engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent experience.

Responsibilities

  • Own execution of release regression, both manual and automated, exploratory testing, and impacted areas for individual new features, scoping coverage to risk and release timelines.
  • Design and maintain the test strategy for assigned products or domains, including test case creation and prioritization, and traceability from requirements (PRD/Jira) through test cases in a test management system such as Zephyr Scale.
  • Partner with engineering under the shift-left model by reviewing developer-authored test plans and acceptance tests, flagging coverage gaps, and owning regression, exploratory, specialized, environmental, and vehicle testing that engineering cannot do alone.
  • Investigate and document defects; represent QA in bug triage and challenge premature “won’t fix” decisions with reproducible evidence and customer-impact data.
  • Lead release-readiness reporting, including feature quality reports, test execution status, and production-versus-staging escape analysis, to inform go/no-go decisions.
  • Identify and drive test tooling and process improvements, including dashboards for regression and performance monitoring, new test-equipment integrations, and AI-assisted test case generation.
  • Coordinate with Engineering, PM/TPM, and hardware/RF labs to resolve scheduling, access, and documentation gaps that block testing.
  • Manage multiple concurrent test cycles and releases with minimal oversight, setting priorities across competing deadlines.

Desired Qualifications

  • Familiarity with hardware and environmental test methods, including RF, GPS/GNSS, environmental chambers, and LTE/Wi-Fi connectivity testing.
  • Experience using AI tools for test case generation, traceability, and test data analysis.
